"I'm absolutely thrilled to be part of the Canyon family now," says the likeable Australian just a few days before his 26th birthday. "Both the enduro and downhill teams are extremely successful. That gives me a lot of self-confidence when it comes to the new material. In addition, there are people behind the scenes who have an incredible amount of experience."

One of these people is Fabien Barel, mentor to the Canyon enduro and downhill teams. "I'm delighted to welcome Jack to the team! Downhill pros guarantee top performance on enduro stages, even though they have to adapt physically to the changed requirements. I have no doubt that Jack's irrepressible will to compete and win will quickly allow him to unlock the secrets of enduro racing," says the 2004 and 2005 Downhill World Champion.

In addition to Ines Thoma and Dimitri Tordo, Jack Moir will be tackling the Enduro World Series. The declared goal: overall victory. If the course of the season allows, one or two trips to the Downhill World Cup are also on the agenda. The overall winner of the 2016 Crankworx Downhill World Tour relies on the 29er race enduro bike Strive and the downhill bike Sender. Both bikes will be ridden by the Canyon pros in the top-of-the-range "CFR" version.
