Check Out the Taylor Sage Interview...

The guys at Pink Bike recently did a "Through The Lens" interview with deity's T Sage where he discusses Sagerian Media and the multiple projects he is working on.

One day, you will see a deity/Sage shirt as we have had an amazing idea pending for sometime.  Hit up the link below and read up on someone who does not hesitate to speak his mind. Refreshing.

Cierra Smith Continues to Dominate!

The season for deity's Cierra Smith has been of pure dominance. Currently ranked first in DH CAT1 womans for her age category, she has been incredibly fast!  Here is an update directly from Wil...

"Deity was well represented for the National Championships and Cierra's parts were flawless.. Cierra had a great time and really killed the course. Cierra had not crashed all weekend but on her race run, she past the girl in front of her, then crashed, then passed her again taking home the gold medal and her 5th National Championships jersey by 29 seconds.

Cierra is currently the #1 ranked DH Cat 1 woman in the country from age 1-25 and 3rd in all ages..."

Amazing job Cierra and make sure to check out the vid from the Championships that deity's T Sage put together for the AllRide team and get a glimpse into Cierra's riding!

Vid of Logan Peat's 3rd Place Run!

For anyone that missed the live broadcast, we have posted up a vid of Logan Peat's final run at the Claymore Challenge...so impressive. A side note, you will notice how the broadcasters misspelled "deity" in the intro. Does it baffle you how some people cannot spell our name, know what it means, or even how to pronounce it? It does to us...

Logan Peat Gets 3rd Place At Claymore!!

Congratulations go out to deity's Logan Peat who got 3rd at the Claymore Challenge against a stacked field of competition that also included deity's Cameron Zink, Cob, and Adam Hauck. Since the first day we saw Logan ride, we were in awe of how how smooth he is, but since moving to BC...his riding has elevated to another level and his skill on massive slopestyle courses must be seen in person. Keep an eye out for Logan as he puts the top slopestyle pros in a sweat and congratulations Logan on kicking everyone's ass.

deity Cryptkeeper Proto Bike Check...

We have had a lot of inquiries about our personal bikes at the deity compound, so throughout the weeks, we will be covering all of the builds we run...from our dirt jump bikes, to our DH kits, and even the All MTN bikes.

First we will start off with my personal Dirt Jump bike. This is one of 4 prototypes of the upcoming deity Cryptkeeper frame custom powdercoated in our superlight blue 656C to match our limited edition run of parts. We had shown this build at Sea Otter, but when it got back to the compound, I adopted it. We are currently making the final drafts of both our dirt jump frame, the Cryptkeeper, and our street frame, the Streetsweeper, in a variety of colors to choose what will make the final cut. Of course, you guys will get a glimpse before anyone else, so stay tuned as the frames will see some slight changes after testing them for over a year.

The New deity Saddle Line is Available!

The new line of deity saddles are finally available alongside the rest of the full range of deity gear. Consisting of the slim and race ready Vertigo DH, the slim and compact Vertigo DJ, and the super sticky Emblem DJ Saddle, the new line is a huge improvement from our old saddle designs. No, we do not make our seats at Velo like 99% of every other company and after making three different molds for the DJ line...we are still planning to release two other DJ designs next year. 

With the Vertigo line available in white with black embossed art, green with black embossed art, gray with black embossed art, and black with black embossed art, you now have options to add some style to your bike. 

The new Vertigo DH seats are minimalistic in design as the last thing you need for DH racing is a bulky saddle that is in the way or adding unnecessary weight. Featuring 8mm hollow rails (instead of 7mm), the line is the epitome of sleek with the strength added in key critical areas.

The DJ line has seen a massive evolution from the old huge seats we used to make. Now, those old designs have been put to rest and we are moving forward with a line that is super slim, compact, strong, and lightweight. Available in two formats, the Vertigo DJ and the Emblem DJ...you have been asking for us to make a super slim saddle and we have listened.

If you are looking for a seat that is out of the way, incredibly thin, but still allows you the ability to pinch with your knees...check out the Emblem DJ which features our rubberized R-Compound cover material that is unbeatable for pinching and extremely durable under impact.

Hit us up if you have any questions about the designs and make sure to check out the rest of the new line up!
