He has already been crowned National Trials Champion twice in Japan. But it was clear from his first demo tape in 2010 that he was also exploring the possibilities on the MTB beyond competition: in street trials. Over the years, Tomomi has constantly redefined his own limits on the bike, and there is still no end in sight for 2021. Both the Canyon trial bike prototype and the Spectral, Torque and Sender mountain bikes will be challenged in the future.

"We can't wait to see the next projects. In addition to his own skills, Tomomi invests a lot of work in the Japanese Street Trials community. The way he connects riders and inspires newcomers to the sport is just great and shows how important the future of mountain biking is to him. The partnership with Tomomi has been fantastic from the start, especially in the development of the trials bike prototype. We are very much looking forward to continuing our collaboration," says Canyon, welcoming Tomomi to the team.

"Riding for Canyon is just brilliant: the bikes are awesome and so innovative, and the team is full of great riders. I already have some great ideas for videos for this year and I can't wait to realize them with my new bikes," says Tomomi Nishikubo, the trials ninja.
