If you are a downhill pro rider you know that brakes are a huge part of your set up. You spend a lot of time to find the perfect feeling, the perfect balance between power and modulation. Once you have found the sweet spot you’re never too keen to try something different, specially during a world cup race weekend. There are not so many world cup races in a season, everything must be perfect, there’s no room for experimentations two days before your race run. Particularly if we’re talking about a sensitive component like the brakes.

In June of 2016, at the World Cup downhill in Leogang, we decided to have six riders test a brake they had never ridden. We asked them to try a completely new brake on their first run down the hill on the first day of practice. Then we asked them if they loved it or hates it. We left them free to race the new brakes or stay on what they were used to.

Six riders out of six decided to race the Cura brakes after they tested them for the very first time on the first day of practice in Leogang.

They all kept the Cura brakes for the rest of the season.

This is a true, unaltered , faithful documentation of their first impression.

The Cura won the bronze medal in Val di Sole at its very first world championships thanks to an amazing run from Florent Payet.

Voici enfin les images des temps forts de la Rampage. Du shape à la finale en passant par les entrainements. Avec surtout des images qui permettent de mieux se rendre compte de la technicité des lignes des pilotes. Another epic year of Red Bull Rampage is on the books. People questioned if progression was possible while returning to dirt jumps and removing wooden features. The performance all the riders put forth this year answered that question, with Antoine Bizet landing a double backfli...

What’s it like to walk away from a crash at Rampage? Kyle Strait knows - it takes more than a little spill to sideline this beast of a freerider. In his second run after throwing a massive cliff-drop backflip, he gets offline and crashes hard into his next feature. Strait pops right back up, and the crowd loses it. We were stoked to see the energy between the riders and fans at this year’s Rampage - and MAD respect to all the riders who put it on the line for the sake of going BIG.

Redbull nous présente l'homme qui a fait de la Rampage un évènement historique. Josh Bender! Meet the Man Who Inspired Red Bull Rampage. Without a doubt, he's the gnarliest mountain biker who ever lived. MTB's first daredevil. He is the reason Red Bull Rampage exists. He is Josh Bender. The man who refers to himself in third person put Virgin, Utah, on the map long before it became known as a freeride mecca. With trademark "huck and hope" mentality, hockey shoulder pads and a bizarre Karp...

La course de VTT de descente la plus folle c'est la Red Bull Hardline... The bravest and best downhill mountain bikers descended upon Dan Atherton’s notorious Hardline course in the remote Welsh mountains for an epic display of mountain bike progression and racing. In short, this course is F***ing crazy. Steep drops, technical rock gardens, monster road gaps... the list of gnarly features goes on, but when the world's best come together to race on the track, there's no doubt the turnout a...

There are two eras of freeride mountain biking: Pre-Claw and After-Claw — Darren "Bearclaw" Berrecloth simply came into the an already exciting scene and blew the doors wide open.

The last of four practice days before the Red Bull Rampage 2016 final pushed riders to face the gnarliest aspects of their lines and either conquer them or have a long, restless night knowing they'd left features unridden. Not surprisingly, some of the most incredible riding of the week went down, as you can see in the video above.

The master of all things mountain biking, Brandon Semenuk, sends himself down one of the gnarliest lines from Rampage 2016 - stomping huge backflips, a massive flatspin, all while pinning it down some insanely exposed trail. Hats off to Semenuk for laying down an incredible winning run, and perhaps one of the best in Rampage history.

De la construction aux premiers essais, découvrez les coulisses de ce drop très engagé qui a nécessité la mobilisation de 4 équipes complètes pour le réaliser. The 2016 edition of Red Bull Rampage brings with it several changes aimed at making the experience the best it can be for everyone involved. Among them, the number of competitors has been reduced to feature 21 of the world's best big-mountain riders, each of whom will bring a two-man dig crew with them. That makes for fewer people...
