Epitome of the breed

REI Co-Op Cycle ADV 4.2. Aluminum framed mountain bike with swept-back, upright-position flat handlebars, 27.5-inch wheels with 2.8-inch tires, disc brakes, shockabsorbing seat post — and lots of mounts for cargo bags. Why we like it: Burly machine that’ll survive anything and carry everything. Info: $1,999, rei.com/b/co-op-cycles
