The Mountains Are Calling
Morzine is at the very centre of gravity based mountain biking in Europe, making it the perfect location for our ambassadors to test themselves and our equipment. With a vast array of riding in the area, all of our ambassadors were kept busy, whether they were blasting berms and sending jumps in the parks or exploring loam trails deep in the forests, Morzine has it all. MTB Beds were kind enough to play host to our crew and took care of absolutely everything. Making sure the team were fed and watered as well as showing them some of the best tracks they've ever ridden.
See the highlights from their trip below.

Joel Anderson
Joel is familiar with long days shredding mountain bike parks but Morzine is something special.
"Trails in Morzine are insane! So many to choose from on so many different mountains. I feel like a kid in a candy shop!"
Joel spent the week riding the Specialized Demo, a bike that in his words
"Eggs you on to jump that bit further or go that bit faster and all you can do is laugh."

Preston Williams
Preston has been lucky to race around the world but Morzine holds a special place in his heart.
"I really enjoyed exploring the ridiculous number of trails in Morzine. Mt Saint Anne was a new downhill track for me and boy, did she deliver. I got a great result at Andorra so that track will always be special to me."
Preston rocked the stand out Butter Kit on this trip. The kit is really well ventilated so is perfect for keeping riders comfortable on longer, warmer days out.

Will Greenfield
This was Wills first trip abroad with Specialized UK and is super grateful to MTB Beds for bringing everyone out to Morzine.
"Super Morzine is My favourite area to ride in all of the Alps. It's mostly flow trails with endless berms and tables. The trails have been built so well, it's like riding a rollercoaster."
Will's favourite kit he wore from the week include the 2FO Roost Shoes. "The latest version of the 2FO's are genuinely my favourite MTB shoes I've tried over the years, the new rubber compound offers loads more grip and I'm a big fan of the look and feel of them."
