In 2017 Radon Bikes started a new MTB World Cup Racing project.
Well… 2 new projects, in the form of 2 teams.
The Radon Bikes World Cup set-up is one of a kind. It’s the only set-up on the circuit with a XC team and a DH Team under on big roof. Both teams, the Radon Factory XC and DH, are linked to each other by the big mama in the middle “Radon Bikes” Lenzerheide (CH) was the first dual World Cup event of the season were both teams worked together under one roof.
On the left side of the pit, DH mechanics were working on the Swoop200 DH machine,
as on the other side the XC mechanics were preparing the super light Jealous XC for racing.
At the same time coffee was being served in the center part of the team area.
It was amazing to see that riders as Manon Carpenter (DH) and Mathias Flückiger (XC), who come from complete different worlds, got more and more respect from each other over the weekend, trying to learn from another, and motivate another.
Mathias even showed some DH influence 😉
Enjoy our cross-over video!
