TriRig is incredibly proud to have world-class athletes like Ben Hoffman eager to ride our products. Ben Hoffman has had his eye on the Omega brakes for a while, and last week we had the chance to set him up on our new Omega X platform. Check out the video above to see what he has to say about his 2015 season, as well as a detailed look at his 2015 Specialized Shiv race rig. Lots more pictures and info in the gallery below. Enjoy!
