ENGAGEMENT
What I like about Pinkbike is that it’s truly a relationship with a community. Too many advertisements
feel
like
a
blind shot on an open range. With Pinkbike, you know what sticks because you can track everything. You get feedback and you hear actual voices, for better or for worse.

women ON A ROLL
Mountain biking has influenced my adult life in every way, and it is inspiring to see so many new young women embracing the mountain bike ideals and lifestyle.

Women accounted for 37% of the bicycle market in 2011, spending $2.3 billion. Women Represent Over Half of all recreational bike riders, Female user registration on Pinkbike increased by 15% in 2013.
DARCY TURENNE To be able to leverage a media FILMMAKER/PROFESSIONAL MTB
hub with as much clout as
RIDER, NORCO
Pinkbike has been instrumental toward establishing myself as a professional athlete. This is especially true in the world of freeride - a very media based and subjective sport that is not 100% based on results. Women’s freeride didn’t really exist without the inflation of the sport through media. Without Pinkbike as a platform to show our
accomplishments,
they
would not be rendered worthy of attention of many riders around the world. The promotion of my
riding
through
Pinkbike
essentially created my career and has had a pivotal role in creating women’s freeride as a genre.

Pinkbike Tech and Reviews
We consider Pinkbike one of the most important media outlets to reach our target market. Their sizable readership has a vested interest and fervor like no other.
Added to this, we
have been more than impressed with the diligence of Pinkbike’s editorial staff to provide their audience with in-depth technical explanations.
Our
Double
Barrel shock is a sophisticated suspension product and on more than one occasion we have found ourselves reading their review and saying, “WOW, I couldn’t have said that better myself!”
Holly Colson Marketing Director, Cane Creek Cycling Components

David Weagle As many of us who have worked Split Pivot
in the cycling industry know, sometimes “product
reviews”
can be a scary thing, where the rating of your product can perhaps be subject to more than just its performance on the trail. This is just not the case with Pinkbike; positive or negative, Pinkbike’s
commentary
is
always thoroughly considered and extremely fair. In my opinion, Pinkbike has assembled one of the most competent, objective, and critical editorial staffs in cycling media. Each member of the Pinkbike team is competent on the bike, technically proficient, and eager to evaluate each product without preconception.
In
addition,
they do a fantastic job with the written,
pictorial,
and
editing
elements
of
video review,
conveying the details of each product in a way that’s easily understood by the riding public. It’s a joy working with Pinkbike, and as a technology developer, I frequently look forward to their involvement in projects that I’ve been a part of.

advertising on pinkbike

Over 93% of companies advertising on Pinkbike continue to do so the following year.
Pinkbike
approaches
their
customers as partners. They don’t just sell ad space. Whether it’s launching a new bike or covering an event, the crew at Pinkbike know how to connect with riders. Which makes sense, because they all ride, too.
Sean McLaughlin Global Marketing, Specialized Bicycle Components, Inc.
The impact of Pinkbike’s reach caught me by surprise. When we first partnered a year ago to hopefully raise $5K for our cancer charity… we ended up raising over $35K.
Just this
spring we again smashed that record and raised over $50K with over 2K individuals donating to the fundraiser. This among many other things illustrates why Pinkbike is the #1 MTB website. The number of people they reach and their reader engagement is like no other!
