DOWNHILL RACING

Entering into the MTB market in 2013 and starting to work together with Specialized Gravity in 2017 has proven successful, winning 3 World Cup titles and 4 World Championships together with Loic Bruni to date. 

The tight relationship allows us to test new technology and get valuable feedback from the world’s top riders. Having a presence at all races helps us keep our ear to the ground and collect input from all the riders out on the trails.
