MBS T3 Tires - NOW IN YELLOW AND GREEN!

The design of the T3 tire builds upon the tried and true performance of the T1 by using similar tread elements in new ways. The result is a great new tread with increased durability and multi-terrain functionality. Split Center Bead modeled on traditional T1 bead. This design element combined with a flatter profile puts more rubber on the ground. This increases overall durability as well as traction on pavement. Center Channel helps to channel water in wet conditions. “T” Knobs provide excellent grip in soft terrain such as loose dirt and wet grass, or on harder terrain with low tire pressure.

MBS "Roadie" Tires

MBS Matrix "WIDE" Channel Trucks


The MBS Matrix truck is the hardest working truck on the market. MBS' patented spring / egg combo delivers unmatched precision, rebound and on-the-fly adjustability in a robust channel truck system that will last a life-time. Perfect for riders that can appreciate the smooth precision turning that only a ball-bearing king-pin interface can deliver. The Matrix Wide truck is the standard Matrix truck, but with longer axles that deliver a super stable overall width of 18". Matrix Wide trucks are not brake compatible. 12mm axle diameter. Trucks come stock with Yellow Eggshocks.

MBS PRO PADS

The MBS Pro Pads are the best option for anyone wanting to push the limits of their riding. Thanks to their large coverage area, quality materials, and close attention to construction details, these pads will make sure you spend more time riding and less time bandaging. New improvements include 1200D nylon (upgrade from 600D) for improved durability, contoured 18mm knee pad foam for increased shock absorption and better knee pad centering, new rip-proof stitching design on elbow pad straps, wider elbow padding, and stylin new graphics.



MBS CORE PADS

Comfortable, durable and affordable! The MBS Core Pads are aimed at beginners and intermediate riders that want a good a pad at a great price, and with a little extra style thanks to this year's new pad graphics. Your body will thank you for it!

ACCELERATE INTO RAMPS AND RAILS UP TO 30 MPH!

Remember, the further you stretch the faster you will go!

Banshee Bungees open up amazing new possibilities with a highly elastic cord that launches riders up to 30 miles per hour. Put any terrain into play and eliminate the need for roll-in ramps. Working like a slingshot, riders tie the end of the bungee to any fixed object (rail, pole, tree etc…) past the feature they want to hit.  When a rider is ready to let it rip, he or she lets go of the handle. With an extra handle, two people can stretch the bungee for more speed.

The 3-strand braid design of vulcanized rubber prevents snapback, while it's ergonomic handle ensures a great ride with minimum effort.

Electric Mountainboard - Do It Yourself Project

James Howland and his project buddies, Pat Rimel and Nate Davis, created a motorized mountainboard as a project for their mechanical engineering class at Colorado State University. The board has a handheld speed control, and the team was able to get the board up to speed of 13 miles per hour. The speed decreases while traveling up hills but still has enough torque to conquer hills with ease.
