What’s the perfect bike for BikePark Wales?

In MBUK’s latest video, Rachel Bennet and Julia Broussier from the magazine’s team meet industry insiders and bike park regulars to see which bikes they choose to ride at BikePark Wales – and why.

Cross-country bike? Enduro bike? eMTB? Or some kind of compromise? Which setups rule the bike park?

Julia, MBUK‘s creative design lead, takes us through her Merida 160 700 enduro bike, while staff writer – and keen XC racer – Rachel’s Orbea Oiz shows that the latest cross-country bikes can cut it at one of the world’s best bike parks.

Rach and Julia meet Shawnee Finlayson, the founder of Shred Like A Girl, to take a closer look at her Propain Tyee, before Sarah Munton, the content and marketing manager at BikePark Wales, reveals her near-box-fresh Trek Rail 9.8.

Tracie Price, an ambassador for BikePark Wales, then closes out the video with her Trek Fuel EXe, a lightweight eMTB with a custom wrap.
