READER'S RIDE: SANTA CRUZ HIGHTOWER LT
Santa Cruz holds status as being one of the most reputable bike companies to produce some of the best-performing mountain bikes available. Designed around the VPP linkage system, the 150mm travel beast recently got a boost in travel from its smaller 135mm standard sibling.
HUNT DISCUSSIONS: IS XC DEAD?
After a long wait since the first World XC round, the classic Albstadt did not disappoint last weekend. But the promise of a more technical Nove Mesto got us thinking…
READER'S RAMBLE: SOUTH DOWNS WAY
The South Downs Way holds an almost legendary status for any die-hard, all-day, cross-country rider. And rightly so – it is, in the most literal sense, a ride across the country that jaunts through Hampshire, West Sussex and East Sussex. Stretching a grand total of 100miles from Winchester in the west to Eastbourne in the east, it is an all-day epic MTB ride.
THE CASSETTE #17: ANG'S XC MIX
This week’s Cassette has is the first ever inclusion from a Hunt team member’s parent: Hamish’s mum. Since this week is all about XC, we thought we’d reach out to Ang to spin us a few tracks that she puts on for an XC MTB ride.
READER'S RIDE: PACE RC129
This week's Readers Ride is our first ever MTB feature! With this, we thought it would be great to show you a bike which belongs to Hunt. That’s right – it’s our communal MTB used by all of us here when in need.
THE CASSETTE: DAN'S SEGGY MIX
We called upon in-house MTB film connaisseur Dan Clark to list his five favorite songs from riding films. We can almost guarantee that if you recognize these songs from their film, you will want to go out for a ride!
ON THE DROPS INTERVIEW: Hamish Paine
We haven’t seen much of Hamish over the past two years… mostly due to him being located down under in Wollongong, Australia.
Having worked in a bicycle store since he was 14 after lying about his age to get a start on the wrenches, Hamish now handles media enquiries with us at Hunt, pieces together our weekly Hunt Journal and is the creator of our On The Drops Interviews.
