Rampage 2024 – It's a Wrap

The rugged desert landscape of Virgin, Utah once again set the stage for the Red Bull Rampage 2024 – freeride MTB athletes from all over the world came together, proving why they are the best of the best. With three riders representing PROPAIN and the first-ever women's Rampage, this year's edition had a lot to offer.

Red Bull Rampage 2024

This year, the Utah desert will once again be transformed into the setting for what is probably the toughest freeride event in the world - the Red Bull Rampage. We can't wait to cheer on the best riders in the sport live on site and in front of the screens from October 10th to 12th - with a very special premiere this year: For the first time in the history of the Red Bull Rampage, women will also be competing, including our athlete Cami Nogueira. We are also looking forward to seeing the runs of Carson Storch and Clemens Kaudela in the men's event.

TERREL CF – MAKE IT YOURS

Our first bike that is not a gravity mountain bike. The first bike with a drop bar - a big step and somehow we are supposedly "late to the party". If we take such a big step, then it has to be right. That's why we took our time, observed the development of the scene and the industry and are now bringing a product onto the market that we believe is the perfect modern gravel bike.

The All New Ekano 2 AL

Our goal for the new EKANO 2 AL was clear: a performance mountain bike that is THE fun machine for uphill and downhill! The handling of the e-freerider was the top priority during development. The bike should really feel at home on the "big stuff" without in any way conveying the usual clumsiness of e-bikes.

Phil Atwill x Ekano 2 AL

For the launch of our new EKANO 2 AL, we asked Phil Atwill between his World Cup races if he would like to try our new E-MTB and shred a few laps in the Schladming bike park. Of course, Phil Atwill didn't need to be asked twice and started riding straight away.

Welcome to the team, Cami Nogueira!

Originally from Argentina and currently based in Aspen, Colorado, Cami Nogueira has quickly made a name for herself on the scene.

The guys from the Los Hackos Crew actually wanted to go on a big road trip through southern Europe last summer. But then something called “Corona” put a stop to their plans.

E-bike weekend in the Swiss Alps

Three wishes at once?
“Yes, of course, Graubünden – endless kilometers of trails with mountain railway connections, in a very small space.”

See for yourself with this Shredit in the old Brannigan style. Have fun!
