Bikes We Ride - Dakota Chapman's Revel Ritual

Dakota is a ripper of the highest order. From lift serve to epic trail rides, skateparts and jump lines, slopestyle and street style - the guy does it all with style and a grin. 

If you've followed industry news, you know Revel Bikes had some challenges this year. But after a come from behind victory and a return to original ownership, the bumps they hit are looking more like a pump track. With a reinvigorated team and just a slight delay, Dakota's new whip showed up this month in time to build it out with all the sweet pits for some incredible summer shredding.
