OK, it was out yesterday to be precise… but it’s still full of great stuff.

MBUK 275 is in the shops now! But what’s inside it, we hear you cry?

Well, for a start, there’s a six-bike test of long-travel hardtails. Their geometry is ideal for the UK, but which should you buy if you’ve got up to £1,500 to spend? Find out in the test!

If techniques are what you’re after, then you won’t want to miss Ric’s Trail Bike Trials feature – with the help of Chris Smith he looks at how the often-overlooked discipline of trials can do wonders for your overall riding.

Plus Doddy teaches you Real Skills For Real Hills and how to overcome all the natural obstacles you’ll find when riding natural terrain.

Stunning shots from Whitestyle

There’s a host of stunning images from this year’s Whitestyle, with exclusive behind-the-scences stories from course builder Grant ‘Chopper’ Fielder and winner Sam Reynolds.

Mr Reynolds also tells us all about his recent trip to Indonesia with Polygon Bikes, where he rode the slopes of a volcano!

We also go on a Big Ride to Swinley Forest, and the Wrecking Crew visits Wharncliffe Woods – stomping ground of Steve Peat and Will Longden.

1998 GT Lobo vs 2012 GT Fury

We put old against new with two carbon fibre kings of the the past and present – the latest GT Fury goes head to head with a 1998 GT Lobo.

All this, and you get a free chainstay protector and four free pull-out route maps!
