Jason Sessums is competing at the first CrankWorx on American soil.

Versus Cycles is proud to say we have a sponsored rider in Hawaii! Jason Sussums is a Freerider and Downhiller from Hawaii, and this July he will be flying to Colorado for the upcoming CrankWorx event. CrankWorx Colorado looks to be one of the hottest events this year, with all the big names and media attention that the original gets, but this time on American soil. Jason has recently taken delivery of a new Blitz II frame, and will be throwing it down with the big boys at what is one of the hardest, yet most crowd-thrilling shows that Mountain Biking has to offer.

CrankWorx Colorado is being held July 5th-7th.

Versus Cycles unveils the Jab hardtail to the public at the Sea Otter Classic.

(Monterey, CA 2007-06-13)

Versus Cycles hot new chromoloy hardtail, the Jab, was seen by the public for the first time at the Sea Otter Classic held in Monterey, California. Although officially still in prototype form, the Jab seen at the Versus Cycles stand is very close to the finished product. The Jab has been given dialled geometry for dirt-jump and street riding. Sporting a brand new sticker job and pearlescent paint, the Jab was getting a lot of attention from passers by. The Jab was also featured in the Sea Otter edition of Decline Magazine. Click here to visit the Decline website. Versus Cycles rider Andrew Taylor has been our test rider for this bike, and has ridden a red version of the Jab in many competitions, including the Sea Otter dirt-jump contest and a first place win at the Teva Mountain Games dirt-jump contest. He loves the bike, and we hope you do too! We have sweated the details on this frame and dialed it in to get it to its present form.
