Gorrick MTB race results

Breaking News…

Well done Sam.

Charge waterbottle

Chargewaterbottle We just recieved a load of these funky waterbottles. Clear, with printed logos including team sponsors. They have a screw cap and are the smaller type at 550ml, so they dont bounce out of the bottle cage when you are hacking down a bumpy descent on your Duster. Get one from you local Charge dealer!

First Rider Diary / Blog now live

The first Charge team rider diary is now up and running, and it belongs to Cunny (Richard Cunynghame). Check it out here!

We are still working on the layout of this news page and the riders page layouts, so bear with us. However all should be up sorted by the end of next week, so check back.

Also all of the bike frame and component product pages are currently undergoing a redesign, and will soon feature detailed images of the frames as well as geometries. Again this will be updated some time in the next week or so.

On another note, Charge Web guy “Packer” had his new dream bike delivered today, hopefully he will send us a pic of his new Titanium Duster for us to post up. Any other Charge owners send us pics of your bike and we will post them up in a “riders bikes” gallery.

Have a good weekend.
