Bird AERIS 9 Introduction

We spent the day with Calum checking out his Custom Bird Aeris 9 Enduro Trail slaying build on some of Scotlands driest trials at the time of filming. This is a seriously great value bike with loads of custom options when ordering directly from Bird. Thanks to Doug for filming and editing this!

Calum has been putting the bike through it's paces proving it to be capable of mixing it up in the dizzy heights of the Enduro World Cups.

His consistency this year has seen Calum score some impressive results on board the Aeris 9.
