Andreu Lacondeguy signed with Mondraker and Unit
October 1st, 2010
Just in time for the Red Bull Rampage, the bike scene’s wild man teamed up with two new brands. For him, no jump is too far and such a thing as too much airtime does not exist. With his tricks, Andreu pushes the limits and continuously takes his skills one step ahead. At the same time, it is really important to him to have partners that think like him.
In Mondraker (www.mondraker.com) and Unit (www.unitriders.com) Andreu has found two sponsors who are a perfect fit and can look forward to the coming season prepared better than ever.
Andreu loves riding bikes and so he needs different bikes for different purposes, whether it is DH, slopestyle, dirt, BMX or even XC, Andreu does it all:
“Mondraker build all different mountain bikes as well as BMX – that way I don’t have to decide for one or the other. My new DH bike barely weighs 15,5 kilos! Plus, it’s really great for me that they are from Spain just like me. Kona was a great bike partner for some years and I’m grateful for their support that helped me get to where I am today, but we all change and sometimes need new challenges, so it is the right time for me to move on.”
Unit is not completely new to the mountain biking scene, since they already work with athletes such as Chris Korvarik, Kelly McGarry or Caroline Buchanan. The brand’s claim could almost be describing the rider himself: „In a world where mediocrity reigns and political correctness dictates youth culture, Unit embodies a spirit of resistance.“
