The Mid-Winter Loam Report: Where to Ride This Weekend
It's the middle of July, and while the mornings are frosty, the Australian trails are delivering literal "hero dirt."
If you've been waiting for that perfect window of tacky, predictable velcro, this is it. Networks like Harcourt and Bright are currently in prime condition. The slight winter moisture has bonded the dust, creating berms that feel like they're on rails. But remember: winter loam is fun, but it's also hard on your gear. The grit and mud are the silent enemies of a quiet, smooth-running rig.
Mid-Winter Protection Check
Before you load up the shuttle for a weekend at Bright, give your bike a proper deep clean and check your protection. A few stone chips now can lead to a lot of regret come resale time.
- Frame Defence: Wrap your high-wear areas in our ENLEE 3D Honeycomb Protection to deflect those high-speed rock strikes.
- Chain Security: Don't let a dropped chain ruin a loamy run. The ZTTO CG-04 Bash Guard keeps your drivetrain locked and quiet.
See you on the hill. Send it.
