The 'Cyclewise Racing' branding is back in 2026!

Whilst many of the team have dabbled in Enduro, XC, Crit, Road and Downhill races over the past few years we wanted to to offer our support to a few local aspiring racers that to us, show dedication, drive, passion and the strive to endure the ups, and the downs that come hand in hand with bike racing.

Tom is the first to wear the new branding, and is dressed head to toe in Leatt Protectives, aboard his 2026 Orbea Rallon DH and will be following the British Cycling Downhill Series in 2026 having focussed on the Scottish Downhill Series last season.

Tom has been with Cyclewise for 2 years years now and is also a familiar face in Cyclewise Academy. He has been keeping our hire fleet in tip top condition, meeting, greeting and generally grafting away no matter rain or shine and has consistently pushed to race more often and place higher at each round.

With his first round only a few weeks away we've been working with him to ensure his bike is dialled in just so, and is ready race.

Good Luck Tom, we look forward to the write up!
