MBUK has been at the heart of the mountain biking scene since 1988 – starting as a magazine and growing into a multi-platform brand for riders, with video content, podcasts, events and merch alongside the print edition.
Whether you’re into shredding trails, racing, catching up on the latest MTB news or just soaking up the culture, MBUK has something for you.
Launched in 1988 by founders Tym Manley and Chris Turner, Mountain Biking UK quickly became a pioneer in the UK mountain bike scene.
Always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on two wheels, MBUK has championed the sport’s evolution while keeping a strong focus on fun and community.
Through the booming ’90s, the magazine reinvested its success into promoting and growing the sport – launching Bike Show Live, Team MBUK (MBUK’s pro downhill and cross-country squad), MBUK Urban Tours, and the original MBUK.com (the precursor to today’s hugely successful BikeRadar.com).
Over the years, MBUK’s taken on some unforgettable challenges, from riding out of planes at 6,000ft and riding away, to blazing through a massive ring of fire in an MBUK skinsuit, facing off with the Marines, and building huge ramps for epic 30ft lake jumps – all with the legendary Mint Sauce never far behind.
This proud legacy continues today thanks to you, our loyal community of fans.
