Independent kit tests
From budget buys to superbikes, our Wrecked & Rated reviews tell you exactly what is worth your money.
Epic trail inspiration
Discover the best bike parks, singletrack and wild UK routes for your next adventure.
Cut the confusion. Meet the experts.
The bike industry is full of confusing jargon. We cut through the noise. Our legendary test team spend months riding components into the ground to give you independent, trail-tested buying advice. Whether you are upgrading your drivetrain or buying a new lid, we ensure you get it right the first time.
Serious advice, serious fun.
We take our bike testing seriously, but we never take ourselves too seriously. MBUK has been the rebellious, beating heart of the UK riding scene since 1988. Expect wild stunts, entertaining challenges and appearances from our unofficial mascot, Mint Sauce!
News, but also points of view.
Not only do we keep you up to date with all the latest tech, trails, personalities and exciting happenings from the world of mountain biking, but – more importantly – we cut through the hype and tell you what we really think.
Something for the weekend.
Skip the endless doomscrolling on Instagram and YouTube. MBUK is a colourful, informative read, which is sure to get you inspired to hit the trails once work or school is over.
Photography and layout is great, lots of knowledge about the products you test and the sense of humour keeps it fun
Every issue is packed with incredible photography, genuinely helpful gear reviews, and inspiring trail features. It's a highlight of my month when it arrives. Keep up the fantastic work. You guys nail the spirit of mountain biking!
I enjoy all the helpfulness of the Manual, especially the Bluffers guide it's nice having the information on setup and how things work. Mint sauce is always good.
