Tangent is teaming up with Maris Strombergs and the #81 bike for the remainder of the 2017 race season. "We couldn’t be more stoked to make this official! Maris has been running our bars for as long as can be remembered but now we’ve outfitted him with our full accessory line including the Ventril3D Number Plate, FlatIron Bars, Split Stem, Remix Saddle, Halo Sprocket, and our QR Clamp and Post. The rest of the year just got a little more exciting.."

Welcome to the Cartel Maris, thinking this would make him kind of like a “Boss”!
