A Strategic Approach to Success – Zakarias Johansen - a podcast by Downtime MTB

Join me for a chat with Zakarias Johansen, fresh off his first Enduro World Series podium in La Thuile. We chat about Zak’s background with mountain bikes, including his time racing downhill. Find out why Zak moved to Enduro and hear about the strategy that he used to become a pro rider. We chat about his approach to racing, and what it took to get that first EWS podium. Zak provides some great insight into what it’s like racing enduro at the top level in 2021. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Zakarias Johansen.

Supporting Partners







We Are One Composites







This episode is supported by We Are One Composites. We Are One have been big supporters of what I’m doing from the start, and for that I’m really grateful. They also make amazing carbon fibre wheels which are hand made in Canada. I’m running their Faction 29er rims on my bike, and they look and feel amazing. They’ve managed to find the sweet spot between stiffness and compliance, making a wheel that tracks, but doesn’t feel harsh to ride.







They’ve got a whole line up of products, so there is always something to suit your needs. Head to weareonecomposites.com and check out what they have to offer. If you’re tempted, then as a Downtime listener, they are offering you 15% off rim-only products during August. All you need to do is enter the code ‘wesupply2021‘ at the checkout.
