Magazine

Spoke was created in 2001 by Caleb Smith and Emma Gee as a response to the vast amount of generic mountain bike magazines available at the time. Spoke strives to bring a fresh and innovative look at mountain biking through original content, bold design and high quality production values. It provides an unbiased look at the lives and activities of mountain bikers in Aotearoa, consistently pushing the boundaries of mountain bike photography and graphic design. Spoke is published five times a year: February, April, June, September and December, and is available throughout New Zealand and online at firstfloor.co.nz

SPOKE #46
Published in Feb/March 2012.

Destinations

Best kept secrets. There are plenty of them in mountain biking. Who’d have thought that Auckland is a great place to ride? Or that Nathan Rennie is back on the bike and loving life away from the World Cup circuit? Did you know about riding in the wilderness of Glenorchy? Heard of Yeti’s up and coming junior downhillers? Bet you can’t figure out what all those dial on your suspension do either.

Spoke 46 has all the dirt on these stories, to take the mystery out of where to ride and how to do it, and who is doing it better than you. As well as the best Kiwi content, there are travelogues from Seb in Switzerland, Jerome Clementz takes a road trip in Aotearoa, and Jono tunes the Marzocchi/Mondraker rigs for the upcoming race season. Plus all our regular expert columnists set you straight on the big issues and of course we always have the best photography to feast your eyes on.
