We are all in for big wheels! After a successful debut in the 29” full suspension bikes category, with the 130mm travel trail bike, we have expanded the 29-ers family with long travel enduro rigs: Snabb 150 Plus! Sławek Łukasik, downhill racer of the NS Bikes Factory Racing team, is spending this winter in New Zealand. Flow, sunshine, beautiful landscapes, stunning nature. Could you ask for a better place to test the new bike? Sławek is also a backer of 29” bikes and we will probably see him ride the big wheel a lot this season. NS Bikes Snabb 150…

Michal Prokop loves bicycles of all kinds. He got all the fourcross titles available, and then he got them all again. He made it up to the BMX Olympics in Beijing. He led the Czech national squad at the Track Team Sprint Worlds back then too. Even being aged over thirty, he grabbed wide bars of his enduro bike, and he’s doing well again. In 2017 Prokop premiered Blinduro, the mtb enduro event according to his own concept. Two days of blind riding for riders of all skills. The race was sold out in a few hours and went so…
Once again the FMB World Tour season started in front of the backdrop of Leogang’s ‘Steinberge’ with the only mountain bike slopestyle contest on snow: White Style. Training and qualification were held in perfect bluebird condition, but during the final runs fog moved in. As a result of decreasing visibility, the event eventually had to be canceled after the quarterfinals. Bienvenido Alba White Style, now in its 13th edition, once again attracted a field of 20 elite slopestyle riders from 6 nations. For the first time in White Style history, the 16 athletes who made it through qualification had to…
Max Fredriksson is one of the top slopestyle athletes on the FMB World Tour.

Having recovered from the broken collarbone sustained at Crankworx Whistler, Max was determined to make up for time not spent on two wheels and headed to Järvsö Bike Park with his childhood friend Andreas just in time for closing weekend. The result is PowerPlace. Max Fredriksson: Me and…
Endurama SunRace, is an experience born from the idea of offering a winter break to many Europeans while snow, winter or many other inconvenient stop them from riding their bikes.

Many sporting professions boast having certain talents that reach the pinnacle of their game at an early age, winning titles and progressing the sport they have so much passion for. Even though many Slopestyle athletes are pretty young in most cases, this year’s World Champion raised the bar even higher, or should we say lowered it age wise. After only one year on the FMB World Tour, Emil Johansson rode the best most consistent season by an 18-year-old the sport has ever seen. Even though the young Swede wasn’t able to win an FMB Diamond Event, a feat which he…

Fa(s)t and furious tires (room for even fatter ones), carbon fork, one-by drivetrain, disc brakes, mudguards mounts, aggressive geo is all you need to shred the hell out of b-roads, gravels and even some smoother, muddy trails. There are a few small tweaks comparing to last year version. We have put even wider Panaracer tires (43C instead of 40C). The saddle has been replaced with a more comfortable yet light weight model from Octane One. There has also been a change up front – the carbon fork now features mudguard eyelets and a flat mount disc brake standard. The cable…
The Eccentrics – our true new school MTB hardtails. Once a single bike, now an entire, growing family of different models, designs, specs and unique looks. In 2018 we’re launching a new sub-line of the range – the Eccentric Lite. You could think that their name refers to the bikes’ weight. And it is true, they are significantly lighter, but it’s really more about the application of these bikes. The Lites are our new entrance into the world of fast and aggressive trail riding or what others may call progressive cross country. Yes, we know that the words “cross country”…
