MS-RACING ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

MS WHAT?!

Since more than a decade, the race program of MS-RACING counts to the top 5 competitors in the mountain bike world cup circuit. Reaching this level is enough for most of the teams, but our aim is and always was to push ourselves and to leave our marks in this sport- ON TOP OF THE GAME.

A LIFE OF COMMITMENT

The MS- RACING mountain bike team was founded by MARKUS STOECKL and LUKAS HAIDER in 2004 to support semiprofessional athletes with the experience of more than 10 years of racing.

This is 20 year of blood, tears and glory in pictures.

APPEARANCE  A WORLD CUP BENCHMARK

Since 2007 the MS-RACING program sets the standards for appearance in MTB racing. Our intention is and always was to represent our sponsor in a unique way and setting new standards. 

Since 2023 our infrastructure includes a tour bus for convenient riders transport, 3 fully branded support vehicles and 2 foldable container unites, where one contains a fully equipped workshop, while the other one is set up for rider and guest hospitality with a fully equipped kitchen as well as a separated area for physio treatments.

LATEST PROJECT RACE  BIKE  DEVELOPMENT

For 2023 we race on a bike, which is developed with the experience of 3 year years with kinematic and geometry problems. 

Based on the industrial design and the ZERO suspension system given by our partner company Mondraker we developed a bike with a race orientated kinematic in combination with a fully adjustable geometry thru features like an almost seamless reach adjustment, a separate adjustable bottom bracket shell, a from the geometry unlinked progressivity adjustment, rear end flex adjustments and a compartment for additional weight in the BB area.

 This bike is our first small step to achieve the goal to build the next generation DH bike and there is still a long way to go.
