25.01.2022 In just about every conversation I have about the great improvements to mountain bikes, I say every time that a dropper post is the biggest leap forward we’ve made. I love the things and am that guy that scoffs and says Ha! How did we ride with a rigid seat post!. I make a point of getting a feel for every new dropper post I come across and have been really keen to get on a PNW Components post since they arrived at Mountain Bikes Direct. https://www.mtbdirect.com.au/pnw-co...Continue reading

24.01.2022 Sigh, it’s almost winter here in Australia. The days get shorter, the shadows hang around longer but we’re lucky enough that we can still ride in any conditions. Us mountain bikers turn that sometimes dull outlook into a positive and we go ride bikes at night! I’ve done a few reviews on Cleanskin MTB lights and am stoked to say Cleanskin have expanded their range, have a fancy new website and best of all; you can get amazing gear from Cleanskin and have money left in your sav...Continue reading

22.01.2022 Amazing race! Some fantastic images in Vital MTB's slideshow, check it out.

20.01.2022 It’s giveaway time! I’m absolutely loving the STFUbike system I’ve been running for a while on most of my bikes and now you can too! I’ve got a few of the Trail version to giveaway. All you need to do is follow STFUbike and Heavy Metal Mountain Biking on their social channels and tell me in less than 703 words why you need to attach a STFU Bike to one of your bikes. I’ll pick a bunch of winners and reward you handsomely. Big thanks to STFU Bike for getting behind us on this one.

18.01.2022 ION. An atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons is what you’ll find if you search for the meaning of the word ION. In our world though, ION bike is an international brand created in 2004 as a water sports icon. In 2012, they bought their flavour to the world of mountain biking and now boast a huge range of top shelf apparel available to you from Bicycles Online. In the first part of this extensive review, we’re giving you...Continue reading

16.01.2022 Take a half hour out of your day today to watch the Enduro World Series highlights from Italy, the scenery! Follow the Pinkbike link, it's well worth it. ;) https://www.pinkbike.com//video-full-highlights-from-ews-v

15.01.2022 Well, I reckon Amaury Pierron's winning run in Les Gets was up there with one of the most flat out and wildest runs ever put down. Those open sections were totally pinned. Here's the point-of-view winning run, just wow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=87&v=HUyPUVvqPTo

14.01.2022 Hands up anyone who has chucked a Velcro chainstay protector on their bike or even wrapped a busted tube around it to stop your chain beating your frame to pieces. It’s a damn hollow feeling finding all that paint and carbon chipped off your frame from your chain noisily slapping around but thankfully there’s some damn fine goodness from STFUbike available to pamper your ride. You’ve heard of Aussie downhill icon Chris Kovarik, you’ve seen the rad videos of him totally tearin...Continue reading

13.01.2022 Winter isn’t all bad! Sure the days are short and cold but you get to where some new kit each season! One of my favourite apparel lines is Nukeproof available from Chain Reaction Cycles. It hands down beats the big hitters for value, functionality and price. How does the Nukeproof AW range fair in the bearable Australian winter? We’ll tackle this two ways; gear you wear on a ride and gear you wear before and after. First up, I’ve been wearing the Nukeproof Blackline Winter w...Continue reading

13.01.2022 When you’re onto a good thing, you stick with it. We’ve all heard it and it’s pretty accurate. Polygon know it and instead of not changing something, they’ve refined what is already one of the biggest selling dual suspension bikes in Australia from Bicycles Online; the 2020 Polygon Siskiu D7. See it here https://www.bicyclesonline.com.au/2020-polygon-siskiu-d7-dr Lets say I’m looking for the perfect short travel bike capable of XC laps and some intermediate blue trails. My...Continue reading

13.01.2022 Val Di Sole Vital MTB Raw! The big race happens Saturday night.

12.01.2022 Sooo, World Champs this weekend. Who’s your pick?

12.01.2022 Hardline is awesome. So keen for this year's event!

07.01.2022 You don’t come across a lot of folks running a tube nowadays. Tubeless tyre systems in mountain biking are certainly here to stay but it doesn’t entirely eliminate the chance of a flat tyre does it? The early days of tubeless setup were only just okay but I was beating my rims up pretty badly in those days. Now though? Touch wood, I haven’t copped a dented rim for a long time thanks to rim protection. I’ve used a few and have been very satisfied with what I’ve used. There is ...Continue reading

05.01.2022 World Cup is this Saturday!

04.01.2022 Many a bike lands on the shop floor with a pretty darn fancy spec nowadays. Some are priced to sell with good frames and kind of okay components. Whichever mountain bike you plan to buy or currently have underneath you; you can always treat yourself to a cockpit upgrade to sweeten the deal. With so many choices for components though, it can be a lengthy exercise. Shorten that list though and don’t look past DEITY Components, distributed in Australia by Lusty Industries and Di...Continue reading

04.01.2022 A little late but welcome to 2020! We’ve been running some rad gear over summer and have some cool content coming up. Any guesses what trail network is behind me in this photo?

03.01.2022 Permission to speak freely? Yeah? Thanks, Sam Hill is the greatest mountain bike racer ever.

01.01.2022 Andorra World Cup is this Saturday on Red Bull! Before that though, feast your eyes on this!

01.01.2022 The Enduro World Series 2020 calendar.

01.01.2022 I was excited to see this trail in action after Cathro's vision but this? Now this is a cool downhill trail!
