The DH bike won\u2019t be retired anytime soon either and Magnus will be on double duty, mixing things up between select EWS and World Cup DH events while also supporting Forbidden\u2019s R&amp;D department&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor 2021 I&#8217;m super excited to be part of a new and growing brand and on a team like Forbidden Synthesis. After a few challenging years dealing with injuries, I&#8217;m thrilled to race again and on some pretty sweet-looking bikes, as well as helping with some of the R&amp;D work that\u2019s currently going on behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p>Coming from a DH background, I feel like I\u2019m pretty good at getting bikes up to speed quickly, which I think will be helpful when working on a new bike or design. Considering how well the current Forbidden bikes work, I can&#8217;t wait to begin collaborating with Owen [Pemberton] and the R&amp;D team; they have some exciting new projects in the works! I was lucky enough to get started with Forbidden aboard a Dreadnought late last fall and while I typically struggle to make enduro-style bikes enjoyable for the type of riding I like to do, I found myself riding that bike relentlessly within a few days!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m looking forward to competing in a variety of different races this season and in a few disciplines including enduro, which will be a new one for me. Thankfully though, I have some pretty great teammates to help me learn the ropes! I can&#8217;t wait to see what the summer brings and I&#8217;m super stoked to be aboard a Canadian brand who make some kick-ass bikes.\u201d <strong>&#8211; Magnus Manson<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rhys_highline.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-262857\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rhys_highline.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rhys_highline.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rhys_highline-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rhys_highline-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the most promising talents on the international enduro scene, 23-year-old Squamish local Rhys Verner, made his intentions known in 2020 with some stellar results.

Without them and others in the racing community, this sport wouldn\u2019t be what it is today.<\/p>\n<p>And what a roster of partners at that! Sharing our vision from the get-go, crankbrothers will be supplying the team with their front and rear-specific Synthesis wheels, shoes, pedals and range of tools. We are also privileged to have both SRAM and RockShox by our side, ensuring our riders have the best braking and transmission systems, seatposts and suspension platforms available.<\/p>\n<p>Fizik, whose legacy in mountain bike racing is hard to fault, will be supplying saddles while bars, stems, grips and headsets will be provided by Burgtec and Chris King respectively; the coolest cockpit combo out there for sure. The team will be rolling on Maxxis rubber with CushCore inserts, wearing 7Mesh apparel, Oakley helmets and eyewear, and fending off those falls with protection from 7iDP. Muc-Off will be supplying the team\u2019s bike care ingredients and ensuring the bikes are spick and span all season.
