Like everything Lance, it comes in iconic yellow and black. $249 at 19 Sports (3920 N Sundial Court, Canyons Resort, 435.649.1901).

You can upgrade your ride with the Crank Bros. Cobalt 29 XC/race Wheelset. For bikes equipped with disc brakes, Cobalt uses an aluminum tubeless compatible rim. Weighing in at only 1,759 grams for the pair, these wheels get into light-road-wheel territory. $950 at Cole Sport (1615 Park Ave, 435.649.4800).
The Scott Team Issue shoe uses a carbon sole to put the power down and keep the weight low. $199.99 at 19 Sports (3920 N Sundial Court, Canyons Resort, 435.649.1901).

cadence. Review your heart rate, elevation, and location, or download detailed street maps all on a color monitor. $649.99 at Cole Sport (1615 Park Ave, 435.649.4800).
On the trail, having a backup is always a good idea. The Innovations Second Wind is a CO2 inflater and hand pump in one. The hand pump will inflate tires up to 130 psi and is only 7 inches long. It comes with a mount that secures it to a bottle cage, so you won’t have to worry about it flying out of a jersey pocket. $28.99 at Jans (1600 Park Ave, 435.649.4949).
