The New Generation Are Here – Hattie Harnden - a podcast by Downtime MTB

Hattie Harnden represents a new generation of riders. Not wedded to a particular discipline, but enjoying riding all kinds of bikes as fast as she can. Hattie recently took a lot of people by surprise by winning her first elite Enduro World Series race in La Thuile. But with a background of success in both cross country and cyclocross, combined with amazing technical riding ability and the support of Tracy Moseley, we probably shouldn’t be too surprised. We sat down the day after Hattie won the XC national champs to chat about her riding career so far. We discuss Hattie’s approach to going fast, her training, bike setup and much more. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Hattie Harnden.

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.
