Liberty Bikes / Rocky Mountain Bicycles rider Rhianna Farrell took out the first round of the Single Track Minds Enduro Series with a win in the 4 hour held at Jorgensen Park, Kalamunda on the 1st of April. Rhianna held off challenges from a talented Solo Women's field including Mel Webb and Simone McCallum to take home first place.


Rhianna's race winning bike is the Rocky Mountain Element 70RSL, a full carbon frame with 100mm of suspension travel handled by Fox Forks and Shocks. The only customisation has been the inclusion of Shimano's XT race wheelset and 160mm centrelock rotors rolling on Maxxis Crossmark tubeless tyres.

Another great result on the day was Chris Fisher and Dave Nairn of Delta BA Racing / Rocky Mountain Bicycles finishing in 2nd and 3rd respectively in the Solo Men's category.


Chris is currently racing on the Rocky Mountain Vertex 990RSL carbon fibre 29er. His XL size bike weighed in under 10kg including tubeless tyres!

A big congratulations must also go to John Carney of Single Track Minds for running another great event. He certainly gets the most out of Jorgensen Park considering it is not a regular MTB location. Also well done to all the punters who came out and made the atmosphere so inviting and enjoyable, endurance racing in WA is going from strength to strength because of your participation.
