Reece Tucknott
“I ride for the Giant Australia Off-Road Team where I compete in mostly marathon style cross country mountain bike events. I have been racing mountain bikes for 22 years now and have been lucky enough to race all around the world in all sorts of events that include the World Cross Country Championships along with multi-day events such as The Swiss Epic. My best results would include a 12th in the U19 World Cup in Germany, a 16th in a U23 World Cup in the Czech Republic and a Top 5 Elite podium in Canada with my most memorable race probably being the Swiss Epic in 2018.
Mountain Biking is the best sport that I have been involved in and has played a huge part in my life allowing me to travel the world and makes friends everywhere I go. To this day I still love riding and racing my bike and I hope to see more people out there in the future for the pure enjoyment of mountain biking!”

He is doing an EWS race campaign in Europe this year and the Rocky Trail Team is stoked for him, supporting and cheering him on from back home.
Bailey Meares
“My MTB race journey started in 2018, and enjoy competing in multiple disciplines. It is hard to pick just one discipline and like to think I’m a threat in most disciplines. I am one of the fastest Pump Track racers in the country, and have held Top 10 spots nationally in Downhill and Enduro in my junior years. This year is my first year in Elite and I’m focusing on honing my craft, racing Crankworks and some other international events.
“I find the Rocky Trail races a low pressure way of pushing the race limits. The Superflow® Pro Stages really help elevate the events to something closer to what we see Nationally and internationally. And obviously the Pump Track racing is just great fun.”
