Advantages: Good alternative to downhill orientated mags., Has the most exclusives much earlier on than other mags., Maps are free every month, and are usefully, plastic covered to keep them from going soggy on wet rides.

Disadvantages: Has gone up 15p in the last few months

MBR, Wow, what a fantastic magazine.

MBR is refreshingly different to other Mountain Biking mags out there. The main thing is that is isn't solely orientated around downhilling, duel, and jumping - as other mags often are.

You can be sure that there will be something interesting and new inside each mbr. Every month you get new routes to ride, right across the country. Maps include handy locaters which show you in which area of Britain they are, if your geography is not too hot.

MBR also features many exclusive tests and reviews on items that won't be hitting the shelves for months to come.

Other than MBR's "ride guide", and the exclusive test, you will also find information useful to help you in the workshop - Readers letters are particularily interesting.

As with most magazines, MBR features the occasional competition where you could win your dream bike, and nearly once every two months you will be please to find useful free gifts glued to the front cover of the mag.

All in all, I have found that after reading about every MTBing mag on the shelf, MBR is definitely the most informative and interesting read. Definetly worth a try, at £3.25 its a bargain!
