Black Art MTB

From the 1st of July we are revising our opening hours.

In an effort to allow our schedule to differ from our customers and allow the ease of drop off and collection of jobs we will be open till 6pm Monday to Thursday.

We have also been asked for a long time about on trail suspension set up/ tuning and opening a little later will allow us to offer this service. Reach out if you would like to know more about this.

As of the first of July we will be open the following hours:

Monday - Thursday 10am - 6pm
Friday 10am - 4pm (extended when needed)
Saturday/ Sunday - Closed

The customer/ business relationship is a two way street and we could not do it without you. We are very grateful for all our customers that make the shop possible.

Time for family, time for riding.

Back in the shop on the 2nd of January.

See you all in 2024. ✌🏼

If you’re not smiling as you watch this, in awe of what’s possible on two wheels and not inspired to ride after watching this…check your pulse. 🖤

Enjoy the weekend everyone.

Thanks again for everyone’s ongoing support we really couldn’t do it without you. ✌🏼

Come race a 75km XC as a team…it’ll be fun they say…

Even sharing the workload with that hurt. Let’s just say unprepared…

On a positive note a good result and a great feeling of support with shop jerseys and stickers to be seen on many riders and bikes. 🏴🖤

All photos by the man, the myth, the legend . Many thanks mate.

One of the goals of Black Art MTB has always been to create a community. Often overlooked, often lost, but an extremely important part of society.

Creating a business that people want to be part of, associated with, support. As we like to say - “Fly the black flag”. As without customers there is no Black Art MTB.

We are forever grateful for our customers and have now been in business long enough to start having suspension coming back in for the second time. It’s one to have customers but to have repeat customers is something to be extremely grateful for.

Thank you. 🖤

We are so very lucky to live where we live.

Winter on the Sunshine Coast, midday MTB ride and of course Fluffy is out.

As always super nice to bump into customers out on the trails.

Hope you all got out for a pedal and enjoyed the blue skies and cooler weather.

We will be closed tomorrow (16/6) for our local public holiday.

Back at it Monday (19/6).

Bookings available online (see link in profile) or reach out via email for bookings and enquiries.

If you’re lucky enough to have the day off too, see you out on the trails. ✌🏼

The only person I’d trust to wrap one of my personal bikes. Those who know me know the weight this carries. An amazing custom wrap on the critical areas to keep this gloss black frame looking good. Very happy. Thanks again.

Do you and your wife, husband, partner, son or daughter also rip up the trails with you? Lucky. 🖤

We keep getting asked so here it is. If you bring in two bikes worth of suspension to us at the same time (from the same household) we will give you 10% off for being a diligent owner and looking after all your bikes.

Here’s a pair from this week that were in desperate need of some love.

What a day to be out on the trails.

One of the best things about the shop is our ever growing little community of mountain bikers that surrounds and supports it.

Bumping into customers and having a chat out on the trail is one of the best parts of the Black Art MTB community.

Thank you and I hope you got in a ride today.

In the pursuit of the best possible results we only believe in using quality tools.

If it’s not good enough to touch our bikes and suspension it’s not going anyway near yours either.

We love nice tools and using them everyday. They make our lives easier, look after the components we work on and give the best results.

Young Harry King (15U) looking fully Pro at 2023 Oceania Mountain Bike Championships at Toowoomba last weekend.

The appreciation of support runs both ways.

Looking awesome on the bike mate.

Been contemplating selling both the Evil and the Epic Evo and going back to one MTB…

And then you take the Evil for a ride and it absolutely rips.

Definitely trying to solve a first world problem here in this shot.

Just a reminder that we will be closed over Easter from the 7th till the 10th of April. Back to normally trading 9am Tuesday the 11th.

Hope to see some of you out on the trails.

Happy Easter.

Setup Is Key

Unlike suspension set up guides from your bike manufacturer or suspension brand we can ask questions.

Knowing more about you as a rider…where you ride, the types of trails you enjoy, your riding style and experience alllows us to get the most from your bike and suspension.

Suspension setups available on their own or in conjunction with servicing.

The new Black Art MTB jerseys will be available in three sleeve lengths made by our good friends and local Sunshine Coast business .

ETA for the drop is mid next month but if you would like to lock one in so your size doesn’t sell out we are taking preorders.

Short sleeve - $79.95
3/4 sleeve - $84.95
Long sleeve - $89.95

Breathable lightweight mesh sleeves in all lengths to suit our endless summer.

Email, call, message, get in touch if you would like to rock the 2023 design.

We appreciate your support.

The grass is definitely greener here…

Calling all E-Bike owners and heavy hitters. In our opinion the best combination from Fox for both performance and reliability.

If you like the full Factory 38’s we have them in stock and if you prefer black we have them too. Pair that up with the Factory Float X and you will never look back.

Don’t forget we have 15% off Fox forks, shocks and droppers till the end of the month. There has never been a better time to buy.

In conjunction with Fox’s Ultimate Upgrade Promotion from now until the end of the month (28/02/23) we are offering 15% off all Fox forks, shocks and posts. (Also includes Marzocchi.)

This offer extends to not only our stock but also Fox Factory Australia’s stock available to be ordered in.

There has never been a better time to upgrade.

Please call or email [email protected]. Happy to talk you through options and what will suit your needs best.

Lifeblood: the thing that is most important to the continuing success and existence of something.

Oil is your suspension’s lifeblood.

All the fantastic wizardry that happens inside your suspension is all thanks to oil and how it is controlled.

Pretty special stuff.
