Proxim, the Gravity line of Prologo, leading brand in the production of high performance saddles and accessories, will be the technical partner of the most important Urban Downhill event signed Red Bull, which for the first time in Europe lands in the alleys of Genova.
From 18 to 20 October, Proxim will be in the Ligurian capital along with 32 Pro Riders who will compete in an adrenaline-fuelled downhill race against the clock, along a 2 km city course of narrow passages, stairs, urban obstacles and breathtaking jumps.
Among the challengers, an exceptional Proxim ambassador will also be at the starting gate, the eclectic New Zealand mountain biker Wyn Masters, who has been the standard-bearer of Prologo's gravity line for years.
Wyn was one of the riders who, together with great champions such as Gee Atherton and Nicolas Vouilloz, contributed to the development of the Proxim line. The brand is currently also the technical partner of several international teams, such as Team Atherton, Lapierre Zip Collective and Overvolt, who riding Proxim have already won 5 world championships in just a few years between Downhill, Enduro and E-enduro.
"I am thrilled to participate in the first Red Bull Cerro Abajo event in Europe this weekend,’ said Wyn, ’I have already participated in the event in Chile and I can't wait to race in Italy again! I will be in Genova together with my technical sponsor Proxim, who will support me with the most suitable saddles and gloves for such an extreme course. I hope to meet there all the fans!"
"We are extremely happy to have been chosen by Red Bull as technical partner of the first European Cerro Abajo." Said Salvatore Truglio, Prologo’s brand manager. "This choice highlights the commitment of Prologo in all disciplines, from the big Tours with the support to 7 World Tour teams, to the XC/Marathon with 9 teams counting 3 world champions and 2 reigning Olympic champions, up to the Gravity disciplines with the teams that have chosen Proxim," Truglio continued, "we have always appreciated this Red Bull format of urban races at the limit and, as an Italian brand, we are happy that a city in Italy has been chosen as the first stop on our continent. We look forward to seeing you all this weekend to cheer on the great champions who will compete in Genova, together with our ambassador Wyn Masters who will give us great emotions as always!".
