As for riders, we’re stoked to continue with our same and favourite members!

ALEXANDRE FAYOLLE
I’m really happy to be back racing for another season with the Polygon UR Team, we’ve done some great testing sessions with new products this winter and I feel really well on the bike. I can’t wait to start the season and see how it goes — Alexandre Fayolle
KENTA GALLAGHER
Happy to be with the Polygon UR Team for a second year, 2017 was a year I’d like to forget due to all the injuries so I’m looking forward to getting 2018 underway and getting faster and stronger as the year progresses! — Kenta Gallagher
FABIEN “COUSCOUS” COUSINIÉ
It feels really good to start this season with the same group of riders and consolidate the hard work that everyone has done last year. We still have a couple of big goals on our calendar and that for sure makes it a super exciting season for everyone! On my riding side this year I’ll take you on a new video series to hopefully motivate you to travel with your bike more often, stay tuned! — Fabien Cousinié
All our riders will only be able to race at the top level thanks to our amazing hard working staff!
Team Sponsors
We are proud to welcome three new sponsors; Promax, Smanie and M2O Industries.
We welcome Promax Components for handlebars, stems, seatposts and gear housing. Promax is part of a leading group manufacturing bike components; we are actively working with them to develop high-end components while keeping them affordable for all riders. We learnt a lot from the past few years and we will bring our experience to develop some new technologies on Promax products. It’s a really exciting challenge!
Smanie saddles really want to push into the mountain bike high-end market and we are going to work on product development with cool custom designs and new features!
We will be working with the new Australian brand M2O industries, which will support the team with riding compression socks. This will help riders on recovery as well as on the performance side.
We are also thrilled to continue our partnership with all the brands that have been supporting us for the past few years
As far as the racing schedule, you’ll find the Polygon UR Team at all DH world cups, all Crankworx, selected EWS, other fun events and festivals.
During the Crankworx Redwoods DH yesterday, Tracey went over the bars. After a check with a doctor, she was advised not to compete after a concussion and to stay off the bike for a week. Tracey will take the rest she needs and we will see her back in Croatia!
