Sam Reynolds Signs With Aon Racing

Rad dad, YouTube shredder, and DarkFest mastermind Sam Reynolds has officially put pen to paper on a new home.

After parting ways with Team UR at the end of 2024, Reynolds is strapping in with none other than Reece Wilson’s Aon Racing.

He’ll be rocking a futuristic Gamux Sego – a downhill rig that looks like it was built for a sci-fi movie.

Reynolds’ Gamux Sego comes armed with a Pinion electric gearbox, a Gates carbon belt drive, Manitou suspension, Hayes brakes, and a stack of top-tier components from Kenda, Spank, and Sinter. In Sam’s own words, “it’s the Formula 1 of downhill bikes”.

💪 Surviving in a DH World

Landing sponsorships as a freeride athlete might be harder than hucking a 90 foot gap these days. Brands are tightening their marketing budgets and concentrating spend into downhill, making it harder for freeriders to get a share of scarce industry cash.

While racing gets the TV spots and mainstream coverage, freeriders have become resourceful in building attention on their own. Viral edits, social media presences, and events like DarkFest keep the discipline in vogue.

Reynolds has been killing the game on YouTube, keeping his fanbase hyped with insane content and behind-the-scenes madness. His move to Aon Racing proves that he’s still a major player, and let’s be honest—who wouldn’t want to see him send it on a CNC-machined Swiss speed machine?
