ZM Cycle And Fitness has received their complete NS bikes as well as their NS frames and parts. THey are totally stoked. Here's what Tate had to say about it:

" I'm super stoked on all of the 2012 products this year, As soon as I walked into the shop today, I started jumping around with excitement from just looking at all the new products that had arrived! I'm so stoked to be selling such a great brand! Can't wait to see people riding these frames and complete bikes!"

Make sure you stop by and check them out in Toronto. The stuff is hot and will be flying out the door like crazy so don't wait until it's too late. Go get your hands on it now.

Our East Coast Homies went tripping to Ray's MTB Park earlier this year along with The Rise and they've got a complete roadtrip report along with loads of awesome pictures on the-rise.com! Check it out! **Roadtrip video is in the works**

Finally out, this 2nd Spit from our East Coast Homies features riding all the way back to one of our last beautiful September days up until our very last 2011 indoor ride. Sweet summer memories with Alexandre Paradis, Stéphane Bélanger, Samuel Croteau & Louis Lhomel. Not to forget that the 2012 summer is coming faster & faster and we can't wait to go riding outside again!

Props to Louis for dealing with a defective memory card resulting in loads of lost clips in addition of another one making exporting the video crazy complicated. This ended up in creating eternal delays to make the 2nd Spit happen.

Damn this was amazing! A flair to manual 180!?!? Sam is definitely stepping it up!

As usual, the beginning of the new year is very exciting because we all know that the brand new NS bikes are somewhere on the ocean making it over to our continent. This year they showed up early Jan, and were in our warehouse last week. Now they are in your local bike shop waiting for you to swing by and throw a leg over them. Our dealers were stoked to here about the new arrivals and already had pre-orders for customers who want to make sure they didn't miss out in 2012. Here's a shot taken in Ontario at Backpeddling in Guelph. Scott, the owner, was most please and impressed with the new bikes:

"The staff are stoked.... the bikes look and ride absolutely amazing!!! Looking forward to a fantastic season!!

Ride on, Clayton"

Today is a great day since we just received our first 2012 shipment from NS Bikes! This first batch contained the 2012 Metropolis 1, 2 & 3 as well as the 2012 Holy 1 & 2. As you are reading this, those beauties are now shipping to your favorite local LamaCycles retailer. Next shipment is due early February for parts & frames, then its gonna be end of March, beginning of April for the rest of the 2012 products including the Soda's!

So if you've been wanting a 2012 Metropolis or Holy, why not call your local bike shop and check if they have them in!? The LamaCycles retailer map will definitely help you out! http://www.lamacycles.com/en/retailers.html

Julien Grimard got behind the lens for this last session @ Southparc Skatepark in Brossard, QC.  Team manager Stéphane Bélanger & team rider Samuel Croteau got some awesome shots out of their last ride!

Eventhough the current location of Southparc Skatepark is no more, they are temporarily relocating their skatepark, just before they move to a brand new location. For more info hit south-parc.com/move.

First up is our sales rep and a great street/park rider - Piotr Jurczak ripping the streets of Gdansk on his NS Capital in sweet lemon and lime finish.

Dirt 100 just released their 2012 review and they say this:

"If we had to say which DH bike had the best suspension then the Makulu would be our choice"

The low leverage advantage plus single pivot simplicity certainly pays off.

Not just an effective suspension system though. I've tested this bike on over 60 days of downhill riding, long bike park days, and big mountain riding and it really holds up well as a proven, low maintenance design.

Durable, it will hold up to way more than that of a race-specific frame. This will go the distance, and beyond. How so ? Tested through 570,000 vertical feet in one season, and still going strong.

Rider tested, to the extreme.

We just wanted to send good holiday vibes out to everyone and say happy holidays! We really appreciate everyone's support and if it wasn't for you guys, LamaCycles Distribution wouldn't be what it is today. Hope everybody gets some nice chill time with family & friends and we're looking forward to another amazing year. Don't worry if things will probably be a bit slower during the holidays due to all the food and drinks we'll be consuming! Thanks again and have a great holiday from everyone here @ LamaCycles!
