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.

RACE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTS LATEST PROJECTS

2025

This race season we will focus on new evolutions for Zerode and their G3. New for 2025 is our cooperation with Hope Technologies in which we will develop in existing and new products in a symbiotic relationship. Also for suspension we are planning something new- stay tuned.

2024

In 2024 the focus was on gaining knowledge about gearboxes and belt drives to kick off the Intense gearbox race bike for 2025 in cooperation with Pinion and Gates belts. On top of this project, we were co-developing an evolution of rims for e13 in terms of compliance and reliability as well as a new generation of tires with our long-term partner Michelin.  

2023

In 2023 we started to develop the new generation downhill bike for our former partner Mondraker. Based on their industrial design and the ZERO suspension system given, we developed a bike based on our vision and knowhow with 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.

Another development which has started in that era was the sidekick hub by e13 to reduce the problem of pedal kickback. While we had to work in certain boundaries of what we were allowed to do on the drive train side, we co-developed and tested this new generation hub.
