12HRS IN THE PINEY
Across November 9th and 10th, New England Mountain Bike Club will host
the 12 hours in the Piney in Armidale. The event that sits high on the New
England Tablelands, but has had a few changes from previous editions.
Firstly, the 12 hour race is split into a 6+6 format running in the daylighthours of the 24 Hour mountain bike race at the same time. The big change
is the venue, as the race moves away from The Piney and shifts to the
University of New England and their purpose-made course, some of which
you would be familiar with from the National XCO racing in Armidale.12hoursinthepiney.com.aumounted shock on either an ALLUXX SL aluminium
frame or and Advanced-grade composite frame.
With a head angle at 65 degrees and a short
offset fork, Giant have made their new bike stable
at speed and agile in the tight stuff. The seat angle
is a very forward 76.8 degrees, keeping your weight
forward on the pedal ups, and keeping you ideally
centred when working the trail.
With direct input from the Giant Factory
Off-Road Team, you know this
thing will be fast, and the
way to rip seconds off
your times on your local
big lines or any Enduro
race you line up at.
There are five models
to choose form,
with two ALLUXX SL
models including the
Reign 29 SX, and 3
Advanced Pro models.
Pricing starts at $3999.
