Glory, glory, hallelujah! Praise the almighty for he has delivered unto us a special of biblical proportions.
Thanks to the Reverend Joe Waghorn, Carine Cycles have re-carved the 11th commandment to read 'though shalt scoop up this Glorious DH special or forever repent'.
And saving $1,300 is gunna look good on Sunday morning when the Bishop passes round the plea jar.
For of course, you won't be in church. You'll be out cutting runs on this holier than though bargain!!!
We’ve got your back. With a first of its kind 76-degree seat angle, you’re in a position to defy gravity at every technical uphill climb. The Straight up geometry and its bio-mechanically correct seat position allows for maximum horsepower. Not only will you get an efficient ride, it’ll save your lower back and limits pressure on your “sensitive areas”... if you catch our drift.

The boys at Insane Cycles were luck enough to get their mits on this tasty little frameset for the small aggressive trail rider.
The Fluid has been at the forefront of Norco's trail duallies for nearly 10 years and the LT version extended it's capabilities with significant tweaks.
More travel being the main one. Up to 158mm or 6.2" in the rear. Wow!
'Beam me up, Scotty! There's a beasty down here I don't think I can handle.
Sleek, light, stunningly beautiful - like all the red-shirts I usually hook up with - but this one's different. I've had my Phaser on stun but to no avail.
Scotty, do you read me? Get me out of here before I'm forced to set Phasers to kill and I mount this foe for better or worse......' Kirk out.
If you've got the courage then this baby has got the range. With 160mm travel in her firey belly, the Norco Range 3 is built to go the distance.
Look! Up in the sky. Is it a bird? Is it a Qantas A380? (look a little lower...) No it's Super 4!!!
With red water panties on the outside in true super hero fashion, this punchy little fighter comes out blazing with 4 inches of trail fighting power.
Made for all-day sucking, the Commencal Super 4 Pro has just the right balance of frame geometry and components to keep you flying for hours. And she doesn't mind Kryponite - unlike some other loser....
Look, out on the trail, is it a bird, is it a plane? No - it's SUPER 4.
There's a lot of lycra and spandex out there, particularly in winter - the full length crap. But everyone looks the same, and no ones doing anything special.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to don the brightest longs you can, make sure your undies are firmly on the outside - just below your utility belt - and hit the trail looking for greatness!
Tony @ Engadine Cycles is well known for his museum-like store and it's goodies. Do yourself a favour and get in one day. You'll be that kid in the candy store.....
So this Xplore frame from Xtension is a work of CNC'd art in the flesh.
Big sealed bearings, solid linkages and bombproof tubing will have you looking for step-downs and hucks like never before.
This country has not had a good run of Premiers lately. Keneally, Brumby, Beattie...we could go on.
Not a single worthy Premier since Holden spanked up HZ Kingswood really.
Until now.
The Commencal Premier Pro is designed with performance in mind over looks. Not that she ain't pretty. But the 69.5 deg head angle speaks control in hairy situations. A far cry from any state leader.
OK, can you read? We're assuming as you're here you have, at least, a basic grasp of reading the English language.
So look again up there.
70% OFF one of the World's most iconic long travel duallies.
If you know anything at all about Mountain Biking you'll know about the Norco Fluid line. And more importantly the LT version. Long Travel.
'Dang! You got shocks, pegs... lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?' Napoleon Dynamite knows his shit.
'Well, you have a sweet bike. And you're really good at hooking up with chicks. Plus you're like the only guy at school who has a mustache.' And he is wise.
It was Mr. Dynamite who convinced Mr. Marsh @ Engadine cycles to let this puppy go so cheap.
'Heck yes I did!'
Kenny Rogers is the Gambler, but with a little haggle you could be gambling your way to a win with this beefy pup from Grafton City Cycles.
A great all-round freeride bike, the FR20 boasts a spec that is second to none at full price.
Now consider that GCC have taken $2,000 from the table....
Are you all in?
Frame:
New Gambler Alloy 7005 hydroformed tubing FR geometry / ISCG & ISCG05 tabs adj.headtube for 11/8 and 1.5
Forks:
Yup, even George Michael would be clinging to faith if he witnessed this most holy of super specials!
It's not every day that one of the sports most iconic brands presents a key model @ retail anywhere near this price.
You must have faith in Carine Cycles. They have your next serious dually at a price even Jesus would wake up for.....
Frame ALUXX SL-Grade Aluminum, 7.0" Maestro Suspension
All Mountain, Enduro, Back Country blah blah blah....
Whatever the coined phrase, it's all about a long haul on your bike, sanga's and coffee in backpack, camera at hand, and a bike that can get you out and back - not only in one piece - but in style.
Norco own this category, having fed us a steady diet of responsive, yet comfy duallies for years now.
'Beam me up, Scotty! There's a beasty down here I don't think I can handle.
Sleek, light, stunningly beautiful - like all the red-shirts I usually hook up with - but this one's different. I've had my Phaser on stun but to no avail.
Reliable and strong oversize carbon full suspension mainframe, successful over many years. Optimized German CA D kinematics. Perfect and neutral suspension performance on all chainrings guaranteed. Extra stiff carbon rear triangle with carbon rocker. Industry norm needle, radial, axial and spherical bearings. Hardened extra strong rear dropouts and derailleur hanger. Low maintenance due to intelligent construction.
Features:
You'd think with a name like Stinky, we'd be having all sorts of fun. There's nothing funny about bush safety!
The fact is, you can only wear you underpants for four days (providing you don't soil them). Back to front, then inside out and repeat - you do the math.
Ex-Demo's rock! Trouble is they don't always find there way here usually because the shop guys snap 'em up first.
How the bejesus this one slipped through the cracks, we'll never know. Especially considering the tightness of Jordy Kopetko's crack @ Drift Wallsend...
So if you're a DH connoisseur, and pride your buns on pedigree - not mass produced clones, then you'll get this.
What can you say about the iconic Stumpy from Specialized that already hasn't been said.
You could say it's crap, it's ugly, it's useless, boring, overweight and overrated - but then you'd be talking about Kevin in accounts here - not this baby!
There is nothing bad to say about this legendary dual pumper, and anyone who had had the pleasure of jumping stumps on one would surely agree.
We'll dispense with the cheek for this one. That's because:
A. It's a sublime XC/Trail dually with pedigree others can only dream of &
B. This price from For The Riders is just too damn serious to be funny!
Simply put, we think you won't find a better XC dually at this spec level, with full warranty and dealer support, at this price anywhere in Oz - or over water for that matter.
Serious about XC or endurance racing? Then call FTR, call them now....
