Potter wins, Johnston claims the lead at Port to Port

Related Event: Port to Port MTB

Stage 3 of the Port to Port MTB Race is known for a hard but fun course. And with an update to the start it meant we would be racing sooner and not in a neutral escort on the road for as long. And with everything on the line for the open men’s race and […]

Stage two of Port to Port was an all-new route for 2018, bringing new trails, a new start and finish and a whole lot of guesswork to how it would play out once the gun fired, especially considering how close the men’s GC is after Stage 1. With the race starting at the Sugar Valley […]

LEItA Alice Springs MarathonMTB

The first stage of Lasseters Easter in the Alice doubles as the opening rounds of the Australian XCM Series – so not only does the 75km race decide who takes the LEITA leader’s jersey into stage 2 tomorrow, it also denotes who leads the XCM Series ahead of the 2nd round – which is also […]

5 things I have learnt from riding with Shimano Di2

MarathonMTB Norco Revolver Justin Morris Mongolia Bike Challenge

There is no doubt electronic shifting has been one of the ground breaking innovations in the mountain bike industry over the past decade.

The rugged environment we get to ride our bicycles through creates so many challenges and many rewards, but also wears out many of the moving parts of our bikes if we don’t properly […]

A season on Shimano XTR Di2

Norco Revolver Shimano XTR Di2 build marathonMTB Imogen Smith

Favour fell to parts from Shimano due in part to their parts availability when away from home, especially in Europe. Personally, I’ve aimed to […]
