UK Gravity Enduro Round 1 Ae Forest 13th April 2014 9 team members, 2 podiums , 5 great stages, 6 beer can chickens, 2 Weber barbeques and 4 WAGs. Those were the magic numbers for the opening round of the 2014 UK Gravity Enduro Series, Ae Forest, Scotland. Alex Stock getting 2nd Place in Elite for Twelve50 Bikes A trip north of the border so early in the year left unsettled nerves as to what the weather gods might smite us with. The fears were unfounded though as, with the exception of a couple of showers and some strong winds (that helped to dry the wet ground), conditions were near ideal. In fact, looking at some of the early photos that are emerging, those that didn’t attend would be forgiven for thinking we had a weekend of sun and blue skies! The winds did cause some havoc across the pits on Saturday with more than one gazebo getting airborne, landing in a crumpled heap of plastic and metal. The Billy Can seemed to have it worst than most with double flying gazebos an...

Sunday the 16th of March saw the official 2014 launch of the Twelve50 Bikes Race Team at Foel Gasnach, North Wales. Excited? You should be. The roster this year looks something like this; Alex Stock (Elite) David Read (Masters) Rick Minshull (Masters) Matt Steadmen (Masters) Cheri Mills (Elite) Nicole Mallet (Women) Russell Cosh (Veteran) Josh Dodd (Senior) Ross Adams (Veteran) Des Ryan (Head Chef) There’s more racing pedigree in that line up than a copy of the Racing Post on Grand National weekend. With glorious sunshine threatening dust in mid March (!), we’d not had riding this good for months. Kitted out with fresh gear from Renthal, Osprey, Mavic, Power Bar, Fox Head, Maxxis and Weber Barbecues we've not had support this good for years! New bikes have been built, tuned and tested. Existing bikes have been stripped, serviced and updated with shinier, lighter and all-round faster parts.  This year we’re going to rip. Come and say hello if you’re at any of the UK...

It was a long, harsh winter, but now the drier trails have returned it's time to show your bike some love and get it tuned up for spring!  We have a fully equipped workshop with great prices on servicing. A full service starts from just £30 plus parts and we can do all jobs from new brake pads to a full strip and rebuild. Call the shop on 01928 898011 and get yourself booked in.

We have just increased our showroom space by 50% and we'd love you all to come and see it!!  We've also managed to cover most of our stock in a fine layer of dust whilst making our new showroom and frankly we can't be botheres to clean it... ...so we're going to sell it all REALLY CHEAP!!  This Sat the 15th March, we're having a one day only sale with MEGA deals to mark the new showroom opening! In store callers only and will only apply to items in stock on the day so you'll just have to come down and check it out. See you all on Saturday......
