Dirt Magazine has been testing a deity Cryptkeeper for the past months that will be reviewed in their latest issue and to say the frame received "rave reviews" is an understatement!
Here is an excerpt: "I knew this bike was something special as soon as I pumped the first roller. The speed of the thing is insane. It's a winner when you're at the trails breezing through lines you would normally struggle with. If I had to choose one descriptive word for the bike it would be 'Effortless'"...
Pick up the issue at your local newstands soon and thanks to Martin at Hotlines for sending the scan our way!
The Team Voncooper/Yeti jerseys are finished and turned out amazing! With their race bikes scheduled to be built up soon...stay tuned here for updates, pics, and vids on the team!
Here is another beautiful Streetsweeper build from deity customer, Cole Jorissen! It is great to see the love people are putting into their kits and Cole did an incredible job with his latest ride!
Here is the latest edit from Merican Radness of yesterdays ride! Wish we could have been there....
Make sure to visit Steven and the crew at The Bike Hub in Spokane to check out their builds and pick up some deity gear!! They are fully loaded with the line, so get in there, support your IBD, and get some deity metal!
As one of the sponsors of the All Gravity Series, we cannot speak more highly of the quality event(s) Josh at Wheel Sport East puts on and the first race of the season at Beacon Hill is a prime example. With deity represented heavily at the race, the Merican Radness team was there to document the course and once again prove that we have the best Fresh Blood crew in the sport! Not only having consistent quality finishes across the board, Merican Radness made their presence felt and added some more energy to an already insane race!
Congratulations to deity's Tracy Moseley who won the first round of the Fetish 2012 UK Gravity Enduro series in Innerleithen, Scotland! Hit up her site for a full report from the first round! Keep an eye out for Tracy this year as she is set to prove herself to be the most well rounded female rider in MTB history...
The minute we saw Bas and Tom van Steenbergen ride, we could not believe the speed and style they have on a bike and we knew they were a must fit with deity! Proving our point, Harrison Mendel just dropped this insane edit of the bros and if the van Steenbergen talent pool is not enough...watch out for Harrison! Rain, pinned wide open riding, insane berms, and deity...tough to beat that combo! Spread it like a plague and get everyone you know to watch this vid...
The new deity trailer is finished and we are in the process of dialing in the lounge area. You will be seeing the deity trailer at quite a few events this year and trust us, you will not be able to miss it. Stay tuned for more pics...
Alongside the "Fresh Blood Runs Deep" series of interviews, deity's Garrett Thibault will also be heading a series of interviews with some of our Pro riders.

We are excited to introduce the "Fresh Blood Runs Deep" series of interviews that will spotlight 6 of our new deity Fresh Blood riders.

First up, is New Zealand trailboss Phil McLean who brings his timeless style and big set ability to a company that embodies his riding. Also part of the deity Fresh Blood crew, we thank Garrett for leading this project and shining light on our talent of tomorrow...
A staple of the California trail scene and a rider with impeccable style, Guy French is the latest addition to the elite roster of deity pros! On board our handlebars, stems, seats, posts, pedals, and more...Guy is not afraid of using a shovel, putting his time at the trails, and is a welcome addition to the crew. (thanks to Jackson from Sasquatch Canyon for the shot)
