The latest in electronic wireless componentry from SRAM.

No cable, housing or wires: that’s just one benefit of SRAM MTB's Eagle AXS. The new AXS groupo has all the features of SRAM’s 12-speed Eagle line coupled with predictable electronic, wireless shifting. The connected, wireless derailleur is operated by the AXS Controller, which is customizable via SRAM’s AXS app.

SRAM has also launched the wireless RockShox Reverb AXS electronic dropper. It’s actuated with the touch of a button, and because there are no cables to deal with, it’s easy to install, remove and maintain.

Long travel, all mountain goodness.

The 2019 Scott Ransom is truly designed to do it all. This 170mm travel 29er weighs in under 30 pounds! It's progressive geometry allows it to climb like an XC bike and descends like a park bike, with suspension adjustments controlled by a 3-position lever right from the handlebars. It’s perfect for long, legit climbs with demanding downhills, but versatile enough to ride anywhere.

The Path Bike Shop buyer Brian Blair took a trip to the Swiss Alps last summer to ride the Scott Ransom in its native habitat...stop by the shop and ask him all about it! And we’ve got several in stock, so you can check one out in person.

It's a classic Santa Cruz hardtail.

The 2019 Santa Cruz Chameleon is up for any kind of riding - dirt or asphalt, mountain or urban, geared or singlespeed - the choice is yours. Wheels have been upsized to either 29-inch or 27.5+ wheels, the wheel change is accomplished via interchangeable dropouts. Geeared options use 148mm 'Boost' spacing while the single speed options use 142 spacing to accommodate dedicated singlespeed hubs.

Muc-Off No Puncture Hassle Tubeless Sealant, 4.7oz package - MSRP is $12.99, our price is $9.99. The cutting-edge microfiber molecules fill the bigger holes and tears, whilst the advanced latex forms a strong seal instantly.

No Puncture Hassle works from 15psi-120psi and temperatures from -20°C to +50°C. The pouch is designed to fit a Presta valve perfectly.

Peaty's Tubeless Sealant, 4.05oz package - MSRP is $10.64. Pro rider Steve Peaty may have retired from the world cup circuit at the end of 2016, but he's still working to push the limits of the MTB world. This tubeless tire sealant has a non-hazardous, non-toxic and completely biodegradable formula that's easy to clean & won't dry out or ball up in your tire. The trail pouch has been designed to get you started with enough sealant to do two 27.5" wheels, and to be the perfect emergency refill when out on the trails or at the races. Pouches are refillable too!
