Brett Tippie joins ROTOR Athlete Roster

ROTOR Bike Components is proud to add Freeride legend Brett Tippie to their roster of athletes.

Regarded as one of the pioneers of Freeride mountain biking, Tippie’s infectious grin offsets his

penchant for hitting the steepest terrain around. When he’s not dropping in on big lines, Brett

hosts Redbull Rampage, Sea Otter festivities, opening day at Whistler Bike Park and the

Crankworx event series. His social media offers his followers a glimpse of what it’s like to shred

around the globe, while keeping a humorous slant.

Growing up in Kamloops, BC, Tippie is known for bringing his hard-charging riding style

wherever he goes. “There is no one else like Brett Tippie,” says North American Brand Manager

Lori Barrett. “He rides the biggest, gnarliest terrain you’ve ever seen, and you always know

where he is because of his laugh! He’ll be a great partner for ROTOR as we develop our focus on

mountain bike product.”

"I am very excited to work with ROTOR and play a helpful role in advancing their presence in

the North American market,” Tippie said. “I love that ROTOR has a long standing tradition of

scientific testing and validation to support their technology. I will continue doing my own

scientific testing riding the goods in BC (night and day) on the wet, rain forested, tech trails of

the north shore and deserty, dry big mountain lines in Kamloops!"

Brett Tippie will be riding the new ROTOR RHawk & RRaptor gravity cranks & chain rings

launching in North America this month. With the idea of creating a future-proof system, both

RHawk & RRaptor are modular, meaning the crank, chain ring & axle all can be separated to

allow for easy switches between bikes, as axle standards continue to evolve.

Bringing a North American presence to a roster that includes Cedric Gracia & Jordi Bago, Tippie

will continue with long-time sponsors Rocky Mountain Bicycles, SR Suntour, Maloja & IXS

Sports.
