The win-win relationship between SRAM and our athletes strengthens year after year as we help each other reach our goals. The young, then 19, Danny Hart demonstrated an explosive style during the 2011 DH world championships aboard SRAM, RockShox, Avid and Truvativ underlining the fact that RockShox has won more than 66 elite downhill world cups and 11 world championships. That’s more than any other fork made, period.

It’s no surprise that our athletes are as passionate and enthused about riding as we are. They take our product to the levels that it was designed for. Brandon Semenuk pushed the slopestyle envelope at the 2011 Crankworx Whistler with his podium boosting flip whip proving that his brute strength, style, and diverse skill match seamlessly with his SRAM, RockShox, Avid and Truvativ components.

As mountain biking continues to evolve it is important to address product demand allowing riders to go bigger, faster, and longer. The fact that Jérôme Clementz won both the multi-day Trans-Provence and Italian Superenduro aboard SRAM, Rockshox, Avid, and Truvativ proves that we’re on point.
