The hub for marathon mountain biking

MarathonMTB.com Team

At MarathonMTB.com, sponsoring a mountain bike team is part of what we have done since inception. It’s imperative that we bring stories and results from the inside of bike races, not the sidelines. Our riders are highly experienced in their respective disciplines, and entertaining writers as well as being media savvy ambassadors. Our riders race on Factor Lando XC mountain bikes. We custom build them with support from Shimano, Maxxis, Black Inc and Ride Mechanic.

We now use off the shelf bike clothing from Attaquer, mostly from their All Day range. We are also kitted out with Swiftwick socks and Lazer Helmets.

Our racers compete in a wide variety of bike events and pursuits. From local events to national championship events in XCO, marathon and gravel. Our riders also undertake a variety of challenge events and discover regions on bikepacking adventures.

For any sponsorship or team attendance enquiries, please email [email protected]

We’re proud to be supported by:

Having retired from professional road racing at the end of 2014, Justin Morris rejoined the MarathonMTB.com Team in 2016 to pedal in anger again. As a founding team member in 2011, Justin has returned to the sport where, as a teenager, his cycling career began. 2016 had a rough start for Morris with a broken pelvis and ribs, but finished strongly with podiums in XCM events and an overall win plus many stage victories at the Simpson Desert Bike Race. Justin’s focus has turned to coaching, investing his time and energy to help a range of athletes achieve their best. Still a ferocious competitor at heart, Justin aims to tackle select major events each year, to motivate his athletes and also to achieve personal goals.
