Sunn Bikes Arrive at Mud Dock

We have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the new range of Sunn bikes at Mud Dock for quite some time now. The French brand has been absent from these shores for some time now. Well, they have certainly been busy during their absence, the new bikes look stunning!

As in the past, Sunn bikes are all about performance, they are extremely light weight with super dialled geometry. Most of the full suspension range features their kinematically designed rocker driven suspension link. This is a modification of the design used by Nico Vouilloz and Anne Caro Chausson to win many a World Championship.

The hardtail range has something for everyone with prices starting at £500 and finishing at £5500 for the Titanium Prim Finest. Standout models are the steel Modular at £1200 with replacable dropouts so you can run singlespeed if that floats your boat, and the Prim S3 at £760. Pop in to Mud Dock and check out the bikes for yourself.

Rollapaluza National Series, South West Qualifiers on Saturday 7 November



The South West Qualifiers of the Rollapaluza National Series – a nationwide quest to find Britain’s king of spin and queen of cadence – take place at Mud Dock on Saturday 7 November.

The National Series is a set of standalone regional events that will act as qualifiers for a ‘Grand Finale’ in London. The South west Regional Qualifiers is Round 1 of the National Series, and is being held at Mud Dock in conjunction with Bristol City Council and South Gloucestershire Council.

The youth categories of start at 1pm in the car park, and the over 18s start at 7pm. The evening and finishes when we have found the fastest man and woman in the South West.

We're providing prizes for all categories and entry is free. The bar in the Mud Dock Café will be open all day, and together with suitably loud music you can expect the usual raucous and rowdy Rollapaluza atmosphere. If last year's event was anything to go by, it really will be something special.

See you there!
