So what’s it all about?

Keen to find young talent and support the growth of future mountain-biking champions, Kona and Nissan have joined-up together to sponsor the Grassroots Program, a dealer-supported program to promote local up-and-coming racers with gear, tech and supplies.

This program will provide them with access to the latest racing bikes, race day and casual team kit plus race support at selected events as team members compete in cross-country, road, 4-cross, freeride or dirt jump events.

Grassroots team members will be identified, recruited and managed by each area's local Kona dealer. Kona and Nissan will provide each Grassroots rider with a bunch of promo items to make them stand out from the pack.

Check out Grassroots riders online profiles, their race reports, pictures and videos of their performances and achievements from each event they compete in at the Kona Nissan Grassroots site >>

Here at The Hub we're very excited to be supporting a group of very talented local youngsters as part of the program. We'll be adding their profiles to our own site soon, but you can check them out now at the Grassroots site by clicking the relevant name below:

HANNAH FERGUSON | LEWIS KIRKWOOD | LUCY GRANT | KATY WINTON

We'll be following the progress of our riders and bringing you race reports, photo's and interviews. Meantime we'd like to wish all of the Grassroots riders the very best - especially our own!!

The Kona/Nissan Grassroots program is currently available in the UK, France,
Germany, Austria, Poland, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, Ireland & South Africa.
