We were quite excited when the brand new Bronson C XX1 Build Kit turned up here at Escape Bike Shop at the start of May. These are the bikes of the moment so we were seriously excited to built it and have a blast. We are still waiting for the Enve Carbon Wheels to seriously pimp it out but are using some great WTB wheels at the moment, well, we couldn’t wait! We have also changed the bars to a Enve 800mm Downhill Carbon and fitted a super short 35mm Easton Stem.
The 2013 Stereo Super HPC range from Cube and Escape Bike Shop has both the 29er – new 650b available to buy online and in store.
The Stereo Super HPC full suspension bike no longer features a 26 inch wheel option, instead opting for the two larger wheel sizes. This meant that the frames could be designed to work best with the increasingly popular 650b and established 29er wheel sizes that allow faster rolling handling characteristics.
Cube uses it’s new High Performance Composite, or HPC, frame for the Stereo Super HPCs. They are moulded so that the whole front triangle is a single piece with integrated bearing seats. This means that the frames are not only strong, but incredibly light too.

On the 23rd of March, Gisburn Forest is having an opening day.
The new Gisburn Forest Hub will open, with Hope providing Guy Martin to cut the ribbon. The opening day starts from 10am, with the ribbon cut at 11:00. It will be quite a big event for Gisburn Forest with various new sections and areas opening to the public. We have a few details on what to expect.
With loops in varying grades of blue, red and black, the new Skills Loops will allow riders to see just how skilled they are to tackle features to prepare them for some of the features out on the main trails. The loops offer something for everyone with different features to tackle as you ride.

Now, although Escape Bike Shop loves the Stealth Electric Bikes, we understand that some people see them as pointless and comment that a mountain bike should be powered by humans only.
However they are missing the point, the Stealth Bomber and Stealth Fighter are for fun. For people that love to go fast, both downhill as well as uphill. Sure they aren’t the cheapest bike, but if you are after a toy for grown-ups, the Stealth bikes are right up there with quad bikes and motocross bikes.
The Stealth Bomber demo bike we have at Escape Bike Shop always puts a smile on the riders face, even those that seem them as a waste of time. If you are sceptical about the purpose of these bikes, you need to have a go and you will see why they are the most popular electric mountain bike in the world.
We want to hear your views on the Stealth Bikes, so head over to our Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/escapebikeshop) and give your opinion or criticism (Don’t forget to Like us while you are there).
For the full specs, have a look at our Stealth Bomber and Stealth Fighter pages in our store.
We also have a short video to share with you showing a Stealth Electric Bike tearing up the outback trails with plenty of effortless speed.
We have just taken delivery of a new Demo Bike at Escape Bike Shop. However it is not the latest Santa Cruz or Yeti. The latest demo bike is from Stealth Electric Bikes, the excellent and brilliantly fun Stealth Bomber.
As you would expect, the electric motor makes this bike an unbelievably laugh, instant power just a flick of the wrist away. Needless to say we have already spent a fair bit of time testing it on our own test track. We are always getting people asking us if we will get a demo bike in stock, after having first hand experience of the Bomber, we just know that you will love it. Obviously we have to add our own touch, so the bike has been given the Escape sticker make-over.

Does it get any better!? We need to see more of the perfectly formed yellow ones!
When you think electric bike, most likely you will think of city bikes with an extra wide seat tube. Stealth, the mad bike creators from Australia, plan to change your perception with the robust Bomber.
With a 4.5kW output, this electric bike has a range of around 50 miles. So far so good. However, the Stealth Bomber can manage up to 50 mph, and not just on asphalt. This electric bike is made to work on muddy, rutty and rather tricky off road trials too.
