    What they say about Cranked

    Essential bathtime reading (maybe that’s just me). Really love the interviews and features, with none of that daft ‘which stem is best’ nonsense. It’s the best mountain bike magazine out there.
    Brant Richards
    A bike mag with true heart. Immerse yourself in a world of mountain biking that isn’t all schralp, gnar and rooster tails but instead is people, places and passion. Love it.
    Chris Maloney

    Great variety of articles, amazing photography, good value for money.

    Graeme Tilbury

    I read every issue cover to cover. Sure, the cover price is more than the comics, but when you’ve finished looking at the pictures in the comics, Cranked will be keeping you entertained twice over.

    Phil Town
    Beautifully presented, with incredible writing and stunning photography. Where others in this space have become all about the jibs and the kit, Cranked talks about the joy, the struggle, the whole real experience of being outside. Truly a magazine for mountain bikers. And the best value for money in the trade.
    Danny Keighren
    Amazing mag, best on the market.
    Jay Hoult
    Great content. Fantastic images. Beautifully presented. More please!
    Alex Rafferty
    If a well-known Danish brewery made mountain bike magazines, Cranked would still be better…
    Adrian Pavey
    This is not your regular magazine. It’s more like a good book where the next chapter drops through your letterbox every few months. I love it. You might too.
    Neil Daniel
    Only subscribe if you’re patient and like anticipation. I guarantee you will read each issue too quickly and, no sooner have you put it down, you’ll be wanting the next one to arrive…
    Richard Smith
    Go anywhere and live vicariously through the stories about the life you wish you had, even if you don’t know it. Buy this mag. It will save you.
    Brad Smith
    Great and inspiring stories, and fantastic photos. Each issue is a work of art. Surprisingly good value for money…
    Jon Williamson
    A unique and personal approach to mountain bike journalism. Stories of people and fantastic photos of locations. The craft beer of mountain bike magazines… one of the few magazines I read cover to cover. Recommended.
    Mark Vernon
    Cranked is a gorgeous publication with passionate consideration and no compromises at its core. In a digital world, the tactility and experiential nature of print is often overlooked, especially as many publications are printed on stock only slightly more substantial than toilet paper… but Cranked is a joy to (be)hold.

    Remember when mountain bike magazines were worth reading? We do, too.
    That’s why we set up Cranked…
    • the highest quality paper, because touch and smell are important too
    • quarterly, so every issue is fresh and relevant and… exciting
    • minimal advertising. If we sell more ad space, we add more pages
    • no product reviews (or route guides, or re-hashed press releases), because you can get that information elsewhere anyway

    • 100% independent, 100% impartial. Owned and run by riders who are as passionate about bikes and riding as you are
