Dirt Works was born out of a passion for riding the dirt over 12 years ago, and although what defines mountain biking has changed, and continues to change, our passion remains the same. If we sell it, we've used it on the dirt, and can vouch for it's performance. We’ve dealt with the same dirt, rocks, punctures & bruises as you. We've been there. We understand.
Our very first shipment of Niner gear has arrived. Dirt Works Australia is proud to be partnered with Niner bikes in Australia. Our very first shipment is here and we're pretty damn excited to say the least!
At Niner... It’s more than just a name. It’s a passion. The 29” wheeled bike isn’t just a token in their line-up. It is their one and only love, the heart and soul out there on the trail. It’s 100% comitment to a wheel size they believe in, to impeccable designs and exquisite ride quality. It’s a dedication they want to share with you on every ride.

Surly release their anniversary edition 1x1 Rat Ride bike.
Rocket To The Future
Before we had the name Surly, we were called 1X1 for about a year while we tried to decide how to jump out of the nest and fly. Our first frame (one of our first products, period) was the 1X1 Rat Ride, a singlespeed-specific mountain bike frame. People liked it because it worked real well. So well, in fact, that we still offer that frame today (with a few updates) as the Surly 1X1. We’ve noticed that people sometimes now use the term 1X1 to refer in general to singlespeed stuff, the way people call all facial tissue Kleenex. That’s how much impact this frame has had.
And now the company that started out with good products instead of a fancy name is turning eleven years old, and that made us think: we should do something nice, something that can showcase a few of the things we’ve created over the years, and in so doing smash the What Was into the Where We Is Now to create a rocket to the future aimed, as we aim all things, ever forward but never straight.
With that in mind we proudly offer you, the freaks who have come along for the ride, the Surly Rat Ride 11 year anniversary limited edition complete bike. Let’s review what it is:
Our very first shipment of the long anticipated DT Swiss forks have arrived in the building. In stock now are the XMC forks in 26" - 100mm and 130mm w/QR 9mm axle and the XMC 130 in 15mm axle. The XMC also comes in a 80mm and 100mm 29er model! EXC forks are in stock in 150mm w/15mm axle only. And the racers favourite, the XRC comes in both 80mm and 100mm travel in a QR 9mm axle only.
EXC Forks - The EXC150 fork offers a full 150mm for extra travel reserves in rough terrain, while the 15mm thru-axle increases the stiffness, allowing the rider greater control over the bike. All EXC forks feature Air spring, coil negative spring, open oil bath. Adjustments include rebound, compression, Launch Control, launch control threshold. • Choose from QR or NEW 15mm RWS axle. • EXC150 RTLC 150mm/6", 1650g. • EXC150 RTLC-15 150mm/6", 1750g.
XMC Forks - XMC forks allow you to build a speedy race bike as well as a comfy All-Mountain bike. Lower weight and increased stiffness = XM versatility. Long climbs are easily conquered with the fork locked and lowered. All XCM forks feature an air spring, coil negative spring, open oil bath. Adjustments include rebound, compression, Launch Control, launch control threshold. • Choose from QR or NEW 15mm RWS axle. • XMC100 RTLC 100mm/4", 1550g. • XMC130 RTLC 130mm/5", 1600g. • XMC130 RTLC 15 130mm/5", 1750g (inc’ 15mm RWS axle). • 29er XMC80 29er RTLC 80mm/3", 1650g. • 29er XMC100 29er RTLC 100mm/4", 1650g.
XRC Forks - Since every gram counts in a race, DT’s suspension engineers work closely with professional cross country racers (like Thomas Frischknecht and the entire Swisspower team) to ensure that the performance and durability of their suspension products are cutting edge. Both XCR forks feature air spring, coil negative spring, open oil bath. Adjustments include Rebound + Lockout (remote fitted ex-factory). • XRC80 RL fork 80mm/3", 1380g • XRC100 RL fork 100mm/4", 1380g
After an extended holiday away from our sunny shores... the popular Answer ProTaper range of handlebars is back!

Purple Extreme - Finally, a premium grade industrial chain lubricant for the cycling market. The highest mileage, cleanest running, greatest friction reducing and best value you have ever seen in a chain lube. Purple Extreme is the breakthrough product that changes the paradigm of what you can expect from cycling lubrication. It stops chain wear from the inside out. The time has come for a superior all-conditions lubricant.
Purple Extreme is an advanced, high performance, synthetic bike chain lubricant. It provides excellent protection for chains, open gears and exposed metal surfaces subjected to severe loading. In addition, it works extremely well even in abrasive, cold, wet or acidic environments. Purple Extreme's additive technology forms a slippery, super-tough, synthetic film on metal surfaces that protects drivetrain parts far beyond the ability of conventional oils or waxes.
Golden Degreaser - Cleaning your bike made fast and easy… Golden Degreaser puts an end to the drudgery and difficulty of cleaning your bike. Now it is fast and easy for anyone to get professional results in just minutes.
When cleaning your bike, you need the speed… Golden Degreaser is the breakthrough product that can clean a cassette in 6 seconds or less. New chain packing grease just melts away and even the dirtiest drivetrain parts come clean fast. Golden Degreaser is formulated to instantly combine with water for a rapid wash off with no residue. Your drivetrain will sparkle in record time.
Tools at a minimum…Using Golden Degreaser is easy! All you need is a small brush to scrub your cassette, chain and rings. Put some Golden Degreaser on the parts, then on the brush and scrub. Within seconds, the old lube and dirt just dissolve. Rinse off with a fine spray of water to completely remove all traces of the degreaser and old deposits. In case there is no access to running water, you can completely wash a drivetrain with as little as a single quart of water in a sprayer bottle when using Golden Degreaser.

Dirt Works is proud to announce that we are soon to be the authorised agents in Australia for Push Industries. Darren Murphy of Push and Dirt Works have a long history and the two are a natural fit.
Push have gained a deserved reputation as the magic workers of bicycle suspension. Send them an off-the-shelf product and they'll customise it for you using their own proprietry internals to suit your own riding style and needs. However until this partnership, that simply wasn't an option for Australian riders.
Push currently perform work on Rockshox, Fox and Marzocchi rear shocks and Rockshox and Fox forks. Stay tuned and we'll be advising when we're ready to start "Pushing" your forks and shocks.
Our first shipment of Race Face products has arrived. Cranks, bars, stems, seatposts, bottom brackets, headsets and chainrings are all in stock right now.
Dirt Works is proud to announce that we now represent Xtracycle. The North Californian company is one of the highest profile bike-ridin' activist / environmentalist / concerned human-being companies in the world. The Xtracycle or Free Radical as it is known, acts like a bike but works like a truck.
The FreeRadical comes with everything needed for seamlessly adding a boot and a backseat to your bicycle. It is an attachment for your bicycle that deftly shifts your rear wheel back 15 inches and transforms your existing bike into a Sport Utility Bicycle.
Imagine your favourite bike with the rear wheel stretched out behind the seat, a big, stable platform for a load or a passenger, and elegant saddlebags on either side that are expandable when you need them and are cleanly out of the way when you don't. Best of all, your bike is still lightweight and fast, and because the load is centred between your two wheels, the whole package handles with ease. Suddenly you have much less need or desire to drive around town for your errands.

FirstBIKE was introduced to Australia in 2005 and has become
extremely popular amongst parents (and grandparents!) seeking that
different, developmentally beneficial, and memorable toy for their
little one. FirstBIKE now sports a brake that's custom-designed for
small hands, and as of late 2007, FirstBIKE is now also available in pink. Far more than a toy... FirstBike is a genuine learning aid that is made in Germany.
FirstBIKE is the perfect training bike for developing your
child's sense of balance and motor skills. It is the ideal companion
for walks and discovery journeys, because already young children can
keep up with their parents' walking speed without any trouble.
FirstBIKE's design features:
1) a low centre of gravity (compared with pedal bikes that require pedal clearance);
2) low weight for easy transport & handling;
3) a built-in steering stop limits the sideways rotation of the handlebars & fork, so little fingers don't get crushed;
4) a rear drum brake operated by a handlebar-mounted lever (which
2-year-olds don't have the strength to use, but older children can);
5) tool-free adjustable seat height, so the bike grows with your child;
6) FirstBIKE lets children learn to balance on 2 wheels in a gradual and
non-threatening way, without picking up poor balance habits from
training wheels. So when they get their first pedal bike, they already
know how to balance on 2 wheels and just have to learn to pedal.
7) high-quality, smooth-rolling and durable cartridge bearings in the
hubs, versus plain bushings or rough cup/cone bearings in typical
children's bikes.
A realistic guideline for the minimum age is that: 1) the child can
walk; and 2) is tall enough to comfortably straddle the bike.
On the solid-tyre FirstBike "Street Innovation" with blue or pink
frame & black seat/grips, the minimum seat height is 36 centimetres
from the ground, with a "usable" standover height of about 38-40cm.
The other model, the FirstBike "Cross Innovation" with grey or
pink frame & red seat/grips, has a taller standover height (by an
extra 2cm or so) because of its higher-profile, inflatable tyres. The
suggested retail price is $329.
The optional FirstBIKE lowering kit (RRP $40) reduces the minimum ride height by about 4cm.
