Rolling Out in 2026: GRIT MTB Playing Cards

Mountain biking is a big part of our lives. It demands focus, skill, and grit. We have been participating in endurance MTB events for over a decade and wanted to do something special for our MTB community. So, we are excited to announce our new project.


Our new GRIT MTB Playing Cards combine our passion for MTB with the fun of card games, creating a collectible and playable deck that every biking enthusiast and card player will appreciate.


GRIT MTB Playing Cards

What Makes GRIT MTB Playing Cards Special


Unlike ordinary playing cards, the GRIT deck captures the essence of mountain biking through carefully crafted artwork and design elements. Here are some of the features:


  • Custom original illustrations of mountain bikers in action, by professional illustrator Greg Swearingen.

  • Detailed trail topography from real endurance mountain biking routes in the western USA (a different route on each Ace card).

  • Suit symbols carefully designed to represent tire tread.

  • Number cards with awesome tread-style patterns and texture (with increasingly difficult trick names)

  • Premium-quality cards with classic playing card finish, printed by a popular playing card manufacturer.


This deck is more than some cards for playing games; it’s a tribute to the grit and adventure that mountain bikers live for.


Who Will Love GRIT MTB Playing Cards


This deck is designed for:


  • Mountain bikers who want a unique way to celebrate their hobby

  • Card game enthusiasts looking for fresh, thematic decks

  • Collectors of niche playing cards with artistic and cultural value

  • Event organizers who want a unique podium prize or item for their merch tent

  • Bike shops that want to offer a fun MTB-themed gift item with low footprint


This deck will be perfect for race events, bike shops, and post-ride gatherings.


Why Kickstarter


Kickstarter is a crowdfunding site that will allow backers to pre-order their decks, receive detailed updates of the project status, and have a place to comment and share feedback. This helps ensure that the final product reflects the desires of its supporters.


Final artwork for the deck won't be locked down until after the Kickstarter campaign is complete. The GRIT deck is designed by riders for riders, so we look forward to seeing what an awesome product we can make together.


How You Can Support the Project


The Kickstarter campaign will launch in 2026, offering several ways to get involved:


  • Full Send specials with discounts for those who commit early (the first N backers)

  • Bundle offers for volume-based discounts (a gift idea for your whole team)

  • Sponsorship-level pledges that will let you include your business name on the promo card within each deck

  • Stretch goals that unlock additional content and upgrades based on funding milestones


Help shape the final product through feedback and community engagement!
