Wheelbase North East are celebrating another successful Big Demo Day at Hamsterley Forest! Staff from our Darlington and Stockton-on-Tees stores came together with some of the best bike brands available at Wheelbase to host a fantastic day of demo mountain biking under blue skies and on the dusty trails of this super-fun riding venue.
Some of the best brands available at Wheelbase made the trip to Hamsterley to demo their latest mountain bikes and e-MTB’s.
Our mountain bike and e-mountain bike demo day was a chance for riders based in the North East to test ride the latest tech, finding out for themselves how these bikes handled on some of the most enjoyable trails around before chatting to each brand representative in between rides to get all the technical low-down on their chosen bike.
Each brand representative was on hand to talk through their range of bikes, helping ensure that riders really enjoyed the ride experience.
With over 100 riders in attendance all enjoying sunny, warm weather throughout the event and the fast and flowy marked trails of Hamsterley Forest riding riding particularly well our attendees were getting the very best out of this valuable riding experience. Thanks to some particularly slick organisation behind the scenes each rider was quickly matched up with their choice of pre-booked demo bike before a quick set up of pedals, saddle height and suspension sag left them with a high-spec mountain bike ready to shred.
Each rider was quickly and efficiently set up on their chosen bike so that they could the most out of their ride.
The 2023 edition of the Hamsterley Forest Big Demo Day saw a huge fleet of bikes available to ride from Yeti, Focus, Cannondale, Nukeproof, Mondraker, Merida, Polygon and Jamis with each brand bringing their latest full-suspension mountain bikes and powerful e-MTB’s.
Nukeproof arrived with a huge fleet of mountain and e-mountain bikes.
Cannondale’s Moterra range of e-mountain bikes where much sought after during the demo day.
Hamsterley Forest was jam packed with lust-worthy bikes.
Spanish brand Mondraker brought a sizeable fleet of their most cutting-edge mountain bikes including these super-fun trail and enduro bikes.
Leading U.K. parts brand Burgtec were there to show off their colourful wares.
The Focus range of e-mountain bikes were another popular choice.
Adam, our Wheelbase Darlington Manager was on hand to break down the finer details of the latest bikes, including this Whyte E-180 Works MX e-MTB.
We’d like to thank everyone who attended the Hamsterley Big Demo Day, our fantastic bike brands for supplying us with the world’s best bikes and our hard-working Wheelbase staff for hosting such a successful event. We can’t wait to do it all again next year; if you’ve got FOMO (fear of missing out) then pencil it in your diary for a similar date in May next year!
Thanks Guys for a brilliant day in Hamsterley. Amazing collection of bikes to choose from and a bewildering number of fantastic trails to ride. I had an absolute blast riding three awesome bikes. The weather was perfect and the trails were in excellent condition. – Dave, Newton Aycliffe, Durham
