FMD Racing is one of the most iconic and forward-thinking teams in the DH and freeride scene. With multi-discipline athletes across all categories, a bold identity, fresh and honest content, and a passion for competition, FMD Racing inspires a global community to come together. Add to that Orbea's 185-year history, podium finishes across all cycling disciplines, and the vision and engineering of OOLAB, and it's an incredible step forward in the world of downhill and freeride.
Together, Orbea and FMD Racing share one goal: to conquer every podium and set new benchmarks beyond the racetrack. This includes partnering with OOLAB to develop the bikes of the future and identifying and supporting the next generation of gravity athletes.
At the heart of this project is a deep connection with the DH community, whose passion for freeride fuels the vision of the project. Our goal is to engage the public community, not only through our innovative work and results, but also by inviting them to participate in our social initiatives.
Orbea stands out for its passion and authentic approach to bicycle manufacturing and company management, building strong relationships within its network and with its customers.” FMD Racing shares this vision, embarking on an innovative collaboration that promises progressive development and structure for the team. We both aim to push the limits not only in racing, but also in showing the public our shared potential. This long-term project represents an exciting and unified vision. Orbea FMD Racing marks the beginning of a new chapter for both brands – Tony Seagrave, Team Manager of FMD Racing
Through Orbea FMD Racing – The Gravity Cooperative, fans can join the adventure with large pit areas to watch the team work, behind-the-scenes content, and real-time updates that bring them closer to the action. This project aims to inspire an entire community to dream big and connect globally through their love of the sport.
