We have officially been running our Ambassador Program since 2018. Each year we meet some awesome, talented riders who are not only handy on the bike but also great people who represent everything we love about the sport. When we look for riders to support their vibe off the bike is as important as on it. It's not always about being the fastest out there, we want to see riders who love the sport, ambassadors for riding bike as much as for MTB Beds.
