Rémy Métailler – Creating a Niche

May 7, 2019

Rémy Métailler has quite a unique place in the sport, being well known for his Rampage performances, and his urban downhill racing, but he is also a busy product tester for many brands. We sit down to chat about how Rémy has built his career within the mountain bike industry, and some of his experiences along the way. We also talk athlete pay, world cup downhill, how he approaches big features, and plenty more, so hit play and give it a listen.

This episode of the podcast is supported by PNW Components. I’ve been using their Loam Lever, and it’s hands down the best dropper lever I’ve ever used. Check them out at pnwcomponents.com and listeners get 10% off until the end of June 2019 using the code ‘downtime’ at the checkout.

This episode is also supported by Morvélo Clothing. They are making well thought out riding gear that’s a bit different to the big brands. It’s also great quality and really well priced.
