Race Face Spreads the Love, Realigns UFC/UXC Schedules
- Alternating Schedules for Ultimate Freeride Challenge and Ultimate XC Challenge allow Freeriders and Singletrack Junkies to Share the Spotlight -
BC, Canada (October 26, 2005) – In an effort to restore balance to the mountain biking universe, Race Face Performance Products will alternate hosting their popular Ultimate Freeride Challenge and Ultimate XC Challenge online peer-judged competitions every other year starting in 2006.
Based on the success of its inaugural Ultimate XC Challenge, Race Face will host the UXC again in 2006, giving the next crop of Freeride stars time to mature until they hold the UFC V in 2007.
The Ultimate Freeride Challenge was first announced in 2001, a time when Freeriding was just creeping on to mountain bike culture’s radar screens. Over the past four years, the online, peer judged competition has served as a platform from which professional Freeride careers were launched. Tyler Klassen, Matt Hunter, Wayne Goss, Cam McCaul and Carlin Dunne are all beneficiaries of the UFC franchise.
Now, the team at Race Face thinks it’s time to share the love, pay tribute to mountain biking’s roots and give the XC riders something to cheer about. So, for 2006, Race Face will be concentrating its efforts on making the second Ultimate XC Challenge an even greater success than it was last year.
And, while the UFC will be on hiatus this year, freeriders needn’t worry; the UFC will return bigger and better than ever in 2007.
Keep an eye out for information on entering the UXC this spring and the UFC next fall at Raceface.com.

- If you missed Race Face's New Product at Interbike, see it now at RaceFace.com -
BC, Canada (November 1, 2005) - The latest and greatest in components and apparel from Race Face Performance Products is now online at Raceface.com, including the new Diabolus Chainguide, new cross country seatposts and carbon fiber handlebars, and the new Cadence Road Cranks - the first offering from Race Face's forthcoming road line. Also online is Race Face's new Fall/Winter '05 line - which is in stores now.
The Diabolus Chainguide, an Interbike favorite, brings compatibility and ease of installation to a whole new level, while still maintaining the durability and performance Race Face is famous for. Featuring 50 degrees of articulation, the Diabolus Chainguide is compatible with a wide range of frame and suspension designs, while advanced materials used in both the upper and the lower guides offer unsurpassed impact strength and wear resistance. The impressively lightweight Diabolus chainguide also comes fully assembled and includes a newly designed Race Face aluminum bashguard. Suggested retail pricing is equally impressive at $115 for the complete set.
The newly introduced Next SL carbon handlebars are also online, including the astonishingly light 99 gram Next SL carbon flat bar. These new carbon bars are manufactured with a leading edge composite material, which allows Race Face to achieve amazing strength at an impressively low weight. For the value minded rider, Race Face's Next XC carbon bars, which share many of the SL line's performance enhancing features, are also new and showcased online.
Rounding out Race Face's new 2006 mountain bike product offerings is their new line of cross country seatposts, featuring an innovative light weight head design which delivers infinite tilt adjustment independent from fore/aft adjustment and distributes loads more efficiently than conventional designs. The new head is featured on Race Face's Next SL Carbon post, the lightweight aluminum Deus post and the value oriented Evolve XC post. Retail pricing is $115, $58, $36 respectively.
But the biggest buzz around the Race Face tradeshow booth surrounded the new Cadence Road Crank. Signalling Race Face's first official foray into the road market, the Cadence Crank is a product of well over a decade of experience designing high-performance cranksets, refined specifically for road riding. Using Race Face's proven X-Type external bottom bracket interface and incorporating some of Race Face's signature performance enhancing features, the Cadence crank is available in compact and standard sizes and will retail for $175.
