KENDA TIRES: Throughout the past seasons the team has acquired great experience in tire development. For a few months now, team riders have started to ride their new Kenda prototypes and they have shown huge potential. So the team is really excited to work with Kenda especially because they are working on new technologies and also helping developing some new gravity racing tires. For us their is no doubt the team will soon hit podiums on Kenda tires.
BOX COMPONENTS PROMAX: We always like it when there is a challenge, something new, innovative. BOX components is definitely on the same page as us and that’s why we teamed up with them to develop and race their new shifting and derailleur system. We really appreciate working with such passionate people.
