Okay here it is the new Southern Spokes jersey😎. We were just about to push go on the order to Tineli New Zealand. However since we have had lots of interest lately from the cycling community in getting a cool local bike shop jersey that reflects
our region we thought we would offer it out to those interested in one to grab one at a discounted price for preorders.

These jerseys will be their Race Fit jersey with Waffle textured fabric on the sleeve and side panels for improved fit and an aerodynamic advantage. Double stitched pockets and hems for durability. Three rear pockets. Full coverage, full colour, fade resistant digital sublimation printing.

The new SCOTT Spark DC is all about offering more to every ride.

Race-bred performance, a lightweight build and serious trail capability — here are our top 3 specs:

⚡ HMF carbon frame — lightweight, stiff and responsive
📐 Low centre of mass — increased stability and confident handling
🚵 140mm front / 135mm rear travel — more capability without compromising efficiency

The result? A bike that climbs like an XC machine, descends with confidence and pushes well beyond what you’d expect from its category.
