There is still lots of time to ride this fall, so why not be on a brand new bike! MTBCO, with technical support from Smith Creek Cycle, has built up this ultimate Okanagan trail bike with huge support from Banshee Bikes, NOBL wheels, Marzocchi, Race Face, Magura, Chromag, Tannus, Ride Wrap, and TBSbikeparts.




“The Prime V3 is the epitome of an ‘all mountain’ bike. From long days in the saddle hunting miles and summits, to hitting steep techy rowdy trails; the prime handles it all in a composed and balanced manner.
Finding the perfect balance between playful nature, and the ability to plow through the roughest sections of trail due to the progressive linkage, the Prime V3 enables you to ride faster and more fluid. Combined with optimized weight distribution and ergonomic geometry the prime cannot fail to put a smile on your face.”

If you’ve already purchased an MTBCO 2021 membership, thank you for your support. If not, please keep the trail support going year round by renewing your MTBCO membership.

Mountain Bikers of the Central Okanagan (MTBCO) is a trail organization that builds/maintains trails and advocates for the mountain biking community in Kelowna and the Central Okanagan. We engage with all levels of government, as well as with other trail groups, to secure trail networks for the future. We also put on social events, group rides and host trail days.

Elevation Outdoors is a Kelowna based charity that has been focused on breaking down barriers to the outdoors since 2007. Our focus is on helping youth find a passion for the outdoors through specially designed programs that focus on mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, snowboarding and more. We provide all the equipment participants in our program need to participate, transportation to and from the trail head each day, and provide it all at no cost to the participants that meet our eligibility criteria. Since 2007 we have helped hundreds of youth get outside, connect with mentors, and build a better future. With small groups and ratios of 2:1 participants to volunteers the youth are able to build strong relationships and really build their skills over the course of a program. You can learn more about Elevation and our programs at www.elevationoutdoors.ca.

MTBCO wants to give a huge Thank You to Banshee Bikes and Smith Creek Cycle for making this happen. Thanks also go out to NOBL wheels , Marzocchi, Race Face, Magura, Chromag, Tannus,, and Ride Wrap for generously supporting the bike build.
