Rider Profiles

We are extremely proud of our riders, who all ride at the highest level in the UK and at selected events on the European Circuit.

Tom Hawkins

Tom is in the Junior Category in 2025. This is for riders in the year of their 17th and 18th Birthday. He had a tough start to the season, picking up a wrist injury early on at Fort William. Undeterred, after missing a couple of rounds he fought back to form finishing on the podium in his last three races including a win at the last round of the British Down Hill Series at Revolution Bike Park. Interesting fact? Tom is colourblind.. So he might be wearing red or pink Ride Concepts!

Kieran competes in the Adult Elite Category, currently the highest level for British Downhill Racing. Every race this year has been a personal best, and he is comfortably on track for a top ten overall in his first season. His consistency has been unreal and we are all blown away by what he has achieved. Kieran has a special power - he can sleep at any time and any place. I'm mean like anywhere :-)). Ohh and his dad might mention his ability to damage the odd component ;)

Franco is our youngest rider. He races the Juvenile category for riders in the year of their 13th and 14th Birthday. Franco started the year aiming for top ten finishes, and ended the year scrapping for a podium finally making it onto the steps at the last race. We are all hugely proud of him. Interesting fact? He has a big head.. No really, he has the biggest helmet in the team by some margin - Size XL Speed and brains :-))
