Big news from the trail today — Nukeproof has officially announced its return to top-tier downhill racing as the title sponsor and official bike partner of the Nukeproof Axess Racing Team! After a bit of quiet time for the brand, this feels like the kind of comeback we’ve all been waiting for.
Nukeproof and Axess Racing have teamed up for the next three seasons, and they’re headed straight into the UCI Mountain Bike Downhill World Cups aboard the iconic Nukeproof Dissent — the bike that’s built for the roughest, rowdiest tracks on the planet.
This isn’t just a token sponsorship either — it’s a full-on partnership. Nukeproof came together with team owners and managers quickly but with serious intent, locking in this deal and gearing up to race hard at the highest level.
Here’s the lineup that’s lining up to shred:
Elite Men
Elite Women
Junior Men
This mix of seasoned racers and hungry young talent has serious potential — and it’s already looking like the comeback ride of the year.
Part of what makes this partnership exciting is the intent behind it. Nukeproof and Axess aren’t just rolling up to World Cups with flashy stickers — they’re fine-tuning set-ups, perfecting rider position, and squeezing every last bit of performance out of the bikes using wind-tunnel testing and pro-level prep.
Plus, the team has punched way above its weight in recent seasons. With events like Red Bull Hardline and Red Bull Cerro Abajo on the schedule — and past podiums under their belts — this squad is fearless and fast.
