Morgane Jonnier has announced on social media that changes are coming in 2024 after two seasons of riding for Rossignol Bikes.

In her post on Instagram Morgane states that "changes are coming, we adapt as always for our greatest pleasure, & I am still so excited to jump into the unknown." We don't know where Morgane will be ending up next year just yet, but we'll keep you updated when we learn more.

bigquotesTout est éphémère, on le sait bien, & c’est pour cette raison que l’on vit à 1000 à l’heure en profitant au maximum de ce que nous offre ce quotidien atypique. Au fils des années, je me suis entourée d’amis, et de partenaires bienveillants & de confiance, MERCI à cette grande & belle équipe. Je suis tellement reconnaissante pour tous les projets que l’on a réalisé, les expériences engrangées durant ces deux dernières saisons avec Rossignol Bikes.

Des changements s’annoncent, on s’adapte comme toujours pour notre plus grand plaisir, & je suis toujours autant excitée de sauter dans l’inconnu !— Morgane Jonnier

bigquotesEverything is ephemeral, we know it well, and it is for this reason that we live at 1000 miles an hour, making the most of what this atypical daily life offers us. Over the years, I have surrounded myself with friends, and caring & trusting partners, THANK YOU to this great & beautiful team. I am so grateful for all the projects we have carried out, the experiences gained over the last two seasons with Rossignol Bikes.

Changes are coming, we adapt as always for our greatest pleasure, & I am still so excited to jump into the unknown!— Morgane Jonnier - Translated

 I don’t even know Rossignol had a race team. I thought they just made rebranded generic bikes. Like a Jeep bike.

 The sister of an old world champ, not outstanding at riding bikes but somewhere around 10th place in EWS. The real issue is the future of enduro racing with a lot of teams disapearing

 @vtracer: i do remember at some point they offered exactly the same frames as Felt, just with different paintjob
not sure now as Felt dropped MTB entirely
  • 7 0
 They are popular as rental bikes at ski mountains that double as bike mountains in the summer. I’m guessing because of some existing relationship with rossignol. Rode one at Breckenridge two summers ago, honesty not bad bikes, sort of meh, but solid performers where the bikes don’t really hold you back. I enjoyed it.

 Even though there are deals to be had, I would like to announce that I am not making a change at this time. Keep a lookout in the comments sections for future updates as the bike environment has been shifting.

 I also find these numbers odd most top riders could ride most of those bikes and win. Sure one bike will fit a riders stile of riding style and thay may be a bit faster on it. But really it is a bunch of top tear riders that are very adaptable

 Gotta be a relief getting off such a turd of a bike. Rossi makes beautiful skis (at least in the French factory) but their bikes haven’t matched that level of excellence.

It’s one of the bike brands where I’d rather keep buying my own bikes than get a free Rossignol.
