Retro Tech That Changed MTB... And Some That Didn’t!

The history of mountain bike technology has been littered with incredible innovations. Some morphed into the great products we see every day and some became extinct.

With this in mind, we went to the Malverns Classic Festival to hunt down the raddest retro tech and consider how mountain bikes have evolved.

We’re looking back at products that transformed mountain bike riding and paved the way for the components we take for granted today.

We’ll also be looking at some ideas/designs/tech/ that (although amazing) failed to set new trends in MTB.

Which of these products would you most like to try? Let us know in the comments 👇
