Twenty tears later the face of mountain bike adventure has changed; today it’s 150mm of suspension and hacking down singletrack that few have rolled before, the air around us thick with endorphins. Today, adventure mountain biking has never been healthier and more rewarding and we have the tech heads and the boffins to thanks — thanks geeks! As riders we have the passion for adventure, but it’s the geeks that have empowered it. Without them, their ideas and their R&D developments we’d still be riding cantilever brakes and friction thumbshifters. The geeks have empowered us with truly versatile bikes that can ride anything, anywhere.
