Bike Magazine’s Gear Editor Ryan Palmer says “we selected Northwest Arkansas because the region’s efforts on becoming one of the country’s premier mountain bike destinations are mind-boggling. What’s happening in Northwest Arkansas simply cannot be ignored.” An army of Bike Magaine writers, editors and photographers tested the most promising new mountain bike models and gear on trails in Bella Vista, Bentonville, Eureka Springs, Fayetteville and Rogers in Fall 2016.
