Shimano : Ten years supporting Mountain Mayhem.
2007 marks the 10th anniversary of Mountain Mayhem, and with it the 10th year of Shimano’s neutral technical assistance. Working throughout the night, Shimano’s team of expert mechanics will always be on hand to assist and support those taking part. There’s no charge for service, all you need to bring with you is your bike and a smile!

Commenting on Mountain Mayhem’s long association with Shimano, organiser Pat Adams had the following to say, “I am so pleased Shimano will be with us again this year as they were the first sponsor to come on board in year one to support the Red Bull Mountain Mayhem”
Matt Rushton, Marketing Manager of Madison said, “We are delighted to offer our continued support to the riders at Mountain Mayhem, they are what makes this what it is – the best MTB festival in the world. Seeing Mountain Mayhem grow every year is a great testament to Pat and his team for keeping the thing fresh. May it last for another 10 years.”
Out of the shadows – Shimano XT
The world’s largest mountain bike festival, Mountain Mayhem isn’t the only one celebrating an anniversary this year. Shimano’s iconic Deore XT groupset is celebrating its 25th anniversary! To mark the occasion, Shimano have launched a new XT groupset featuring the new and exciting Shadow rear mech and the riders and spectators at Mountain Mayhem will be amongst the first in the world to see and try out production samples of the new group. Madison, the UK importers and distributors of Shimano will be holding another fantastic giveaway in the same vein as the past 2 festivals, whereby they’ll be giving away the FIRST XT groupset to land on their doorstep to one lucky winner. See below of competition details.
