A better look into the Lenz.

Here's a quick look into the Lenz Sport mountain bikes that we carry here at The Bicycle Studio. Being a triathlete dressed in Lycra and compression socks, I have learned much much more about the rugged sport of Mountain biking and when I get the courage to drop the skinny's, its these bike's that I will be sure to have between my legs. With the Colorado weather turning for the worst (SNOW)  I may have to find that courage a little bit sooner. =)

 Lenz Sport was one of the first Mountain bike companies to offer a 29-inch full-suspension bike to the market. Hand made in the blue sky's of Fort Lupton, Colorado since 1996. These bikes have been hand made by the creator himself Devin Lenz.With the help of design and test riding from the famous Mike Curaik, these bikes were designed and tested for the trails of Colorado. Including the Bohemoth which was specifically designed to tackle the rugged turrain of Western Colorado mountain bike trails. Another interesting fact is that The Bicycle Studio here in Grand Junction, CO  is one of the leading dealer's for Lenz Sport bikes, which sits only about a mile down from the trails in which these bikes were born on at Tabeguache/Lunchloop trail head. The Lunchbox which is a 29er All-Mountain 6 inch travel bike got its name from the Lunchloop trail, something you might not have known.  Here's a quick look into the Leviathan, one of the top bikes Lenz Sport carry's.


The Lenz Leviathan: XC-Endurance Bike:

 29 inch Wheels:
--- A no brainer when compared to a 26'' bike. Why a 29er? Well.... it makes for a more comfortable ride, better rolling resistance and better traction.

Bottom Bracket: 13.5"
--- A higher bottom bracket keeps the ride smooth and bump free from rocks or boulders that could knock the pedals and crank arm.

Chain Stay: 17.75
--- The shorten chain stay makes the bike nimble and is better accustomed to help with manualing, what every Mountain biker should master.

Fork Slack: 69.5(120mm fork)/70.5(100mm fork)
--- This is the angle of the fork, the steeper the angle (72+) the more likely your face will meet the ground (endo).

25.5lbs compete bike:
---A light bike to make for one B.A. climbing machine!!!

4" of travel:
--- Helps with efficiency of climbing and we can all use a little help to get up the hill.

You may hear a few faint critics say that the frame looks cheap, silly, too rigid and bulky. But for those looking to dominate the next trail and aren't worried about how the frame would look sitting on your bike rack I suggest giving Lenz Sport a try.  A perfect setup for a light and fast bike whether its for short course or endurance ride. I challenge you to demo one of these bikes.
