Mountain Bike Parts & Accessories — Everything Your MTB Needs

Whether you're upgrading your current build, replacing worn components, or speccing a new mountain bike from the ground up, this is your one-stop collection for high-performance MTB parts and accessories. From drivetrain components and brakes to cockpit upgrades and trail-ready accessories, every product here is selected for real-world off-road performance and long-term reliability.

Quality Components for Every MTB Discipline

Mountain biking demands more from your components than almost any other discipline. Rough trails, steep descents, mud, rocks, and repeated impacts put every part of your bike under stress. That's why we stock components from trusted brands alongside Silverback-spec parts — chosen for the right balance of weight, durability, and performance across XC, trail, and enduro riding styles.

What You'll Find in This Collection

Drivetrain & Transmission

Chains, cassettes, cranksets, derailleurs, and shifters for 1x and 2x MTB drivetrains. Compatible with Shimano and SRAM groupsets across a wide range of speeds and price points. Browse our full bike components range for the complete selection.

Brakes & Brake Parts

Hydraulic disc brake systems, brake pads, rotors, and levers engineered for consistent stopping power in wet, muddy, and high-speed conditions. Reliable braking is non-negotiable on the trail.

Wheels, Tyres & Suspension

Rims, hubs, spokes, and complete wheelsets built for trail abuse. Paired with a wide selection of MTB tyres in various tread patterns and widths to match your terrain — from hardpack XC to loose enduro trails.

Cockpit: Bars, Stems & Grips

Handlebars, stems, grips, and bar ends to dial in your riding position and control. The right cockpit setup improves confidence on technical terrain and reduces fatigue on long rides.

Saddles & Seatposts

Comfortable, durable saddles and seatposts for trail riding. Explore our dedicated saddle collection for ergonomic options designed for longer rides and e-bike use.

Trail Accessories

Mudguards, bottle cages, bike computers, bike locks, and bikepacking gear to make your MTB trail-ready and adventure-capable.

Upgrade Tips from the Trail

Tyres first — the single biggest performance upgrade for most riders. Match tread pattern to your most common terrain.
Brakes second — fresh pads and bled hydraulics transform descending confidence.
Drivetrain third — a worn chain stretches your cassette and chainring. Replace the chain regularly to protect the rest of the drivetrain.
Cockpit last — once the bike is running well, fine-tune bar width, stem length, and grip feel for your riding style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What MTB parts should I upgrade first?

Start with tyres and brakes — these have the biggest impact on trail performance and safety. Tyres affect grip, rolling resistance, and confidence on technical terrain. Brakes determine how well you can control speed on descents. Once those are dialed in, consider drivetrain components (chain, cassette) and cockpit upgrades (bars, grips) to fine-tune your setup.

Are these parts compatible with all mountain bikes?

Most components in this collection follow industry-standard specifications (e.g., Shimano/SRAM compatibility, standard axle sizes, ISO disc brake mounts). Always check your bike's specific standards before ordering — particularly for bottom brackets, axle widths, and brake mount types. If you're unsure, check your bike's manual or contact us.

What is the difference between hardtail and full-suspension MTB components?

Hardtail MTBs (front suspension only) use simpler, lighter component setups and are easier to maintain. Full-suspension bikes add a rear shock and linkage system, which requires additional maintenance but delivers more traction and comfort on rough terrain. Most drivetrain, brake, and cockpit components are compatible with both platforms.

How often should I replace my MTB chain?

Replace your chain every 500–1,000 km depending on riding conditions, lubrication habits, and chain wear. Use a chain wear indicator tool to check stretch — a worn chain accelerates wear on your cassette and chainring, making replacement far more expensive. Riding in mud and wet conditions shortens chain life significantly.

Do I need special tools to install MTB components?

Basic component swaps (grips, saddle, pedals, brake pads) require minimal tools and are beginner-friendly. More complex jobs — like bleeding hydraulic brakes, pressing a bottom bracket, or setting up tubeless tyres — require specific tools and some mechanical knowledge. For complex work, a professional bike shop service is recommended.

What tyre width is best for mountain biking?

Most trail and enduro riders run 2.3–2.5" tyres for a good balance of grip, cushioning, and rolling speed. XC racers often prefer narrower 2.1–2.25" tyres for lower weight and faster rolling. Wider tyres (2.5"+) offer more traction and comfort on rough terrain but add weight. Tyre choice should match your terrain and riding style more than any single "best" width.
