Us oldies here at Dirt are rediscovering the joys of the trails and have been spending every other sunny, dry evening at the local spot trying to remember how to get airborne.
We thought we’d better get the right tools for the job, so I ordered up a Blk Mrkt Riot for a tester from nice people at Hotlines.

I’m super lazy, so I love it when a bike arrives and all it needs is the handle bars and pedals wanging on and it’s straight out the door, ready to ride.

The Riot weighed in at 31lbs or 14 kgs in new money on the office scales and costs £1399.99 of your earth pounds. There will be more about this bike Dirt Magazine sometime, so look out for that. I’ll post some videos up on the site too.
