[email protected] WHY SELL MBS?
1. MBS is the original mountainboard company. Our name originally
stood for Mountain Board Sports.
2. We invest a lot into R&D and testing to help progress the
industry. The result of this is a good range of high quality
products. Our products are produced to a higher standard than any
of our competitors. Superior design - for riders by riders.
3. We support the industry and a big team of riders. We do a lot of
work promoting not just the brand, but also the sports we are
involved in. We attend a lot of national events and teach hundreds
of people to mountainboard every year.
4. Our customer service is second to none. We provide expert advice
and technical support to all our retailers as well as additional
support for team and demo boards.
5. Most importantly for your bottom line we provide good margins.
By operating year round we allow you to rotate your stock
frequently and re order when you need more. Our low order levels
and good discounts mean it is easy to achieve 100% mark up (exc.
VAT) and not be left with old stock.
TEAM RIDERS MBS supports the shop team rider concept. We believe in
supporting the local scene that surrounds a shop and are willing to
help out. For that reason we are able to offer 1 rider per shop 1
board at 30% discount from the standard trade price. The board
should be kept for a minimum of 6 months. This is only available
once a year. DEMO BOARDS We know a lot of customers prefer to try
before they buy, and we also know that once they ride one of our
boards they will want to buy it. With a number of shops having the
facility to allow riders to try before they buy it makes sense to
support that. Shops will be allowed up to 1 board of each model at
30% off
the standard trade price. These boards should be kept for a minimum
of 6 months. This is only available once a year. WARRANTY MBS
boards come with a one year manufacturers warranty against defects
in materials and workmanship under normal use. In case of a
suspected warranty it is important to gather as much information as
possible.
• What board it is? • What component is there a problem with? •
When the product was originally bought. • Where the product was
originally bought. • Board serial number (silver sticker on base of
deck) • What the rider was doing when the problem arose. • Describe
the issue as best you can. • Explain the desired outcome. • Include
photos if possible.
PRODUCT GUIDE 1.0 BOARDS
1.1 PRO RANGE 1.1.1 MBS PRO 100 – Tom Kirkman
Tom is a legend in the world of mountainboarding. From the early
days he always stood out of the crowd for his talent and style. His
style has strong skateboard influences. He is the one who is going
faster than anyone else and jumping higher than everyone else.
After a while out of the sport Tom is now back in a big way. In
2009 he won the World Downhill Championships (no brake) in France,
then the World Freestyle Championships in August, and was crowned
the overall winner of the Cream Teas and Jam series proving he is
truly the best mountainboarder out there. The board is built to Tom
s specifications. The board is stiff, allowing you to tackle the
biggest jumps and fastest tracks with precision. To help reduce
weight and increase strength we have removed all unnecessary
inserts. We have stuck to the tried and tested wood core with a
reverse cap composite wrap and PBT graphics. This comes together to
create a bombproof deck with vibrant coloured graphics. Dan Wilson,
one of the guys behind Remolition worked with Tom, who provided his
own sketches to create a truly unique graphic.
The next big change is Matrix Pro trucks. The Matrix channel truck
has proved unbeatable so far, and this is the next level of
development. We have been developing metal top trucks for a while
and finally they are ready. The result is an even more bombproof
truck than before that is lighter than before and provides more
controlled turning than before. To keep up with the bombproof theme
the board is fitted with F4 Pro bindings (white) with aluminium L
brackets and Rockstar Pro hubs (silver) and T3 tyres (black).

1.1.2 MBS PRO 95 – Jereme Leafe
Jereme is back and badder than ever, and the board that bears his
name is the same. To start with, we totally retooled the Pro 95
deck to be reverse cap construction (RCC) and added a whole inch of
width under foot so its more stable on the rails and gives you more
control over every move you make. We've also upgraded the base to
PBT so it slides like butter while protecting it's stylin' new
graphics. But we didn't stop with the deck. We've taken all the
tried and true componentry of the previous Pro 95 (including
aluminum RS Pro hubs) and added an even poppier deck lay-up, new
Matrix Pro trucks (with CNC 6061-T6 aluminum top trucks), and new
F4 Pro bindings (with aluminum L-brackets). All this makes Jereme's
new Pro 95 required equipment for anyone wanting to push the limits
of freestyle mountainboarding / kiteboarding.

1.1.3 MBS PRO 90 – Kite
The MBS Pro 90 is the ultimate production kiteboard. The board was
designed in conjunction with and to meet the demands of the MBS
Europe Pro Kite Team – Lewis Wilby, Mark Berry and Dave Ursell.
These are without doubt some of the most progressive riders in the
World and also some of the most demanding. The Pro 90 deck is truly
original in terms of shape and construction. The shape allows us to
save weight and create a well-balanced board making those aerial
manoeuvres much easier. The super strong unidirectional carbon-
fibre weave which actually shows through the bottom graphic, and
the other layers come together to create a stiff, responsive and
extremely poppy deck. We further strengthened our ATS truck design,
and adding a titanium axle reduced the weight where it matters the
most, at the boards tips, creating the best truck for freestyle
kiteboarding we could. The development of the T3 tyre was truly
groundbreaking for land based kiting. No other tyre provides the
same level of grip against the strong lateral forces created by
edging against the kite. This allows riders to edge much harder and
because of it go much higher. The Twistar hubs were designed with
10 spokes instead of 5 to allow them to keep their shape forever.
The hardwareless design makes them quick and easy to assemble and
greatly reduces the time taken to swap tyres or an inner tube. This
board is for the kind of rider who wants top level performance,
durability and minimal weight.

1.2 COMP RANGE 1.2.1 MBS COMP 95X
This is our top freeride board. We have taken our immensely popular
Comp 95 and beefed it up for freeriding with Tri-Spoke hubs and 9
T2 tyres giving it the extra ground clearance. A V5 brake kit
allows you to control your speed where there is no space for the
usual power slides. Together with classic Matrix trucks this is a
bombproof board. The board is finished with our super comfortable
F4 bindings. This is the perfect board for trail riding and tricky
descents and is very popular in the Alps and woods. Freeriding and
downhill racing is going to be a big development over the next
couple of years. There is a European downhill championship.

1.2.2 MBS COMP 95
The MBS Comp 95 is a very versatile board suitable for all levels
of rider. From the entry level rider who requires a larger and
stiffer set up to the weekend warrior who freerides, freestyles and
just has a good time. The Comp 95 features all the classic MBS
components like the Matrix trucks, Twistar hubs and F4 bindings
this year. It has been a solid board for many years and one of our
most popular boards. The board is bombproof and perfect for all
levels of downhill rider. The 95 cm deck length provides a
comfortable stance for adult riders, and is more than stiff enough
to support the weight of larger riders.

1.2.3 MBS COMP 90
The Comp 90 is a great cross over board between the kiting and
downhill side of things. It is shorter than most mountainboards
making it ideal for smaller riders and kiters. It is considerably
lighter than most mountainboards thanks to the Vector (pat pending)
truck system. These are a cross between the traditional channel
truck and the skate truck making the Comp 90 very versatile. The
Comp boards feature our F4 ratchet bindings, allowing riders to
lock their feet in tight. Twistar hubs help keep the weight down
whilst T3 tyres provide plenty of grip.

and totally redesigned F2 bindings keeping the board weight down.
This board makes a fantastic choice for anybody looking for
all-around performance at a price that won t break the bank. The
lightweight nature of this board together with the 95cm deck length
make it ideal for taller riders who do not have the weight or
strength to justify a heavier board.

2.0 ACCESSORIES & SPARES 2.1 DECKS Reverse Cap Construction
(Pro 100, Pro 95) Reverse Cap Composite construction (RCC) consists
of a composite structure (epoxy with fiberglass or other high end
fibers such as carbon or kevlar) wrapped around a full-length
vertically laminated wood core. The bottom surface of the deck is
wrapped upward to meet the top surface during the molding process
to protect the edge and provide the best sliding surface possible.
MBS CAP decks included stainless steel inserts for mounting F-
series bindings and / or grab handles. Sandwich Construction (Pro
90) Sandwich Composite Construction (SWC) consists of a top and
bottom layer of composite material (epoxy with fiberglass or other
high end fibers such as carbon or kevlar), sandwiching a
full-length vertically laminated wood core. The entire perimeter of
the deck is protected by a super durable half inch ABS sidewall.
MBS SWC decks included stainless steel inserts for mounting grab
handles and F-series bindings. PowerLam Composite Construction
(Comp and Core range) PowerLam Composite Contruction (PLC) is a
time tested construction technique, combined with current composite
technology. Powerlam decks consist of a horizontal laminate core
made from several wood veneers. Different types of veeners are
strategically placed throughout the deck to yield the optimum
performance required for that type of deck. Fiberglass is then
added to the lay-up to increase the strength to weight ratio. MBS
concentrates fiberglass layers as close to the top and bottom
layers as possible as this is where the bending stresses are at the
highest. Powerlam decks come predrilled for F-series bindings and
MBS grab handles. Maple Laminate (Atom range) Maple Laminate is the
tried and true technology that the entire skateboard industry was
built on and still thrives on today. Maple laminiates consist of
several thin maple wood veneers shaped and molded together to form
a single deck structure that provides the back-bone of all MBS Atom
mountainboards. Maple Laminate decks come predrilled for F-series
bindings and MBS grab handles.
2.2 TRUCKS MBS Matrix Channel Truck The MBS Matrix truck is the
hardest working truck on the market. MBS' patented spring / egg
combo delivers unmatched precision, rebound and on- the-fly
adjustability (4mm hex key) in a robust channel truck system that
will last a life-time. Perfect for riders that can appreciate the
smooth precision turning that only a ball-bearing king-pin
interface can deliver. Distance from
end of axle to end of axle is 15.5". 12mm axle diameter. Trucks
come stock with Yellow Eggshocks MBS Matrix Lite Channel Truck From
the minds of MBS favorite pro riders, the Matrix Lite delivers the
same reliability and performance as the standard Matrix truck for
150g less per board thanks to precision located CNC cut-outs. MBS'
patented spring / egg combo delivers unmatched precision (4mm hex
key), rebound and on-the-fly adjustability (4mm hex key). A “must
have” for any rider planning to push the envelope. Distance from
end of axle to end of axle is 15.5". 12mm axle diameter. Trucks
come stock with Yellow Eggshocks MBS Matrix Pro Channel Truck Some
riders wanted their Matrix Lite trucks to be even lighter. Others
wanted them to be even stronger. So what did we decide to do? Both.
And we even increased turning precision at the same time. The
result is the new MBS Matrix Pro channel truck system, the
strongest, lightest, and by far the most precise channel truck
system ever produced. Building upon MBS' tried and true spring /
egg technology, we upgraded the standard Matrix top truck to a
bulletproof CNC 6061-T6 aluminum design that looks almost as good
as it rides, and added a little extra spring compression to allow
you to go faster and bigger than you've ever gone before. If you're
serious about this sport you'll ride these trucks. MBS Vector Truck
MBS' Vector trucks provide the perfect blend between precision,
weight, and economy by combining the attributes of the lightweight,
easy to adjust, and inexpensive ATS truck with the world renowned
precision and stability of the Matrix Channel truck. Added features
such as a flat grind surface and the stainless M10 king pin and
hardware guarantee that the Vector will be loved by
weight-conscious kiteboarders, mountainboarders and skate park
riders alike. MBS Vector Pro Truck The new MBS Vector Pro trucks
with titanium axles strike the perfect balance - super light weight
but still strong, highly precise but at an affordable price, and
very stable but still easily adjustable. The rust-proof Ti axles
and stainless hardware make this truck perfect for kiters seeking
more precision and stability than a traditional skate truck can
offer. But at the same time, mountainboards wanting to shave POUNDS
off their channel truck set-ups will love it just the same. And for
those riders that do a bit of both, MBS Vector Pro trucks can't be
beat. Weight 1lb 9oz per. Axle Diamter 9.5mm MBS ATS Truck
Lightweight, adjustable, and very economical, the MBS ATS trucks
have stood the test of time. Great for entry-level adults,
intermediate to advanced juniors, and all kiters looking for a nice
light truck to fly around on.
MBS ATS Pro Truck Weighing in at just over 500g (1.1lbs) each, the
new ATS Pro trucks are the lightest trucks on the market - pure and
simple. But thanks to their solid titanium axles they are much
stronger than traditional skate style trucks. All that combined
with their superior corrosion resistence make it easy to see why
the ATS Pro trucks are the ideal choice for freestyle kiters.

2.3 HUBS MBS Tri-Spoke Mountainboarding's most durable hub. Nylon
construction for lightweight strength. Two piece design for easy
maintenance. Best for freeriders looking for a high-pressure hub at
an affordable price. Bearings sold seperately. Fits 8" & 9"
tires. Only MBS hub to fit 9" tires. Set of 4 hubs.
MBS Twistar The revolutionary MBS Twistar hub design takes all the
hardware out of the traditional two-piece hub, and replaces it with
interlocking teeth that are molded right into the hub itself. So
just a simple twist of the hub with your tire deflated is all it
takes to assemble it. The result is a hub that is light weight,
strong, totally rust proof, and so easy to assemble / dissassemble
that you'll want to change your tubes / tires just for fun. Ideal
for freestyle riders - especially kiters. Does NOT include
bearings! Patents Pending. MBS Rockstar Pro Extruded from the
strongest 6061-T6 aluminum then precision CNC machined, these hubs
are a thing of beauty ready to take the beast of your abuse. And
this year, we've made them even better by increasing the stiffness
of the nylon rim spacer so they can handle even higher pressure
than before, a change we hope will secure this hub's position at
the top of the podium for years to come. The only choice for
high-pressure freestyle riders! Bearings sold seperately.
***If you intend to use these hubs with the V5 Brake system you
will need to order the Rockstar Pro Brake Spacers - Pt#15003
2.4 TYRES
MBS T1 (Black, Red, Blue, Grey)
Thanks to it's well defined center bead and arced tread profile,
MBS' original custom tread, the T1, is still the fastest 8" tread
on the market, but it's the fact that the T1 is still the lightest
tire on the market that makes it the top choice for freestyle
mountainboarders around the world.
MBS T2 (Black)
The MBS T2 tire is the obvious choice for riders wanting a little
extra clearance to tackle the obstacles that lay in their path.
Made with a super tough rubber compound for unmatched durability.
ONLY fits MBS Trispoke hubs.
MBS T3 (Black, Red, Green, Yellow)
The design of the T3 tire builds upon the tried and true
performance of the T1 by using similar tread elements in new ways.
The result is a great new tread with increased durability and
multi-terrain functionality. Split Center Bead modeled on
traditional T1 bead. This design element combined with a flatter
profile puts more rubber on the ground. This increases overall
durability as
well as traction on pavement. Center Channel helps to channel water
in wet conditions. “T” Knobs provide excellent grip in soft terrain
such as loose dirt and wet grass, or on harder terrain with low
tire pressure.
MBS Roadie
This slick tyres are designed for those who love riding in urban
environments. They help get more speed on the flats, and grip on
tarmac. Skatepark riders will also love them.

The simplest of bindings, ideal for smaller feet and standard on
our Atom range. These use a simple Velcro system.
MBS F2 Bindings
They come fitted with our nylon L brackets and are compatible with
all our products. Simple, lightweight and adjustable these are
great bindings for those who do not require ratchets.
MBS F4 Bindings
A replacement for the F3 which was popular for a long time. The F4
is more refined, and takes influence from snowboard binding styles.
Equipped with ratchets they are adjustable and hold your feet
securely. They come as standard with nylon L brackets, and are
available in black or white.
MBS F4 Pro Bindings
These are like the standard F4s but come equipped with aluminium L
brackets which are stronger and allow for extra
adjustability.
MBS FX Pro Heelstraps
Simply the best heelstraps available today. We have refined their
design over the years and learnt what works best. These are
compatible with any MBS bindings using an L bracket such as the F2,
F4 and F4 Pro.
