Brake and fork manufacturer Magura has launched a UK mountain bike team to contest a range of XC and Enduro events. The riders are all well-known names on the UK circuit - from left to right we have Oli Cox, Carl Sturgeon, Dan Booth and Geoff Beetham.

The team will be using Merida Mission XC bikes decked out with Magura Marta SL brakes, Laurin forks (when available - Ronins until then) and Pro wheels. Other kit comes from cosponsors SRAM, Fi:zi'k, Easton, Hutchinson, Shimano, Limar, Northwave and Sixsixone.

You'll be seeing the distinctive yellow Magura kit at Merida 100 enduros, Specialized Enduro Plus, Saab Salomon Mountain Mayhem, the Trek National enduro series, NPS XC and National XC and Marathon championships.
