Specs

"This bike is very special to me. After my crash last march I never thought I'd be able to ride again... For me this bike resembles all the hard work I've put in. All the struggle, doubt and fear I've overcome to get to this point in my life.

I'm so thankful to have my main outlet back again and I couldn't be happier with my ride. It's just the way I want it but somehow better... It's the bike I wish I had my whole life! " -Matt Macduff

There is no words to describe how much work Matt Macduff has put in the sport over the last few years and despite recently taking a huge slam attempting his 40 Ft. loop, he shows no sign of slowing down. We are extremely happy to see him get support from Azonic and O'Neal for some fresh components and clothing! Watch the short video above for more info and a glimpse or a pretty interesting frame design. What do you think?

Our SEND IT mtb serie is exactly what you need to get stoked for the upcoming riding season. With Matt Macduff Bossing around Bailey Peckford and Fran Vigs like a badass dad would, the boys had one of the best times riding bikes and simply enjoying the little things life has to offer. Grab yourself a drink, hit play and when it`s over, go buy yourself a few extra shovels for the summer!

After successfully raising the neccessary funds throught a fundraiser, Matt Macduff`s giant Loop started coming to life in South Africa. After a lot of hard work and sleepless nights, Marshall and the crew pushed the boundaries of physics and managed to build a 40 foot tall wooden loop. With this gigantic structure standing in place, everything was ready for Matt Macduff to set a new world record for the tallest loop ever ridden on a bicycle. Unfortunately, as he dropped in and attempted to ride around the giant Loop, he deviated from his trajectory at the loop`s highest point. The deviation sent him and his bicycle out of the loop while being completely upside down, which led to a 40 ft fall directly to compacted dirt. It was reported that Matt Macduff broke his right ankle and right wrist, but did not suffer from any injuries to his head, neck or spine, and he did not lose consciousness after the crash. Matt already had a few surgeries, but he is awaiting to see a specialist as he will need complete wrist reconstruction. Despite the gravity of his situation, Matt feels lucky and he`s aware that a crash of this amplitude could have had tragic consequences. In a true Macduff fashion, Matt stays very positive about the accident and keeps smiling from his hospital bed. Please take a minute to send him some healing vibes and show your support! We will keep you updated as soon as we have more information. Matt, from the whole The Rise family, we wish you the best of luck with your upcoming surgeries and your recovery! You got this!

the Ontarian homie Nick Clarke joined Matt Macduff in South Africa for the Night Harvest dirt jump contest and took the win! Super stoked for Nick, the dude is seriously so dialed it's ridiculous! Wait no longer and watch all the madness!

Matt Macduff and JP Maffret joined forces to create a video part for the Keep It Real movie released last year, and it's super dope! The whole movie was shot entirely on 16mm and has a beautiful old school feel to it which makes it a Must-See!
