Mountain biking as a sport started in the Californian foothills in the late 70’s, and the idea of throwing yourself full-speed down massive hills hit a chord with a couple of British enthusiasts. They came home overwhelmed with what they had seen and started producing Muddy Fox Mountain Bikes immediately.
Throughout the 80’s and 90’s Muddy Fox was the bike to be seen on. Everyone wanted to have one. It was always a bike ahead of the competition and usually the brand bringing new ideas to the sport. The brand specialised in mountain bikes but also other flat bar bicycles. The company produced BMX bikes in the 1980s before the slump later on forced them to switch to mountain bike production, which they have stuck to ever since. They also produce Silver Fox to sell to big box retailers such as Argos.
Muddy Fox is now owned by Universal Cycles Plc, and all the bikes are designed and developed at their headquarters in Essex, England. The company prides themselves on producing high quality bikes that will suit all levels of riders.
The Muddy Fox ranges cover mountain bikes, road bikes and a specific range for women. The range covers the entire spectrum from the city user to the out and out downhill racer. With its history going back to the mid 1980’s Muddy Fox remains the original and still the best loved mountain bike brand.
Key bikes in the Muddy Fox range include the following:
Muddy Fox Tombstone Hardtail Mountain Bike
Designed to be out on the trails all day, the Muddy Fox Tombstone features geometry that has been tailored for comfort, and features hydro-formed tubing for strength. Over-sized chain and seat stays with extra mud-clearance are specially designed for riding in the UK.
Dual Suspension Range - Medusa Mountain Bike
The new full-suspension frame uses some of the latest technologies to help you iron-out rocks and bumps on the trail. Asymmetrical chainstays strengthen the rear triangle and sealed bearings at the pivot point reduce friction and wear to moving parts.
Within the Muddy Fox mountain bikes range, there is definitely something for everyone!
