GEE ATHERTON – THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCE
If there’s one name that strikes fear into gnarly downhill lines and sketchy freeride drops, it’s Gee Atherton. A two-time Downhill World Champion, multiple World Cup winner, and all-round send-it machine, Gee isn’t just a rider—he’s a force of nature. From smashing World Cup circuits to redefining big-mountain freeride, his career has been built on precision, power, and an unrelenting hunger to push boundaries.
The Wins That Built a Legend
Gee’s race record is the stuff of MTB folklore. His aggressive, calculated riding has landed him some of the biggest titles in downhill history:
- 2x UCI Downhill World Champion (2008, 2014) – Taking the rainbow stripes isn’t just about speed, it’s about domination, and Gee delivered both on the world’s biggest stage.
- 2010 UCI World Cup Overall Winner – Consistency is king, and Gee proved he was the best across an entire season, battling the world’s fastest riders to take the overall title.
- 9 UCI World Cup Wins – From brutal rock gardens to all-out speed tracks, Gee’s taken victories at legendary venues like Fort William, Val di Sole, and Leogang.
- Multiple World Cup Podiums – Whether it was a win or a podium charge, Gee was a constant threat at the sharp end of the World Cup field for over a decade.
- 4x British Downhill Champion – The fastest in the UK, time and time again, proving there’s no tougher proving ground than the British downhill scene.
Beyond Racing – The Evolution of a Rider
But Gee doesn’t just ride—he builds. Dyfi Bike Park, his passion project in the wilds of Wales, is an absolute mecca for riders who crave speed, flow, and the kind of lines that make your stomach drop. Hand-sculpted by Gee and his crew, it’s got everything from massive freeride hits to technical descents that’ll have your brakes begging for mercy.
Not content with just being a racing legend, Gee has also made his mark on big-mountain freeride. His Red Bull Hardline podiums prove he can still tame the gnarliest tracks in the world, while his insane Ridgeline projects have set the internet on fire, redefining what's possible on two wheels.
The Muc-Off Connection
A bike like Gee’s takes an absolute beating, which is why he trusts Muc-Off to keep his rig running CleanAF. Whether it’s blasting mud off his Atherton Bikes DH weapon or keeping his drivetrain slick for another mind-melting line, we’ve got his back.
Gee Atherton doesn’t just push limits—he obliterates them.
