You’re looking at one of the best XC bikes out there. Spearfish C DLX X0 Transmission features our extra-light carbon fiber layup for less weight but all of the ride quality. Its geometry balances efficiency for covering serious ground in an endurance event and capability for when the trail turns technical.

There are lots of ways to measure a race...

Fastest course.
Biggest climbs.
Most racers.

But this award means something different.
It's voted on by the people who matter most—you, the riders.

We're incredibly proud that the Tioga Thrillseeker was selected as the Minnesota Mountain Bike Series Favorite Race in 2023 and again in 2025.

That recognition belongs to every racer who pinned on a number plate, every volunteer who spent countless hours making race day happen, every sponsor who believed in us, and every trail builder who helps make Tioga one of the best places to ride in Minnesota.

Now it's time to do it again.

🚵 Join us Sunday, August 16, 2026 for another incredible day of racing at the Tioga Recreation Area.

Thank you for making Tioga one of Minnesota's favorite races. Let's make 2026 another one to remember.

*Cadets = 6-8yrs old
