Bentonville has become the blueprint for what a true bike town looks like. From miles of purpose-built trail, a vibrant downtown, and a community that rides as hard as it relaxes.

Sweat, dirt, and long rides go hand in hand. But thanks to our friends at Nikwax, keeping your favorite Club Ride gear clean and odor-free is easier than ever.
