Racing is alive and well here in NZ.

This past weekend, Dunedin played host to the Emerson’s Three Peaks Enduro and in unusual fashion, Dunners turned on a scorcher, with two absolute pearler days to set the tone for the weekend’s racing.

Three Peaks is a two-day format, with the first day taking place on the tight and tech trails of Whare Flat, with the second day culminating at Signal Hill. A favourite with riders, it drew a huge crowd of racers from all over the country and provided some incredibly tight racing.

Both fields were hotly contested, but young Jenna Hastings ended up taking the overall for the Women, just ahead of Robin Goomes. Charlie Murray went back and forth with Cole Lucas all weekend, but ended up coming away with the win. Huge thanks to Kashi and the team for putting on another flawless weekend. Keeping everyone fed, hydrated and on time is no mean feat. Let’s do it all again next year.

VIDEO | How Santa Cruz Designs Full Suspension Bikes

Janet Kan November 21, 2022

Kiran MacKinnon is a human dyno. When Santa Cruz Bicycles needs to test, experiment and validate suspension then Kiran is the one of the main people we call on to do that work. Not only is he an extremely talented bike rider and incredibly knowledgeable about suspension, but he can actually interpret and translate what he’s feeling in a way that he can communicate to the rest of the engineering team. This enables them to cross-reference the data they’ve collected with real life, on-trail experience to build better bikes and provide the right setup for our riders. We’re constantly refining our VPP™ suspension as well as the damping tunes shocks we spec on our bikes in order to make sure our bikes ride really, really good.
