• Buyer's guide to mountain bikes: get the right bike at the right price

At the BikeLIVE events earlier this year we had the likes of Canyon, Giant, Cube, Rose, Whyte and others with around one hundred bikes between them for you to play around on and test on everything from mountain bike trails to gravel circuits as well as road riding.

Tickets are priced at £15 per person and on the day you'll find various food and drink vendors on hand to keep you fuelled up in the event village. The off-road.cc team will be in attendance too if you fancy a chat about anything bikes.

We've put a quick rundown of each event below but you can check out the full details and buy your tickets on the BikeLIVE website here too. This is where you'll also find all of the latest events organised by off-road.cc as well as our friends at road.cc and ebiketips.
