If you were there, thanks for being part of it!
We teamed up with some of the industry’s top brands for the very first MBR Demo Day at the Forest of Dean at it was a belter of a day.
The sun was out in full force. As were the punters and the demo staffers. 200 test riders in total. 13 bike brands available to demo.
MBR writers, demo bike brands and members of the public all had a blast on the fantastic trials of the Forest of Dean.
Danny Milner, MBR Editor: “I’m chuffed to bits with how the first MBR demo day turned out. We welcomed 200 riders and fourteen brands to the Forest of Dean, and an hour before the event had even officially started, all the demo bikes were out on the trails! The sun shone, there was a great atmosphere all day and everyone was smiling. See you at the next one!”

Tickets included exclusive use of specially marked MBR Demo Day trail loops, access to demo bikes all day, chances to ride with pro athletes and MBR staff, lunch and coffee, an MBR goody bag, plus free downloads from an MBR photographer.
The whole idea of the MBR Demo Day was to give you an opportunity to meet the teams behind the brands and get out and ride some of the latest pieces of kit.
Tickets sold out, so well done if you were one of the lucky ones who got yours in time. We are looking forward to seeing you at the next one!
