RockShox + WHOOP UCI MTB World Series

THAT'S A WRAP.

The final round of the UCI World Cup wrapped up this weekend in Lake Placid, New York. Coming off the high of Whistler, there was a collective sleepiness to start, but the moment the lights went green, we witnessed some of the closest sprint finishes seen in XC and some of the most dramatic rounds of DH qualifying all season.

Our teams and staff have travelled the world this season, from South Korea through Europe and now wrapping up with three incredible rounds of racing in North America. Every year the level rises, and every year we leave with more awe and reverence for our athletes and more love for the sport. It's often the smaller, sometimes mundane details, repeated race after race, that give riders the best possible chance to succeed. Routines stamped into the weekend, quietly doing their job. RockShox is proud of every battle fought by our athletes, the care and attention from our team staff, and the tireless hours from our Race Technicians, all in the relentless pursuit of performance.

The race track is where the sport moves fastest. It's where dreams are realized and legends are written. Until next year.

100 WITH POMPON

Myriam Nicole has been racing World Cups for 18 years, through injuries, setbacks and more comebacks than any other rider. She has never failed to find her way back to the top with a total of 66 World Cup Podiums.

Last weekend in Lake Placid, Myriam celebrated her 100th World Cup start, a feat no other woman has ever achieved. She raced a beautiful custom Commencal Supreme V5.2 painted to match her home, Lac du Salagou, and closed out the season narrowly missing the podium in 4th place, and wrapping up 2026 in 8th overall despite missing rounds due to injury.

Everyone at SRAM and RockShox is proud of Myriam, her achievements, and everything she continues to give to our sport.

Joe is working on developing a new Downhill bike with Nukeproof and has been racing this prototype through-out the 2026 season. A stock Nukeproof Dissent (large) front triangle is paired with a prototype linkage that has changed the bike from a single pivot to a 4 bar with a horst link and mid pivot point.

Joe walks us through is preferences, the ways he seeks comfort on the bike and how he adapts this prototype to different conditions acorss the World Cup circuit, from utilizing downtube weights, adjusting his Ocahin | R based on track characteristics and his unique brake lever set up.
