Who we are

Not a shop. Not a courier.
Not a content brand.

Modern Savage is rider-side. We do not sell you a bike, we do not move freight, and we are not here to sell you a feed. We work on the equipment you already own and the way you ride it, so both do more of what you want.

  • No sales pressure
  • No affiliate noise
  • No obligation to proceed

The core session

Trailhead Fit + Suspension Setup

Your bike and your body, set up together and proven on the trail. Most setups fix one and ignore the other. We do both in one session, then ride it to confirm.

Ergon fit, integrated

A proper ergonomic fit with the Ergon MTB Expert system, built around your suspension, not bolted on after.

Data-verified tuning

We tune with ShockWiz data, not guesswork. Every change is measured, and every measurement is repeatable.

Proven on your trail

Sag, spring rate, and balance front to rear, ridden and confirmed on your local trail before you leave.

What's in the session

One session. Two hours. On your trail.

An integrated fit and suspension session, run on-trail. This is not a full studio fit, and it is not meant to be. It is the fit and suspension work that actually changes how the bike rides, done together and proven in real dirt.

  • Contact points and ergonomic fit with the Ergon MTB Expert system
  • Suspension baseline: sag, spring rate, and balance front to rear
  • ShockWiz data logging and interpretation across real trail
  • One change at a time, ridden and confirmed, until it is dialled
  • Written notes so you can repeat the setup yourself

The method is simple. Baseline it, ride a repeatable section, change one thing, ride again, keep what works. You leave with a setup you understand and can reset yourself.

Available from October

The origin

Ötzi was on the mountain before anyone was watching. He still is.

We recognise him in the rider who shows up when the conditions give everyone else a reason not to. It is not what he does. It is what he is.

Not sure where to start?

The wrong bike costs you more than money.

A bad fit costs you rides, confidence, and cash you will not get back. A Suitability Assessment is the low-stakes way to check before you commit. You fill out an online form, we read it properly, and you get a written PDF back. No calls, no pressure, and sometimes the honest answer is not to buy at all.
