Norco Bicycles is proud to announce its continued support of the reigning King and Queen of Crankworx, Adrien Loron and Jill Kintner. With countless podiums in the past decade in a variety of disciplines including Downhill, Dual Slalom, Pump Track, and Dual Speed & Style, Adrien and Jill have proven themselves to be the most dominant, versatile and accomplished gravity riders in the world. We could not be more excited for the race season ahead.

Here’s what Olympic medalist and MTB World Champion Jill Kintner had to say about re-signing with Norco Bicycles and her goals and aspirations for the upcoming race season:

bigquotesI think consistency and solid relationships lead to success, so re-signing with Norco gives me confidence in what I am doing! The bikes are amazing in every category, so it’s a real advantage to have a fleet of bikes dialed in before the season even begins.Jill Kintner

The two world-class mountain bikers will rely on the Norco Aurum, Range, Optic and Rampage to defend their King and Queen titles in 2018.

In addition to all four stops of the Crankworx World Tour in Rotorua, Innsbruck, Les Gets and Whistler, Jill and Adrien will compete in select national and international events. Always looking for the next challenge, Jill is even planning on trying a new discipline towards the end of the summer.

bigquotesThe Crankworx overall is my main focus as it challenges a diverse set of skills racing so many events and has amazing coverage. I will also compete in a few bigger North American events, media projects, sponsor events, and the last two EWS rounds at the end of summer!! Should be a pretty fun year.Jill Kintner

 Wacthed Jill Kitner drop into a CDC stage last fall. Not sure what the EWS pace is, but we were humbled at the gate for sure.

 With the plateau in mountain bike sales in general, Jill is a very wise investment for Norco, especially in growing the women's segment of their business. Show me a better ambassador for any brand right now ? if they had half a brain they'd sign her for the next six years and give her the resources and charge of growing that market opportunity. Jill totally kicks ass and inspires everyone she comes in contact with - experientially speaking, that's what brands will need to be remotely relevant with consumers for the foreseeable future.

 There's a front page article on PB today about him delivering a Norco to a (very deserving) video contest winner - I'm guessing that's pretty indicative, no?
