LET’S GO RACING

It's here. The thing we've been waiting for since the last gate dropped in 2025, the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series is back, and RockShox is back with it, returning for a second year as a proud series partner. This is where it all happens: the fastest, loudest, most unpredictable weeks on a mountain bike calendar. And this page is your all-access pass to follow it. All season long, we'll be dropping content you won't find anywhere else, updates, behind-the-scenes moments, and everything in between. Because let's be honest: we'd all quit our jobs and follow the entire World Cup circus around the globe in person if we could. Most of us can't. But this is the next best thing. Buckle up, it's going to be a good one.

RockShox believes racing is the heart of mountain bike culture.

THE RUNDOWN FROM MONA YONGPYONG

History was made before a single rider dropped in. South Korea marked the first-ever Asian UCI XCO and XCC World Cup rounds, and the first UCI Downhill World Cup on the continent in 25 years, the last time racing came to this part of the world, it was Arai Mountain in Japan, back in 2001.

The sport showed up to match the moment. On the DH side, Vali Höll, 4X Elite World Champion and 4X UCI Mountain Bike World Cup overall winner, now racing for Commencal Schwalbe by Les Orres, did exactly what she does, topping the women's field on a brand-new track that no one had ever ridden. Junior Aletha Ostgaard also had a day, winning the junior women's race with the fastest women's time on the hill, 0.841 seconds ahead of Höll's winning run. File that one away for next season. And then there's Amaury Pierron: up at every split and on pace for the win before a crash in the fourth sector, he got back up and crossed the line in third. Was he on his way to the top step? We'll never know. Loudenvielle is next. And it won't be long before we find out what he's really capable of this season. More from the team below.

RACE-DAY MIX:
BJORN RILEY


What's in Scott-SRAM MTB Racing Team's Bjorn Riley's ears before he charges a World Cup course? Something that slows the world down first. There's a stillness to his current rotation that says less about blocking out the noise and more about finding the quiet underneath it.


Press play and get to riding, then go see what happens when dry and fast turns wet and wild. Nobody predicted how South Korea would unfold. That's racing. Bjorn's latest vlog, BJORN VS KOREA 1, has the full story.

FAST IS INSANE!”

“I think with the new suspension, we’re entering a new phase for RockShox—both in how it works and how it develops our overall performance. We can fine‑tune everything. It’s super smooth, and you can sharpen every detail.”

“We worked this winter on building a better overall bike. With the new suspension and frame updates, Amaury is now riding the Vivid Coil, which has allowed us to get exactly where we want to be. That’s been a big step
for him."

"The entire team runs an Ochain and we like the adjustability of it. Amaury typically runs a 6° or 9° setting, depending on the track."
