Australian Mountain Bike Magazine – Issue #214

Description

The 2025 AMB Photography Awards, presented by Shimano, take the spotlight in Australian Mountain Bike Issue #214 – a showcase of the year’s most captivating imagery from behind the lens. This year’s finalists deliver shots that stop you in your tracks, capturing the spirit, grit, and sheer joy of life on two wheels. It’s a visual call to action – to step away from the desk and get back on the trail. But this issue goes far beyond the gallery. Join artist and World Cup racer Zoe Cuthbert on a European racing journey that blends performance and perspective. Then follow Scott Cornish as he explores the intersection of mountain biking and neurodivergence – a powerful look at how riding connects minds as much as it does landscapes. The gear coverage is just as packed. We go deep on the Transition Regulator e-MTB, test the value-driven Silverback SE Trail 10, and run Shimano’s new Deore XT Di2 drivetrain through its paces. We also break down the latest updates from Bosch and DJI, and get hands-on with kit from NVR Lost, PNW Components, and Shimano Shoes. And for those chasing the perfect platform, we put nine pairs of flat pedals head-to-head in the ultimate shootout. From thought-provoking stories to trail-proven gear reviews, AMB #214 is packed with inspiration, insight, and the kind of content that keeps you riding further.
