BURN IT TO EARN IT
A freerider who requires no introduction, Matt Hunter’s stunts around Kamloops are the stuff of legend. However, in his (perhaps) wiser years, Matt now gets the most out of his rides by burning up on his very capable Trail bike, then descending with enough speed to go way deep in the travel.

I really want it to feel great on the way down. It’s there for you when you’re
deep in it.— MATT HUNTER
What trail product is best for me?
"I like to hit fast and hard descents on a small and whip-able bike, all while I don't have a lot of riding time on my hands. That means I treat my trail bike a bit like a freeride bike, and like the support that a FOX 36 Grip X2 and DHX Coil Shock pairing provides me."

How Do You Ride?

- mostly down

Downcountry
This is not your Dad’s XC. Hustle up, pin it down, rally through the sketch, pop off the side hits, and above all, keep pace.
-
Adventure
“Easy” is not in the vocabulary. You ride for burning lungs, rattled hands, and that quiet moment when you know you just went all in.
-
All Day Trail
Don’t chase suffering, chase momentum. Smooth power in, raw speed out. Never a pedal stroke wasted in search of more Trail.
-
All-Mountain
Your bike may not have the deepest travel, but you ride it as if it did. There’s no need to hold back. Smash it
-
Flow Rider
Finesse, not force. Rail the corners, pump the rollers, boost the doubles. When it’s clean, it’s quick. And when it’s quick, it’s fun.
-
Hot Laps
Never mind a few extra grams… Once you drop in, you’ll remember exactly why you hauled it all the way to the top. Burn the climb. Earn the descent.
