The Jester meets a rider who stands for nothing but good times and tonnes of laughs.
Ben Deakin, a rider we’ve been lucky enough to work with since 2017, is known for his all-out good vibes embodied by the now-infamous catchphrase “Oi Oi!”.
Prior to being the man that rides his bike professionally for fun, Deaks was a Royal Marine commando and this snow camo pattern pays homage to his time serving in the forces.
Complete with ZEISS Trail Lenses, a hard case and a microfibre bag, the Deaks signature is one of our best-looking colourways to date and is at your service to take on the trail.

If you haven’t come across one of the many self-edited Youtube vlogs from Deaks then you’re missing out!
A true British MTB icon, Deaks travels the world enjoying nothing but good time with his mates as they tear up trails across the globe.
Perhaps the biggest part of shaping Deak’s approach to riding is his experience as a Royal Marine Commando, specifically in Afghanistan where he was shot whilst out on patrol. This experience gave him perspective on what is most important in his life leading to him making his love for two wheels his full-time career.
