2016 was Adam Brayton’s most successful downhill season to date. Years of training, racing and effort finally came together and saw Brayton achieve a string of top ten World Cup results and finish 10th overall in the World Cup standings.
Needless to say, Adam has been hugely motivated by these results and has subsequently buried himself in the gym for the winter, preparing mentally and physically for the season ahead. With a new season comes a new bike. Here is his 2017 ride:
