Upgrade Bikes are excited to announce that 20 year old Elite Downhill rider Bernard Kerr will be riding for ‘Pivot Cycles UK’ in 2011.
Bernard will be riding the new Pivot Phoenix DH Frameset and will be supported by DMR Bikes for parts including the new Valut pedals. He will be focusing on the UK Nationals as well as all the World cup rounds.
‘’Having recently added Pivot Cycles to our portfolio of brands we felt we needed to get a high profile rider on board to help promote and launch the brand in the UK. We are super stoked to have Bernard on the bike for 2011, he is a very talented rider and is focused on making a big impact on the UK and world circuit this year, and we hope the partnership will work out very well for all involved.’’ Tom Varkala, Pivot Cycles UK Brand manager.
‘’I’m so stoked to be on Pivot Cycles UK as the bike is just blowing me away every time I ride, its making me feel more and more like a hero!! They are just such a cool bunch of guys which I’m really looking forward to working with, along with the new DMR pedal + parts I genuinely couldn’t be more pumped and ready for the season to start so I’ll see you at the races! ’’ Bernard Kerr
