DIRT BIKE RIDING HEAVEN, NZ

2 years ago | Words: Andy Wigan | Photos: MXstore

One of the main reasons that Australia’s leading online parts and accessory retailer, MXstore, partnered with Transmoto Enduro Events a few years back is that we share a common philosophy. We both subscribe to the idea that inspiring people to ride prompts them to take their dirt bike out of the garage and use the thing. And by doing that, it helps grow the industry. So much so that “Ride More” has now become MXstore’s corporate mantra.

That same ethos is exactly what prompted a few MXstore crew to make a recent trip across the ditch to hook up with former World and AMA MX champ, Ben Townley, and sample what he’s got on his New Zealand doorstep: some of the best riding conditions in the world, whether you’re into MX, trails, adventure or MTB riding. Go on; tell us this vision doesn’t inspire you to get out and ride!
