Setting a family vibe from the get-go, the Syndicate’s group dynamic is what sets it apart. How each person and rider fits into the team is crucial and enables everyone to unlock new levels of performance. You wouldn't necessarily expect this kind of sports strategy in mountain biking, and at the heart of it, they’re just traveling to beautiful places with close friends and trying to go fast on bikes.
As the UCI Downhill World Cup calendar enters a new season under new management, Peat is excited about where the sport has ended up and where it's going. No one knows the outcome of the changes yet, but team strategy and consistency appear to be ingredients for success—something the Syndicate has going for it. With Peat at the helm, will they come out on top in 2023?
"I stayed closely linked to Santa Cruz as an ambassador and the Syndicate by helping them at races. Luckily, that's turned into something that's really fulfilling." - Steve Peat
