There’s something about getting out on the trail with no agenda. No strict schedule, no plan beyond soaking in the ride, pushing the rig a little, and enjoying the company of good friends. That’s exactly what we did when we set out on the Compadre Trail, making our way down to San Felipe. It wasn’t a product test, wasn’t a marketing stunt—just a reminder of why we do what we do.
Offroad Bliss on the Baja 1000 Route
The Compadre Trail isn’t just any dusty path—it shares sections with the legendary Baja 1000. That means rugged terrain, wide-open straightaways begging for throttle, and technical sections that demand precision. It’s the kind of run that makes you appreciate having a solid suspension setup. But this time, we weren’t out to break records—we were there to enjoy the ride, kick up some dust, and take in the views.
There’s no better feeling than knowing your shocks are soaking up everything you throw at them. Whoops, washouts, rocky climbs—it’s what we engineer Ride Shocks for. But for a trip like this, the best test wasn’t how fast we could go, but how much fun we could have doing it.
From Dusty Trails to Baja Sunsets
After a long day of driving, there’s nothing better than rolling into San Felipe, covered in dust, pulling up to the beach, and taking in that first cold sip of beer. The Sea of Cortez laid out in front of us, the Baja sun dipping low—it’s the kind of moment that sticks with you. It’s why we do what we do.
We love pushing boundaries, dialing in performance, and making the best suspension on the market. But at the core of it all, we love offroading. Trips like this remind us why we got into it in the first place.
Why We Build What We Build
The best gear comes from people who live and breathe it. At Ride Shocks, we don’t just engineer suspension—we take it out, push it, and then sit back and enjoy the ride. Whether you’re chasing podiums, bombing through the desert, or just out for a weekend run with your crew, we build our suspension so you can push harder, ride longer, and enjoy every second of it.
So, here’s to more dusty trails, cold beers, and Baja sunsets. And if you’re looking for a suspension setup that lets you do it all—well, you know where to find us.
