Fancy having a razz on some of the latest mountain bikes from Nukeproof, Vitus or Ragley? Chain Reaction Cycles is hosting a demo series that’ll allow you to do just that.

For just £5 you’ll be able to ride up to three bikes at one of several carefully selected riding spots. The series will span six popular riding locations throughout the UK and kicks off next weekend, March 12-13 at Bike Park Ireland.

Demo Sessions information

Each event will feature two days of demo sessions, with three session times to choose from on both days. The sessions run in 2.5 hour slots and should allow you to demo up to three different bikes in your chosen session (based on each circuit taking approximately 40mins).

Registration opens one hour before each session to allow time to check in and pick up your pass ahead of the ride. To avoid disappointment, riders will have to arrive in good time for their booked sessions.
