The Spanish Championship is always an opportunity to catch up with some of the best riders in the world. Benito, Abel, Dani and co. are always there to put on a show and make the event more memorable. This year, as well as the riders, it was Abel Mustieles’ new bike that was drawing the crowds; A special AMG edition Monty M5 carbon We had the chance to scrutinise the bike quite closely while we were there, and we liked what we saw.
The AMG edition will be a bit different to the standard model. Firstly, the look is unique, mixing factory-looking decals and red, black and white graphics. Nice! It will be available in front disc or double HS33 versions (with a non-disc hub on the HS33 version to save a bit of weight). The spokes will be titanium, with rims prepared by AMG and over-sized nipples. The brakes will be bled and set up exactly like Abel’s.
No doubt, then, that this special edition M5 is a luxury model, especially as each one will be set up by Abel himself! This model will also only be available from his shop, AMG Bikes.

Watch this space!
