This Earth Day, we’re proud to announce a new chapter in our mission to protect the places we ride. In partnership with Schwalbe, we’re launching a closed-loop recycling program that transforms old tubes into new ones, reducing waste and riding toward a more sustainable future. Because wild places deserve better, and so does the gear we use to explore them.

This isn’t just a race; it’s survival on two wheels. And this year, Keegan Swenson isn’t going it alone. He’s teaming up with none other than three-time Cape Epic champion Matt Beers to take on the beast together.

At 67 years old, most people are eyeing their retirement plans or reminiscing about adventures of the past. Not Jack Smith. In 2024, Jack embarked on his ninth journey across America—but this time, he decided to attempt it solo. Armed with the Scambler e-bike by Vintage Electric Bikes and equipped with Tannus tire inserts, Jack’s adventure was as much a tribute to history as it was a testament to the human spirit.
