Summary: Obviously biased.
Comment: I like this mag for the repair tips and reports on what is coming out. Don't ever trust a review here. You would think they would at least keep the ads and the positive reviews for a product from appearing in the same mag or within one issue...

Summary: MBA the only Mnt. Bike Mag you'll Need
Comment: It took a couple of months to finally get my first mag which i couldn't find anywhere in this town. But it was worth the wait. MBA is a mag you'll literally read cover to cover because even the advertisements are good and some i'll be doing business with soon due to good pricing. Anyway, the mag gives you good tips and ideas along with reviews of products. Some of the verbage is over my head, but i'll catch on along the way. I thinks it's a good mag for beginner to Pro. I found myself even taking notes on some websites they refer to as good to go to to find trails to ride on. Keep up the good work MBA! Jim K. Casper Wyoming

Summary: Great magazine, but buy it directly, not worth it through here!
Comment: Anyone who likes mountain bike will see this magazine has great reviews and interesting articles, plus tons of advertisement, whether you like them or not.
I have no complaints about the magazine, I knew it before hand, but really, buying it here, to save almost nothing has been deceiving.
I made the purchase on feb 8, and as of mar 28 (today) I haven't received the first issue yet. I called the magazine customer service number, great gal, by the way, and she told me it should be anytime.
Hope you find this review helpful. Have fun riding

Summary: Mountain Bike Advertising?
Comment: I'm not sure why this magazine is so highly rated. Sure it's an O.K. magazine, if you like immersing yourself in hype, marketing-speak and incredibly superficial language. Admittedly the pictures are pretty and as an obsessed mountain biker i can say we like bike porn. I just cannot read any of the articles. Chock full of over-the-top adjectives and 'xtreme' language. I don't trust a magazine that calls every new incremental advancement in biking technology 'revolutionary' or 'amazing' or any number of disgustingly inappropriate modifiers. They ceaselessly use vapid 'technical' jargon made up to sound high-minded and high-tech, but is nothing more than marketing spew.
The tech advice column is full of suspicious letters that have the stench of stealth advertising. If there's one thing that's well thought-out about this magazine, it's how best to bombard the reader with sales pitches, half-truths and hype.
In short, this magazine is blatant industry propaganda. My first advice: don't buy it. If you do buy it (for the love of god) don't take anything between those covers seriously.

Summary: I plan on recieving this MBA for years to come.
Comment: I first have to say I used to get Bicycle Magazine when they covered MTB but they started sending me Road Bike Magazine also and then ony Road. They blended the two years ago so havent had one since till last year I was checking Amazon for Magazines and found MBA " Mountain Bike Action " and decided that I would subscribe. Happy to say not unhappy at all. This is truelly a MTBikers magazine. MBA covers XC , Downhill and all types of riding. I also enjoy the bike revuews and some of there adds are nice and started buying fron there advertisers. Anywy they post about how to attack a hill or downhill in ways for all levels. I dont work for them and dont care if you buy there magazines. I am just posting in the chance you were like me and looking for a MTB Magazine. I plan on renewing when my subscription runs out. Hope you try because I dont think you will be unhappy.
Downside is it took almost 8 weeks to get my first subscription but now verry happy with them.
