Brendog’s back in studio and this episode is stacked! On this
episode of The Ride Companion Brendan Fairclough pulls back the
curtain on his new SRAM deal and why it really happened, the new
parts he’s running (Boxxer / Maven / XX DH) and what it’s like
bolting fresh parts on… then riding a brand new custom downhill
track in South Africa. Brendog also reveals details of his new
travel series and teases which major platform could stream it, the
real reason Monster Energy became a title sponsor of the World Cup
Downhill series, watching A1 with Troy Lee, Danny MacAskill's mind
blowing bridge ride, downhill bike set-up tips and much
more!
