I want to get my boyfriend a mountain biking magazine subscription for Christmas and was wondering which one to go for, MBR or Mountain Biking UK. Any opinions would be gratefully recieved

  1. Depends upon the type of riding that he likes doing.

    If he likes doing tricks and jumps, then I would go for UK. However, if he likes doing XC work or trail centres, MBR.

    The two magazines are aimed at two completely different markets. MBUK will tell you how to do simple stunts and give product advice accordingly. This is useful.

    MBR will plug the big weekend away or tail centre, reviewing these, as well as the latest full susser bike or hardtail. A decent mag and I subscribe to it. However, do not expect them to know where the midlands are or what trail questing is about.

    Luck

    I think Mountain Biking UK is the best!

    MBUK ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Their mags are LOADED with riding tips to enhance ur skillz and have all sorts of interesting articles and sneakpeaks at new products before they’re released to most countries :D If u were my g/f and u got me a subscription to MBUK mag i’d ask u to marry me :)

    MBUK wrecks any other biking magazines.

    MBUK is way better. In fact, if each issue didn’t cost like $12 here in the U.S. I’d subscribe to it. :o )

    hmm well it depends on which disaplin of mountainbiking your boyfriend does.

    MBUK covers pretymuch all disaplins i.e. crosscountry, downhill, allmountain etc

    MBR is more of a crosscountry/ allmountain mag…trail riding mag tbh

    tbh MBUK is best (Y)

  9. Take a look at Singletrack for the more discerning Mountain Biker!

    OK maybe more like the older Mountain Biker.
