Posted on 13 Oct, 2025
We’ve got some exciting news to kick off the summer stoke… Thredbo MTB is officially partnering with Specialized Bicycles!
As Australia’s only lift-accessed mountain bike park, we’re always looking for ways to take the riding experience to the next level. Teaming up with Specialized, a brand that shares our passion for innovation and progression, means big things are rolling in for riders of every level this summer.
A Brand New Rental Fleet
This season, Specialized becomes Thredbo’s official rental fleet partner. That means when you hit up the rental shop, you’ll be met with a brand-new fleet of Specialized bikes loaded with the latest tech. Riders can ger their hands on:
🚲The all new Specialized Stumpjumper 15 EVO
🚲Specialized Status 170
🚲Specialized Status DH
Whether you’re tackling your first laps in the park or chasing speed on the DH, you’ll be riding world-class bikes built to perform.
More Specialized At Your Favourite Events
The partnership also extends to Thredbo’s signature events – from Cannonball MTB Festival to the Australian MTB Interschools and the Gravity Series. Expect more opportunities to connect with the Specialized crew, test their latest gear, and immerse yourself in the MTB community.
What Our Teams Are Saying
“Specialized has a reputation for innovation and performance, making them the perfect fit for Australia’s premier mountain bike park,” says Tim Windshuttle, Thredbo Partnerships & MTB Business Manager. “Having their latest bikes in our rental fleet means everyone from first timers to seasoned riders can experience world-class technology on our trails. Beyond the rentals, we’re stoked to team up with Specialized across our events and look forward to rolling out some exciting collaborations that will elevate the mountain bike scene in Australia even further.”
Tim Webster, Specialized Australia & New Zealand Marketing Manager, shares the stoke:
“We’re proud to partner with Thredbo, a resort with deep roots and significance in the Australian mountain bike landscape. We are very excited by their ongoing investment in new trails and park development which shows a real commitment to growing the sport, and through this collaboration we have an incredible opportunity to connect with riders right on the mountain.”
