2021 – 2024
For the latest iteration of the team, Unior forged a new alliance with another Slovenian manufacturer. Sinter manufactures high-end brake pads for cycling & other industries and has joined the team as a title co-sponsor. The program will focus on downhill, enduro, BMX Freestyle, and Slopestyle, with an international rider line-up: Aimi Kenyon (UK), Ben Zwar (Australia/Sweden), Stan Nisbet (UK/Scotland), Oli Clark (New Zealand) and Slovenians Vid Peršak (Enduro) and Jaka Remec (BMX Freestyle). The concept remains the same – offer athletes the best possible support, be the best ambassador to all our sponsors, continue to work hard, and have fun while doing it.
2018-2020
Our merger with Canadian bicycle producer Devinci Cycles lead to the creation of one of the strongest mountain bike teams on the circuit. Riders from New Zealand, France, United States of America, Ireland, Canada and Slovenia achieved tons of memorable results, such as podium finishes for Dakotah Norton at World Cups in Lošinj and Lousa, Keegan Wrights’ wins on Crankworx and Damien Oton’s victory on Megavalanche.
2010-2017
Unior’s first factory racing program was established in 2010, with a clear vision that still stands today – spread the word about Unior Bike Tools product and be a strong and competitive professional mountain bike team. In 8 years of racing under the UTT name we have achieved some amazing results and employed athletes from different countries and even continents. From Tanja Žakelj, who won the overall UCI XCO World Cup in 2013, to Reece Wilson, who got his first elite Top-30 in World Cup in our jersey and became a World Champion in 2020 under the Trek Factory Racing flag.
