Going to Extremes
Tramping In Torridon
Joe Delves packs friends, bikes, camping gear and a dog and seeks a low cost getaway in Torridon, where the trails are good enough to be worth the effort getting there.
Tour de France The Fun Way
While the roadies are pedalling up these classic TdF climbs, enduro rider Jerome Clementz is whooping his way back down them, taking the rocky switchbacks and forest trails.
Classic Ride: Helvellyn
Which way should you go up this Lakeland must-do? And which way should you come down? There’s much debate to be had about the best routes on Helvellyn, but everyone agrees you have to ride one of them at least once. James Vincent takes us on his pick of the options.
Staying Professional
Geoff Waugh talks to Scott Beaumont about getting – and keeping – sponsors. Behind the Insta-bangers and high fives, it’s more businesslike than you might think.
Bike Test: British 29ers
British manufacturing ain’t dead. We test out three full suspension 29ers from Orange, Robot Bike Co. and Swarf that showcase the range of modern manufacturing skills and processes currently happening in the UK.
Interview: Dan Stanton
Ian Bailey talks philosophy and company ethos and ‘a different kind of capitalism’ with the man behind Stanton bikes.
Plus, in our Premier Edition, only available to Subscribers, from our shop, or from our Premier Dealers, you’ll find the following bonus content:
Malvern Magic
Chipps dons his tie-dye T-shirt and Oakley Mumbos and reminisces about the original Malvern Hills Classic ahead of the new version of it, returning to our fields this year.
The First Trail Centre
Chipps tells the story of the UK’s oldest trail centre: Coed Y Brenin, where the first trails still offer great riding, with the bonus of being away from the crowds.
Hutchinson Tyres
James Vincent goes on a whirlwind tour of the French home of Hutchinson tyres. It’s not quite the smoky black inferno you might have imagined.
Last Word
Mike Braybrook rails against the lazy line choices that modern trail bikes encourage us to take.
All of that can be delivered to your door – all you need to do is subscribe.

‘Chipps dons his tie-dye T-shirt and Oakley Mumbos’
Surely that should be a Rox T-shirt and what about the Bula hat? 🙂
That cover looks fab.
That body style of Land Rover ambulance is my 2nd favorite (beaten only by the 101). Would love one for a camper conversion, but 99% of the time a van is more practical for everyday use in Western Europe.
