Bex Baraona – Working for Your First Big Win - a podcast by Downtime MTB

Today we’re catching up with Bex Baraona. Bex finished up her 2021 season with an incredible win on her home trails in the Tweed Valley. We sat down to chat about her last couple of years racing the Enduro World Series and the ups and downs along the way. We find out how Bex went from a frustrating start to the season, to ending it with her first ever EWS win. Bex recently announced her move to the Yeti Factory Racing team and we talk about how that came together and how Bex is getting on with her new bike and team. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Bex Baraona.

CushCore







I’ve been using CushCore for a few years now and yeah they help protect your rims, but what I really love is what they do to the way the bike rides. The bike is more damped, it rolls faster and maintains momentum better over rough terrain. They really do allow you to go bigger, corner harder, and ride faster with total confidence.







CushCore have amassed 24 EWS wins and 94 podiums. In World Cup downhill they have 27 wins 96 podiums, 7 world championships and 3 world cup overall champions. Pretty impressive eh!







If you want to go bigger, corner harder and ride faster with total confidence then cushcore.com is the place to head.

I've been really impressed with the Magura MT7 Pro brakes that I've been using for the last couple of months. What's even better is the ability to tune the brakes to be prefect for you with their #customizeyourbrake options for performance, ergonomics and aesthetics.
