Did you know?!?
Shredding Trails Jersey’s are made from re-cycled plastic, whilst their organic tech tees are ethically sourced. These products have been meticulously tested in the lab and on the trails, with outstanding results. In addition, they offer customers the option of returning their Shredding Trails jerseys back to them, once they have reached the end of their usefulness. These jerseys are then recycled preventing them from ending up in landfill. Brilliant!
In short, the pinnacle in performance wear that doesn’t cost the Earth; Literally! By choosing to ride in Shredding Trails apparel, you can be safe in the knowledge that you are contributing towards a healthier planet, whilst also supporting an Australian, family owned business, that is trying to change the world, one jersey at a time. We like it!

New: GASGAS Electroflow™
Awesome to have GASGAS on board for our Electroflow™ eBike-specific classification! These bikes have just hit the Australian market – they have Spanish roots and are part of the Austrian-based Pierer Mobility Group (which Rocky Trail’s Austro-Australian Founders secretly love!), where the technology that goes into the big line-up of models benefits of the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility right in the heart of Europe.
These bikes are a bit CHEEKY, they’re all about FUN, ROOSTING, they’re ready shred and ROCK – we reckon they’ll fit right into our Rocky Trail community vibe, literally boosting the GASGAS Electroflow™ into its next chapter of the Superflow® history.
You’ll be able to demo and test ride these awesome bikes at MANY events across NSW, VIC, QLD and the ACT, of course! Let’s go!
