MADE IN: Milano | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2023-02-01 | Expertise and passion for crafting made-to-measure bikes are at the heart of the Italian Passoni brand. Founded in the late 80's in the pre-carbon era by Luciano and Luca Passoni, it was the first company in Europe that produced titanium bikes when off-the-shelf tubing wasn't yet available. Every tube had to be made by starting from titanium sheets which were bended and welded into exceptional quality, bespoke bicycle frames. A passion for the sport and its culture has always been at the very heart of Passoni’s identity as they have spent the last 30 years building stunning machines for those with a true appreciation of fine craftsmanship. Passoni has always been a brand steeped in cycling history.Subtitles available!

That feeling when youre out there on the trails. Thats when the magic happens. #ShimanoMTB #RideShimano 2023-01-26 | That feeling when you're out there on the trails. That's when the magic happens. That's where dreams come alive. #ShimanoMTB #MakeYourMark #MagicFeeling
Magic Feeling | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2023-01-26 | What would you choose if you could have one superpower? There are so many options to choose from: flying, being invisible, or even super-strength, but what if you could choose to have your dream trails appear right-in-front of you…anywhere, anytime?Sounds crazy to be passing on so many cool superpowers to choose this, right?For us, it’s simple: nothing beats the feeling of riding a fresh trail that you have imagined and built yourself — we love everything about it! From using your creativity and seeing a line appear in your imagination, to digging it out with your bare hands, shovels and pickaxes, and then finally being able to ride it.When your wheels touch that fresh dirt for the first time – it feels like riding on a cloud – or when you hit a jump perfectly – it feels like flying – and when you pick up speed and find your flow, it feels like a video game. And it doesn’t have to end there either. Building trails means leaving something for others to enjoy, making the world more fun, not just for you, but for everyone. And this is a true superpower!Subtitles available!

MADE IN: New England | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-12-07 | For Kevin Wolfson, the beauty of designing a gravel bike is understanding how the mere term ‘gravel’ can mean totally different things to different riders. Name a gravel bike configuration and Wolfson has probably helped create it. Flare bar, dropper post, with a mountain bike fork? Yessir, done that. A relaxed frame with endless bikepacking attachments and 650b tires? For sure. A sleek sub-17 pound gravel race bike? By the dozens. Where you live and how you ride, it turns out, is how you see the gravel world.Subtitles available!

How to gain confidence on the downhills on your mountain bike | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-12-01 | As a former professional downhill racer, Andrew knows all there is to know about descending well.It’s not all about speed, however, and one of the key takeaways from this episode is to practice the technique and build your confidence before adding in speed. Speed will come once you’ve mastered the other fundamental skills involved in descending, such as looking far ahead, positioning your body and weight correctly, staying relaxed, and being smart with your braking.Go out and try each of the techniques in turn and soon you’ll be descending with confidence and a huge smile on your face!Subtitles available!

How to ride switchbacks on your mountain bike | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-11-17 | As you build up your toolbox of mountain bike skills you will find you are able to explore farther and take on more technically challenging trails. You will always encounter twists and turns in your trails, but some corners are more difficult than others, and the tightest corners are called switchbacks.If your trails include switchbacks you will often find that they come in quick succession, rather than one at a time, and in this episode Andrew walks us through how to ride a series of switchbacks successfully. Key areas to focus on include: speed and braking; line of sight; head position; and different lines to try.Subtitles available!

Basajaun – Expect the unexpected | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-11-08 | Basajaun is, as you’d expect for something named after the mythical guardian of the Basque Country’s most remote forests, a 760 km gravel race that’s chock-a-block with challenges.Pitching itself alongside Badlands as the ‘ultimate unassisted gravel event in Europe,’ Shimano Gravel Alliance rider Ibai Fradejas knew he needed to be on the startline at the inaugural edition of this 760 km race which promises 15,000 metres of climbing and a 75/25 unpaved–paved ratio.From lush forests to arid and barren plains, the banks of the Ebro River to the rugged Sierra de la Demanda, scaling Pico San Lorenzo before cutting through the Izko Natural Park, there was no semblance of monotony throughout his 48-hour riding time.Subtitles available!

How to tackle a steep climb on your mountain bike | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-11-03 | One of the main attractions of mountain biking is the freedom it gives us to go off-the-beaten path and explore new places. As you become more confident and adventurous in your riding, it’s likely that the trails you ride will include some steep climbing sections, which require a particular technique to conquer. In this episode, Andrew explains how to break down the technique for tackling steep climbs, starting with a positive mindset. This is the key to succeeding in your goal of making it to the top. From there, things to focus on include: anticipating what’s coming, body position, weight distribution, gear selection, and smooth pedalling. Andrew describes how to break the climb into segments, rather than looking at it as one long climb, so that you can approach it tactically.Subtitles available!

MADE IN: Sakai City | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-11-01 | Subtitles available! Click on the CC (closed captions) button below the video.Nestled in a cramped shop space, next to a car repair garage, and across a busy street from an in-town rice paddy, Shouichi Soukawa is busy building the future of gravel cycling in Japan. Based in the industrial port city of Sakai City, Japan, Soukawa’s Corner Bikes brand is fast becoming one the region’s most innovative and coveted names, while also defining what the gravel space means to Japan’s bustling bike community.Trained in the traditional methods of steel frame production, Soukawa learned his craft in Tokyo but ultimately chose to return to his native Sakai City when it was time to start Corner Bikes. Long a center of industrial production in the steel industry, Sakai City’s vibrant creative culture and access to a wide variety of cycling terrain has proven the ideal mix for a burgeoning local gravel scene. Inspired by his artist friends, Soukawa infuses new meaning into gravel cycling and celebrates how locally produced frames can be customized for the local needs. Whether adventuring down small gravel paths within the city limits, riding out of the city to listen to his friends practice their music, or strapping his fishing pole to his bike for an all-day adventure in the foothills of the mountain south of the city, Soukawa has built his bikes to suit the riding he and his friends do in and around their city. Less about racing than adventuring and highlighting a blend of practical with fantastic, Soukawa’s Corner Bikes strive to create a space from which local riders and friends can cultivate and expand a singular gravel scene.Thank you for checking out the official #RideShimano YouTube channel!

The Yeti Shimano EP Racing Development Story - Trailer | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-10-05 | In 2016 SHIMANO launched its first E-MTB platform that was designed with the simple goal of delivering a natural mountain bike ride quality while giving riders an extra boost. It didn’t take long before interest in racing E-bikes made its way to the racing world. Dawning the new era of E-MTB racing, the Enduro World Series began with a test event that lead to its first official E-Mtb series officially launched in 2021. The EWS-E has since become the main stage for global E-MTB racing with unique formats that challenge rider and bike in the world’s most difficult terrain. SHIMANO’s 100-year heritage is rich in racing development working with some of the world’s best riders who have helped develop and shape industry leading products that we use today. SHIMANO is now focused on a new challenge; crafting the world’s best E-MTB system to reach the pinnacle of the sport. The unique landscape of E-MTB racing requires a close relationship with the frame manufacturer and Shimano’s development team. YETI Cycles’ long history of being a race-bred brand along with their recent release of the new 160E made them a natural choice. Both companies value the knowledge gained from the successes and failures of top level of racing, and together, YETI cycles and SHIMANO have joined forces to develop the best possible E Mountain Bikes.The newly formed YETI/Shimano EP Racing Team is comprised of two very talented riders, “sick” Mick Hannah who has years of experience racing on the World Cup DH circuit, and Keegan Wright, who is young and hungry and who already has an EWS event win under his belt. Both riders will play critical roles in the development process. Follow along on the team’s journey with the highs and lows of the development process and unfiltered behind the scenes footage in our bid for that elusive top step of the podium. Our series will be released next summer leading up to the first round of the 2023 EWS-E season.Subtitles available!

In Between The Races with Eleonora Farina | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-09-16 | Every rider and team has a unique way of maximising their performance, and it’s not all about tough gym sessions or long hours in the saddle. In Between The Races brings you the downtime, team spirit, personal quirks and funny moments of life outside the tape.In this episode, we’re with Eleonora Farina.What goes up must come down. Not just bikes, but emotions too. The build of tension, the surges of adrenaline and dopamine, the elation, frustration or devastation of race day all take their toll. Not only do riders leave the track physically exhausted, but often emotionally drained as well. For Eleonora, recognising that sensory overload and taking time to recalibrate is especially important between races. A rest day is a must for the body to re-centre and the mind to reset.

North Of The River with Dalila Lecky | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-09-15 | Dalila Lecky established her cycling directive—”fun and fast”—early on. She thinks back to her first crit race in 2014—”I was so proud to have stayed upright, at least until the final lap anyway,” she says with a grin—and the feeling of elation she got from having crossed London to get on the startline. At this point, she was a brand new member of a club in South London, in the very same part of the city she’d grown up in, except now she wasn’t playing on her BMX or crossing the city on her commute, she’d discovered racing. We followed Dalila and a group of ‘Steezers’ at the 2022 edition of North London Dirt, keeping their wheel as they made their way along 70 miles of the finest dirt, accessed directly from the city, featuring river paths, hidden parks and needle-threading through woodland on little-used singletrack.

The Path Less Paved - Alex Morgan | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-07-28 | PATH LESS PAVED: OCATE, NEW MEXICO. Shimano’s latest Originals short film shows us how an open-mind can help us find common ground in the unlikeliest of places. It’s this mindset that led lifetime cyclist Alex Morgan to gravel riding, and how he leads a fulfilling—if unconventional—life where the plains meet the mountains.Alex isn’t limited by the restrictive definitions of a single discipline. Whether it’s experimenting by building his own downhill frames complete with 29” wheels ahead of the curve, or working less so he can ride more; Alex won’t be confined by social norms.Alex shows us how a life without set limits can produce the most rewarding circumstances. When preconceived notions and stereotypes fall away, new possibilities and connections open up. After moving to New Mexico in 2018, Alex’s bike-driven lifestyle might have seemed a million miles apart from his new neighbors'. You might think, what do a gravel rider and a rancher have in common? Turns out, quite a lot. One chooses a bike while the other chooses a horse, but the outcome is the same: freedom, adventure and the endless terrain of New Mexico.Be sure to follow Alex at @nmgravel on Instagram to learn more about the New Mexico Fire Relief benefit ride he has planned for July 30th, 2022.

What is the spirit of Enduro? | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-07-06 | It’s bikes, of course it’s bikes! It’s sketchy, scary, fast and fun.

Ease the load with an e-cargo bike | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-07-04 | Discover how one town has solved its traffic problems with the introduction of a cargo-bike delivery service. Calderdale is a region of West Yorkshire in the North of England, and where the river Calder and river Hebden joins you will find Hebden Bridge, a historic market town. Nestled in amongst steep hills and narrow valleys, rippling rivers and wooded hillsides it makes for a stunningly beautiful, if challenging place to cycle. Its narrow old streets, cobblestones and an ancient pack-horse bridge also make it a challenging place for deliveries. It’s not the obvious first place to start a cargo-bike delivery scheme, but you’ve not met Cargodale yet.Subtitles available!

In Search Of Golden | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-06-09 | “Hike-a-bike’ is not for everyone, but it is certainly for Dan Milner. There is no trail too rugged, mountainside too steep or end-point too unknown for Dan. In fact, it’s exactly these things that make him get off and start pushing when most others would turn back. The lure of what’s over the horizon is too strong, and that’s what makes him the adventure photographer that we know and love. Subtitles available!

The Art of Grind | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-05-26 | Art of GrindSince the 1800s bicycles have been a powerful liberating tool, starting with the first faltering pedal strokes of a child daring to venture a little further from home. Yet, somewhere in our cultural trajectory, many of us have forgotten the power of this simple machine to build community. This film celebrates the "Run what you brung" adage, and reminds us that, however we choose to engage with the ever changing world of cycling, there is more that brings us together than sets us apart.Making of the filmAs is appropriate given the duality of this film, the story has two markedly different speeds. It took just 2 days to film Pete Stetina cycling across vast swaths of Nevada. In complete contrast to that, over the course of approximately 6 months, Leo Martinez, Kevin Garcia and Justin Williams spent countless hours working in the dusty confines of Leo's dad's garage building a thing of beauty; El Mestizo.Their inspiration initially was a tribute to the old-school lowriders of the late 70s and 80s. However, with a mixture of parts and styles both old and new, this is more than just a hat tip to that period. This bike is neither this nor that. It spans both generations and cultures, hence having earned itself the name "El Mestizo" - a person of mixed race, commonly with European and indigenous roots.Subtitles available!

The Special Ingredient | SHIMANO #RideShimano 2022-05-12 | Whilst an epic day of racing in particularly Scottish conditions would ordinarily necessitate rest for a professional rider, for Isla Short, this was the rest!
