Since the holidays I received some new MTB titles that I've been eager to get my hands on, and let me tell you, they didn't disappoint. Earthed 4, Clict 2 and Drift III are more race oriented Mountain Bike movies – so if that’s your preferred type of footage, then these are sure to get your juices flowing! They've been keeping my DVD player pretty busy....

Not to many riders know of LaPierre this side of the Atlantic. The only reason I was aware of them was through their high end road bike line, me being a closet roadie. It looks as though they plan to make a big push in '07 with their new mountain bike line though. In fact they have enlisted Nico Vouilloz (google that name, groms) to help develop their DH230 downhill bike.

When you ride your bike, FUNN is what it’s all about!! That is exactly what the blokes at FUNN MTB had in mind when they started making components – they wanted to develop products that would put a smile on your face and let you have fun on your bike.
