MOREWOOD BIKES OUT NOW THROUGH BLING INDUSTRIES.


Ladies and Gentlemen,


Get down on your knees and send out your thanks to the Gods of Bling……. I said get down and scream out your gratitude! Why? Because your prayers have been answered fool. I’ve heard you crying out in the night, I’ve heard you weeping and wailing….. Whimpering, ‘Why does my bike suck so much ass? Why do I keep getting my butt whipped at the races? Why am I spending all my time fixing this piece of shit and not riding? Why o’ why am I riding the same crap as everyone else?’…..

Well child, fret no more…because all your dreams have come true!

YES, that is correct! MOREWOOD BIKES ARE HERE! And they are set to DROP THE BOMB!
Thanks to the good souls at Bling Industries, for the very first time in Australia, the entire range of Morewood Bikes will be available to satisfy YOU.

Coming to you live and direct from Pietermaritzburg, South Africa (home town of Greg Minnaar), Morewood Bikes are something a little bit special and a lot bit fast. Morewood is an anomaly in the world of mountain biking today, a true rider run company with keenly tuned bullshit detectors and an excellent fad avoidance radar. These frames have everything you need to go quick, and absolutely nothing you don't. Beautifully executed single pivots, built around Morewood's Staple Pivot Interface - the perfect weapon to keep you on the podiums and out of the workshop.

Each and every frame you see here in the Morewood range is the product of the blood and sweat (no tears though, we’re too hard for that) of one very, very fast man – 3 time and current Sth. African DH champion, Patrick Morewood. Every frame is designed, prototyped, tested, tweaked and raced by one man. That, ladies and gentlemen, is unmatched attention to detail, unsurpassed passion and unparalleled love.

No matter what flavour your riding (as long as it is fast and on dirt), Morewood will have your ass covered with style – all handmade by a national champ, all heat treated 6082 T6, all race-light and all as stiff as your morning glory. Check them out below….and if you reckon the pics look hot, just wait until you ride one, you’ll be so excited you’ll shit yourself, I promise.
