:DC Gravity Syndicate Team and Solo Rider Assistance package
: Race Timing System and Equipment Rental
We came together with DC Cycles back in 2019 to form the Syndicate with Top level support from Saracen Bikes , RC Componets .100% Percent to name a few. The back bone was to provide a top level competitive bike and rider platform with full race team backed mechanics Denham having spannered for Ethan Craig and Jamie for Peaty & Ratboy with the Santacruz SPS team. We had a truck full of spares and even spare frames and bikes avaliable should we need them. . Malc co-ordinated the rider support heading up top for race runs etc, We had coaching from Elliott Heap and his brother at Revs to get the team fired up. 3 years saw the team progress and bring home some big wins.
The team is a Syndicate platform where you Pay into the team which is about the retail cost of the bikes but you actually walk away with the bike along with head to toe kit including helmet-gloves-goggles-shoes-2xpants and2xjersey plus our mechanics on call too provide race support and any spares that you may need at our team cost basis.
The team then moved onto a new Deal with Nukeproof / Michelin / Leatt but with Covid hitting Downhill hard the team struggled to get going again and a Hyatus ensued upto 2024.
The Team is looking to step back into the mix but with a younger Squad this time and see if we can get some of the youngster’s onto a flying start for 2025 and beyond. If your intrested get in-touch soon as once the 4 slots are filled that;s it!
Gravity Events can’t help many riders but every now and again something clicks and we just have to step in and help a rider out. Wether that’s too put a word in with some of the larger teams , bring a brand and rider together or simply put our selves forward and assist a rider where we can. These riders form part of our brand ambassador status and can have a package deal worth £1000’s.
