Gamux Announces its 2022 Factory Program
Press Release: Gamux Factory Racing
For 2022 and beyond, we have decided to do things our way. With our unique frame concept, an entirely Swiss rider line-up, and a fantastic group of partners and sponsors, we are looking forward to working on our long-term vision. We want to create the fastest bikes out there, and, in our eyes, this is only achievable if you push the limit in every aspect. The Downhill world cup represents the pinnacle of mountain biking and provides a highly competitive environment for us to test ourselves.
This video will be the first of many episodes dropping during the 2022 season. So make sure to follow us on our Social Media channels and visit us at the races! The series will take you along on our journey and show how we develop our bikes, work on equipment and grow as a tight-knit group of passionate bikers.
The Team
Lino Lehmann
Stats: Age: 19• Height: 192cm • Weight: 90kg•
At only 19 years of age, Lino is already quite the character. Never a dull moment with this young lad! But don't be fooled by his chilled nature; he is one fierce competitor and puts everything on the line come Sunday race run. In his first year with Gamux Factory Racing, Lino will be pushing hard to establish himself as a consistent finalist at all Word Cups in 2022 and grow his name in the sport.

Loris Michellod
Stats: Age: 22• Height: 177cm • Weight: 73kg•
With our chosen bike concept, we were heading into unknown territory. We had to rely on honest feedback and a rider that does not have premade opinions - something quite difficult to find since racers always want the fastest bike available. Loris does see the long-term goals and understands perfectly well that success is not created in an instance. He is a massive contributor to our bikes' development, a phenomenal racer, and an even better person. Welcome back Lolo! Let's go and prove that our work together can go a long way.

Mike Huter
Stats: Age: 15• Height: 184cm • Weight: 75kg•
His second year with the team is all about learning how to consistently deliver good race runs and best prepare for 2023 when joining the World Cup circuit as a junior. Still only 15 years of age, Mike has the speed of top elite riders already. Given the opportunity, Mike can put down a smoker that will blow people's heads. No doubt that Mike's natural competitiveness can take him a long way, and we are stoked to see him develop as an athlete and person.
