Das 2006 gegründete Team gilt als das berüchtigtste und erfolgreichste Downhill-Team, das der Sport je gesehen hat. Wo ihre Räder den Boden berühren, ziehen sie jede Aufmerksamkeit auf sich. Das Team wird von Altmeister und Publikumsliebling Steve Peat geleitet und besteht aus Greg Minnaar, dem erfolgreichsten Weltcupfahrer aller Zeiten, und den jungen Talenten Laurie Greenland, Nina Hoffmann und Jackson Goldstone, die ebenfalls schon das Siegen beherrschen.
Laurie Greenland

Laurie Greenland

On our radar since his junior racing days, the stars over Greenland never quite aligned with those in California until 2022. The surfing, skating, bmxing Bristolian is already an accomplished racer and couldn’t be a better fit for the team! Laurie has already hit the team running with a string scorching race runs, podiums and dominant qualifiers. Watch this space.

Steve Peat

Steve Peat

Known as ‘Sheffield Steel’ or simply as ‘Peaty’, there isn’t too much you can say about the man hailing from Sheffield, England that hasn’t already been said. Peaty is a pillar of downhill mountain bike racing with an illustrious career spanning more than 25 years. Former World Champion? Yep. Multiple World Cup winner and World Cup Overall champion? Duh. MTB Hall of Famer? Of course. Head Coach of Santa Cruz’s Syndicate race program? For sure. Peaty is setting the path to support the next generation.

Nina Hoffman

Nina Hoffman

German downhill champion Nina Hoffmann took the downhill world by storm in 2019 and signaled herself as one of the most progressive talents in international mountain bike racing. A World Cup winner and force of emerging talent, the former professional javelin thrower only made the transition to downhill racing four years ago and has already showcased incredible results and achieved successes many can only dream about. Nina has the pace to mix it up week in, week out.

Jackson Goldstone

Jackson Goldstone

You’ve seen the viral video of the pre-school-aged sensation shredding his balance bike to school, but that was just the preface of what Jackson Goldstone was poised to accomplish on a mountain bike. Still early in his riding and racing career, Jackson’s skill and savvy on two wheels is years beyond what his age may indicate. As a first-year Elite racer, the Santa Cruz Syndicate team member won two World Cups and finished 2nd overall in points (only missing out on a chance for the overall because of a flat at Snowshoe) in 2023. His home-country victory at Mount Saint Anne marked a highlight in the young rider's career, but the next few years promise more of the same.
