Josh Bryceland is a rider perhaps best known by his nickname – Ratboy. A former junior world champion and 2014 overall World Cup champion, Bryceland nearly won the 2014 World Championships but was scuppered by going too big off a final jump, where he had to settle for a silver medal and shattered foot instead.
With wild child antics on and off the bike, long flowing hair and speed as raw as it comes, Bryceland always draws a roar from the crowd. As a third of the Santa Cruz Syndicate team, alongside Steve Peat and Greg Minnaar, Bryceland’s race rig is what many would call a dream bike.

Sixth gen of a classic
Now coming onto its fourteenth year as a race-winning platform, the V10 is the most winning downhill bike in the sport's history. Late 2014 saw the Syndicate team move to the sixth generation of this superbike, a full carbon 27.5in-wheeled version that remains the choice for 2016 – albeit with new team-issue paint.
