Joe Connell, aka JC Slider, features in the latest edit by Hunt Bike Wheels and gives us a masterclass in precision and flow. The Downhill and Enduro rider has spent the winter pushing prototype Hunt Enduro wheels to their limits, carving buttery lines and slashing loamy turns aboard his Privateer 161. The result? A mesmerising display of skill, speed, and total bike control.

As we slide out of one season and into another, we can look ahead at new technology and clothing that are specifically designed and engineered for women.

The legendary BikePark Wales Trail Crew is back with another thrilling update. This month, they are rolling up their sleeves to bring you a brand-new red tech trail: Ych A Fi. It may sound like you're sneezing while saying its name, but expect steep, techy madness with plenty of natural features.

This is not for the faint-hearted. The crew also upgraded the uplift system with a faster shortcut and a slick new trailer design, meaning less waiting and more riding.

The latest chapter of Orbea’s Trail Tails series takes us on a journey through the hauntingly beautiful landscapes of Lake Resia, where history and nature intertwine in an unforgettable tale.

Jack Thompson challenged his strong will to escape the typical avenue of life that often led him to a dark place he didn't belong in.
