Wembley Cycles Trail Taste!

Sample the joys of mountainbiking with the Wembley Cycles Trail Taste!
The Trail Taste is our demo program and we kick things off with the 2009 Giant Anthem X1.

The Anthem X1 combines the best features of light weight race bikes and sturdy trail bikes. The 100m travel Fox forks are stiffer than most of its rivals. Match that with the square shaped down tube added to the 2009 Anthem's frame and you have one of the stiffest and most precise steering bikes on the market. The Shimano XT Drivetrain doesn't miss a beat and the X1's tubeless ready Mavic XM819 wheels are a rare inclusion on a bike valued at less than $4K. The Anthem X1 weighs in at 11.88kg for a medium frame.

If you'd like to try before you buy then drop in with your Drivers License and Credit card and you can take the Anthem (Medium frame size) out for a real taste of the trail.

Cycling Maps online

I just found the DPI's webpage that contains all of their maps for cycling routes in Perth. They are available to download as a pdf document which can be opened by any PC that has Adobe Acrobat Reader or Mac users can open them with Preview.

I've also included a link to the website in the 'Websites' section of this page which is on the right side of the screen.

The coolest wheels in the world.

The wheels are available as pairs only. These wheels are designed for fixies only, if you want a machined sidewall on the rims so that you can run rim brakes then there is an extra charge of $10 per wheel. There are heaps of different designs so check out the Velocity Wheels website for all the details.
