EKOÏ and DragonSpeed DH announce their official partnership for the MTB downhill program. The collaboration is long-term and puts racing at the center of product development. After a first successful cooperation during the UCI Mountain Bike World Series North American Tour 2025, the partnership will now be significantly expanded.

DragonSpeed DH will compete in all races of the UCI Downhill World Cup and will be fully equipped by EKOÏ. The aim is to test material under real racing conditions and to optimize performance down to the smallest detail. Downhill in particular, with its extreme demands, serves EKOÏ as an innovation laboratory, including for the further development of a new full-face downhill helmet.

DragonSpeed DH is the mountain bike project of the internationally successful DragonSpeed motorsport team, which competes in the IMSA series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, among others. Team founder Elton Julian's passion for motorsport and cycling disciplines, in which precision, reliability and performance are crucial, led him into downhill racing. This approach also characterizes the downhill team with a strong focus on data, preparation and technical excellence.

Sport-wise, DragonSpeed DH relies on a French-influenced team with elite riders Antoine Rogge and Thibaut Daprela, juniors Leo Godin and Zoé Fayolle and Mariano Leon from Ecuador.

With this partnership, EKOÏ and DragonSpeed DH are underlining their shared ambition to be successful at the highest World Cup level and at the same time drive the further development of downhill equipment for future generations.
