We have heard how hot the Philippines is when it comes to mountain biking (and the cycling sport as a whole). The Pinoy mountain bike community brought their own unique flavour and local culture to the sport, adding more colours to the Asian mountain biking scene. It is from amidst this fun-loving folks that we chanced upon young Sam Mariano who rides out from Roxas City. Lots of city slickers can claim they are into mountain biking and are totally into the sport. We’ll let Sam show us what it means to be “into a sport” – or at least … one way of being totally into the sport.
Bikezilla was given the opportunity to get well acquainted with the Mondraker SuperFoxy Carbon R. Looking back, we had our first experiences with the Mondraker Dune and Foxy in 2015. Those bikes had both the looks and the capabilities to handle the trails well. What’s more memorable was that there’s a certain unique personality about Mondraker Bikes. We’d like to call it the “Mondraker DNA”. It is with this anticipation and benchmarking when we got hold of the new SuperFoxy Carbon R. We were eager to find out for ourselves just how did this shiny new Mondraker model match up with its predecessors. Our editor shared the team’s collective experiences.

We still love the trails at Doi Suthep and Doi Pui. But more than a decade of shredding the trails on these holy mountains had damaged the trails quite badly. While some riding would continue around these 2 mountains, there are also measures to heal the mountain and ensure safety for users of the trails. It will take time for the mountain to heal. It’s time to ride deeper down south-west. Deeper into Doi Inthanon. This is an update on what’s new around Chiang Mai mountain biking.

Some folks only need one bike for every kind of ride. Some folks prefer an arsenal of weapons to match the occasion. If we are to ask you what is the ONE BIKE that represents the real rider in you? What would that bike be? Bikezilla presents 3 distinctly different bikes for this casual shoot-out in the hope of getting our riders to discover their true riding personality. This is not one of those usual “serious, technical and number-crunching” bike test. Rather, it is a fun, get-together ride with lots of qualitative understanding into each rider’s aspired dream bike and a conclusion for each of them to build towards their ONE BIKE that suits them best.

There’s something magical about the Pivot Switchblade. Before riders owning other brands’ bike start hurling rocks, hear me out first. I will explain why. This is not your typical bike review. (Ed: The Switchblade V3 has gotten it’s fair share of serious straight-edged reviews, so this editor will talk about something more light-hearted.) This article is tagged as a Bikezilla’s Editor’s Note, which means there would be some personal opinions thrown in. Feel free to share your comments. Before that, here’s why the Switchblade is “magical” and why would I personalise my build with a full array of Funn and Granite Design products. Here goes!
