Moonshiner
Description
MOONSHINER 2.0 PRESALES LIVE AT SELECT DEALERS.
What is a Moonshiner? A rowdy sniggle shred sled? A diggle whip designed to dominate rocky roads? A ride-camp-ride mule-foot machine? Yes.
To “Tanglefoot” is to release preconceptions and let your spirit merge with the universe’s vibrations. Transcend boundaries, bask in the moon’s benevolent glow as your reflection waivers like a partially complete teleportation . Embrace the frosty allure of a winter pond: conquering daring feats on a rigid drop-bar bike. Let naysayers obdurate. Defy their doubts.
The Moonshiner isn’t just a bike; it’s a living embodiment of a timeless ethos, etched into the fabric of the New England landscape. No room for compromises, no tolerance for Bullshit. It chuckles at dings and scoffs at crashes: mettle unyielding. Categories can’t confine the Moonshiner, though it scarcely bristles at being tagged an ATB (All Terrain Bike). It reigns over the Green Mountains, mastering global challenges with aplomb. From the past, present, to what’s yet to unfold, the Moonshiner doesn’t predict the future; it fashions it, devouring the past for inspiration. Low standover paired with a lofty bottom bracket, so pedals keep churning even through the gnarliest terra. You don’t ride the Moonshiner—you surrender to the voyage.
As Geordi La Forge affirmed in Reading Rainbow, “you don’t have to take my word for it.” Esteemed explorer of rocks, roots, and remote odysseys, Joe Cruz, delved into the Moonshiner’s tale for Bikepacking.com. Read more here.
