Direct from the Fontana Winter Race Series, the Sette Vexx and the Venom!

As you probably have noticed, we are fond of re-posting news from the guys over at Sette. We love their bikes and sales of them at Price Point have been phenomenal. Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Here's a story that SetteUSA.com just posted and we thought we would share it with you. It seems their friends at MTNBikeRiders.com (and we second the statement of what a great forum they have) forwarded these pictures to Sette from a race that they participated in last weekend. They were putting their Sette Vexx and Venom bikes to the test and it looks like they had a lot of fun doing it. Congratulations go out to Wes for placing 2nd on his Vexx. And to RL, who is freshly back on the Venom after having cracked some ribs a few months ago and still managed to place 6th in his class, we're just glad to see you out on the bike again!

Our Friends over at Sette Are Extremely Excited To Announce That Pro Freereider Aaron Hodgkin Is Now Riding the Vexx!


Aaron was a prodigy/wunderkind of freeriding, making a name for himself while still in his late teens. Some of his claims to fame are being the first to be filmed doing a backflip on a DH bike and being on the first cover of Decline magazine. He also did numerous shoots for a number of other mountain biking magazines, was the poster child for Marzocchi shocks for a couple of years, and was featured in both the Highways and Super Heroes series of extreme mountain biking videos. He also made a few attempts at the world record bike jump distance while being towed behind a dirt bike. After a few years off the bike, he's back to his first love and ready to throw down some new tricks. Here are some early sessions of his return as he warms up to pushing the envelope of what's possible. His specialty is going big, REAL BIG! But in the meantime, hopefully these images of doing mere 30 foot gaps will keep you amused... more to come. And we here at Sette can't wait. Go Aaron!"

Road Magazine Reviews the Sette Primo




Fresh news sent from our friends at Sette USA:


The Sette Primo Road bike was just reviewed by the very prestigious Road Magazine. They can be very discerning when it comes to testing out bikes and often cover only the most legendary of brands. Sette is thrilled to be in such company. Road had a lot of great things to say about the Primo, but here are a few of our favorite quotes:









Primo Review

“While the Primo does well on the straight and flat roads, and climbs decent, the real fun begins when you descend… it tracks pretty well and responds quickly to any nudge of the bar.”


“…A pretty phenomenal specification to boot. Ultegra SL wraps the bike along with FSA, Pro Logo and Sette’s own Avanti bar and tape… the Avanti bar has a nice ergonomic feel to it and the bar tape is some of the best I have used!”


“With regard to the frameset, without question, I am certain you won’t get a better ride quality for the price.”
