DVO Suspension Founder, Bryson Martin

I had known of Bryson Martin for a long time. I knew he was a long-time mountain bike industry heavy-weight, involved in Marzocchi throughout the years, eventually creating DVO Suspension in 2012. It wasn't until December of 2016 that I first had the chance to sit down and get to know his story and background. Bryson is the reason Marzocchi considered entering the mountain bike market. He's the man behind the infamous Bomber suspension products of freeriding's glory days, including the Monster T and Shiver, and he's a well-educated and calculated business man who thinks about the big picture and future of our sport. More importantly, however, he doesn't hesitate to have plenty of fun with his dedicated crew at DVO while pushing the business forward. I hope you enjoy the interview with Bryson that took place this past December, as he and I, joined by Vital's Product Editor, Brandon Turman, talk about mountain biking's past, present and future. -spomer
