who rides/races MTB's and what do you ride??

title about sums it up post you MTB and who races and what do you race?
XC DH FR 4X ENDRO :?

No photos of it for some reason, but I ride a pretty stock Scott Genius 40. Absolutely awesome bike. Hooks into descents like a pure demon, but climbs really well. The Equalizer shock with its traction control mode is rad, and gets me up a heap of shit that I would be walking otherwise. Needs a set of tubeless wheels, and I’d like to switch it over to an XT drivetrain and brakes at some point, but it ain’t a priority at the moment and will probably never happen.

I may be selling it shortly and replacing it with a Santa Cruz Blur LT hopefully. See how the wallet looks!

For XC / 24 hour team racing / Enduro races + trail rides

For DH Racing/ Fun

XC and Enduro, only really just starting to take it serious though. Currently riding one of these but in the other colour scheme.

Its a bit heavy, but its a good fun trail bike as well, so until I’m allowed to buy another bike (Not within a year of my last bike - November 2009), its my fun mtb and my race mtb. Managed 6hr races + 50km races on it just fine, and will hopefully be doing the Epic on it later in the year.

2009 Giant Reign X1

Elite Mens XC
Bike - Giant XTC Advanced SL Custom Spec

My mtb’s currently are,
09 Norco Atomik. Old picture though, now has X-9 shifter and derailleur, SLX cranks, Mtx33’s on Dice Hoodoo for wheels, a FSA seat, 2010 protaper DH’s.

Bent my lowers and potato chiped my front Mtx wheel over the weekend.

And a STP shits and giggles bike, which i’m thinking about chucking another frame i’ve got on so its a 1x9 Trail rig. Also an old pic, matching rear wheel now on.

And I race the DH in the Vic series. :slight_smile:

In keeping with the interests of the forum I present my Surly SS, its pretty old now and seen a lot of use over the years but I bet this frame will last a lifetime. I used to race a little bit of XC and marathon type stuff but not for a year or so.

I ride an Avanti Competitor hard tail, use it for cross county, marathon and endurance events. I am looking to add a single speed mtb to the stable at some stage soon though, quite possibly a surly 1x1. If things go to plan i will be hitting the Merida 24 in july on a single speed. that will be interesting

Voodoo D-Jab(fucking voodoo and their dumb names!), XT, Thomson, Hope, etc…

Mainly used for fun rides on the Yarra trails.

My bike when it was brand new. Now has a thomson setback post which is cut much shorter, and a shadow bmx seat. I don’t ride DH often enough to justify having it, but I couldn’t sell it for enough money to justify getting rid of it. I would really like a 4-5 inch XC dually instead, but I’d have to get around to selling this first. Great fun to ride though.

Fuckit. I’ll add a pic later when my 3 'broad’band isn’t being a distinguished gentleman.

Good old single speed. No fuss, no bullshit. It doesn’t get ridden as often as I would like, but there are a few adventures to be had out there.

Planning on doing a few enduros this year, and a 100k race or two if I can ever get an entry.

There is some awesome bikes on here! I ride a Yeti ASX

Here it is


This isn’t my bike, so i have different wheels, bars and seat post and some bits a pieces.
