  • Nirvana Santa Ride 2017

    There was a good turnout for out 2017 Nirvana Santa Ride, with many rider's entering into the spirit & wearing costumes. Best outfit goes to Paul A with his Reindeer contraption! Unfortunately for head Santa Simon, the ride was cut short when he managed to catapult himself over the bars & head first into a tree trunk, resulting in knocking himself out! Fortunately, one of Santa's Elf's in the shape of Will, was able to  collect him & drop him off at A & E (thank you …

  • The Calling review

    Simon from Flowtastic took our demo Evil The Calling out for a ride with a view to purchasing one. Here's what he thought. 

    Last Sunday I was lucky enough to get the first ride on Nirvana’s new Evil “The Calling” demo bike. As with all Evils the write ups were very positive as to what this bike can do, so I had high expectations. Conditions weren’t fantastic and I was pooped from a big ride the day earlier, so the climb up to Redlands was ..... steady. However …

  • Hope HB160..Demo available

    The Hope HB160 has finally arrived. 10 years in the making this British made bike has finally come to fruition. The only drawback is that they will be in incredibly short supply, so get your order in early! We are one of only 10 dealers in the country & each dealer will initially receive just one bike a month. We have just received our first one & it truly is a thing of beauty, the attention to detail is incredible. I could go on to list the specification etc. but to be honest, Hope do …

  • Surrey Air Ambulance

    After a recent tragic local event, I think it's worth mentioning that although our fabulous Paramedics & Ambulance driver's are publicly funded, the Air Ambulance isn't. For as little as £2 per month (options available) we could make a difference to something which may one day save our or our loved ones lives.https://www.kssairambulance.org.uk/give/reds

  • Slippy Slidey Saturday ride

    The conditions were unbelievably wet & slippery, but we had a fab time. By picking our route carefully & sticking to Leith Hill where the riding remains good all year round, we managed to have one of the best rides of the year so far. We went back to practising some basic techniques ie. log jumping, which sounds simple, but can be quite tricky. Matt managed to take a nice video of all the shenanigans.
