Cube invests in downhill team

Mountain bike manufacturer Cube is entering the Downhill World Cup with its own team. This is hardly surprising, as Cube presented a new downhill bike in July 2015. It was to be expected that a racing team would follow. The team includes Matt Walker and Greg Williamson.

Last summer, Cube presented the Two15, a brand new downhill bike - a 15 kilogram lightweight and competitive aluminum bike with Fox suspension. This suggested that the German mountain bike manufacturer would also become active in this area. After all, investing resources in the development of a downhill bike without promoting it with a racing team would not have made much sense in terms of marketing. After half a year of silence, this assumption has now been confirmed: Cube is entering the international racing circuit with the "Cube Global Squad" team.
Greg Williamson from Scotland and Matt Walker from New Zealand are the two riders of the newly formed "Cube Global Squad".

Greg is just 23 years old and has already achieved some good results. Together with 25-year-old Matt, the team wants to cause surprises. The two have already surprised in the past: Walker raced to 11th place at the Downhill World Cup in Mont Saint Anne (CAN) and Williamson even achieved ninth place in Meribél a year earlier.
