The Californian brand's 2020 lineup of drop bar bikes has something for everyone, and it talked us through the range out in the glorious West Coast sunshine.

The alloy Lombard is perfect for long-distance commutes that combine urban and off-road riding, and has a totally new frame with geometry that’s claimed to be fast and stable.

The Gestalt (we recently reviewed the Gestalt X11 here) takes inspiration from mountain bikes and can be specced with a dropper seatpost, making it a true go-anywhere rig.

Finally, the Four Corners is built for long-distance comfort and maximum cargo configurability, making it a great partner for those wanting to go on an adventure.

Senior technical editor

Alex Evans is BikeRadar’s senior mountain bike technical editor. He started racing downhill at the tender age of 11 before going on to compete across Europe. Alex moved to Morzine in the French Alps at 19 to pursue a career as a bike bum and clocked up an enormous amount of riding. Hitting those famous tracks day in, day out for eight years, he broke more bikes than he can remember. Alex then moved back to the UK and put his vast knowledge of mountain biking to good use by landing a job working for MBUK magazine as features editor. Since working for MBUK, Alex’s focus has moved to bike tech. He’s one of BikeRadar’s lead testers and knows how to push bikes and products to the limit, searching out the equipment that represents the best value for money. Alex is also a dedicated eMTB rider, and still dabbles in racing of a sort, doing his best to top the Strava leaderboard on the steepest, gnarliest and twistiest trails the Tweed Valley has to offer – just for fun, of course. Alex is also a regular on the BikeRadar YouTube channel and BikeRadar podcast.
