Mountain biking in the UK has been around for over 25 years, and it all began with Muddy Fox.

The 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 awe-struck and decided to go forth and spread the gospel: Muddy Fox was born!

Throughout the 80’s and 90’s Muddy Fox was the
bike to have. It was always ahead of the pack and usually the brand leading the way to bring new ideas to the sport. Occasionally the designs were a little too advanced, as a testament to their ingenuity some of them are starting to crop today.

The Muddy Fox Race Team has always played a large part in the testing and developing of new products and at its peak boasted a string of elite riders including Gee, Dan and Rachel Atherton
and Dan Stanbridge to name a few.

Muddyfox is owned by Universal Cycles Plc, and all the bikes are designed and developed at our headquarters in Essex, England.
