This time on Budget vs. Baller Henry and Jason dive into the world of contact points.

When nothing else matters but the after-school skate park sessions or cleaning up the jumps with your buddies, time moves at a different pace.

Head into the Jenson USA blog to check out the video and to shop Fasthouse's lineup of bike apparel for kids and adults.

When it comes to wheels and tires there are so many options of what to buy that it can be quickly overwhelming. Do you need carbon hoops with hubs that engage in an instant or will regular old alloy do just fine? Do tires actually matter? After all, they are just rubber, right? Well, today we're going to find out as Jason pits his $2200 set up against Henry's $450 set up.

Carbon wheels or alloy? Electronic drivetrains or cable-actuated? We're here to answer these questions and more in our brand new series: Budget vs. Baller.

Orbea set the bar for lightweight eBikes that carried the feel and performance of their analog siblings with the introduction of the carbon framed Rise eBike models based off their Occam trail bike. Now, they've done it again by introducing an alloy version of the Rise eMTB that takes all that Orbea learned from the carbon version and packages it in an aluminum frame that allows them to bring much of the same performance and weight, but at a significantly cheaper price. The changes and updates don't stop at the new alloy frame. Head into our blog article to watch our First Look video and to read about all the intricate details that make the new Orbea Rise H eBike models so tempting.
