Thanks to the support of the companies involved, all six of these bikes will be donated to Trail Joy in New Mexico where they’ll become part of a dirt jump bike library. People from all over the community who may never have the opportunity to ride a mountain bike can check a bike out, get some laps and see just how fun these hardtails are for no charge.
