Born to nurture the next generation
In 2024, the Muc-Off Young Guns enter their second year, marking a significant step-up in support and performance as the program transitions to an international framework. Powered by Mondraker bikes, the Young Guns team was established to nurture the next generation of downhill racing talent, providing young athletes with the support, equipment, and exposure necessary to excel on the world stage.
Founded in 2020, the team not only supports riders but also offers a clear pathway to World Series level competition. The Young Guns aim to guide junior racers towards the big leagues and factory teams. For 2024, the team will closely collaborate with the Mondraker Factory Racing program, benefiting from their extensive knowledge and experience in high-level competition. This year, the team expands its focus from the UK to a global scale, supporting the most talented racers aiming to compete internationally.
Competing at local, national, and international levels, the team will be active throughout the season and easily recognizable in their bright pink DHARCO kit. With four of Europe's fastest young talents onboard for 2024, expect impressive performances and frequent podium appearances.
