The Propain Factory Racing Team has an exciting season ahead of it! This year the team will be present at all World Cup stops and will send three of the best downhill riders to the race. We are pleased to announce the line-up for this year.
On the one hand, we have the young Luke Meier-Smith, who is entering his second elite season. The Australian-born rider has already proven his skills this year with various victories and podiums in his home country. He also managed to finish in the top 20 in his first elite season last year. We can hardly wait to see what Luke has in store for us!
Remy Meier-Smith is Luke's younger brother and has no reason to hide behind him. Remy is still competing in the junior category this season. He also had a fantastic start to the season with a win at the Australian Downhill Championships. The brothers give each other no quarter and always push themselves to their limits and beyond. We are very excited to see what Remy can do in the junior category this season.
Henry Kerr is in his sixth year with the team and is as motivated as ever. Last season he caused a stir with some top placings. The fast Irishman will show what he can do again this year and we are really looking forward to seeing him back on the race track.
This year the team has been able to gain a few new well-known sponsors. Since PROPAIN is a German bicycle company and works closely with many German brands to equip the bikes, it was obvious that this would be reflected in the team's list of sponsors. We are happy about our new sponsors. Claustrophobia supplies the clothing, IXS equips the boys with protection, Ride Concepts ensures non-slip footwear and CushCore is on the starting line with tire inserts and valves. With this support, the team has reliable and proven partners at their side who bring years of racing experience.
Many thanks to all our sponsors who support the team and make it possible to race again!

This year the Propain Factory Racing Team will again be at the new Rage With a mixed or full 29 setup, the bike can be easily adapted to different riding styles and routes. As far as the components for this season are concerned, the sponsors remain the same and CushCore provides puncture-proof tires.
