More Than a Racer. A Voice for Change.
Riding for More Than Victory
Reece is a passionate environmentalist and is keen to raise the awareness of cycling as a gateway to not only physical but good mental health, working on projects with the likes of The South of Scotland Destination Alliance and Trash Free Trails.
Outside of racing, Reece is often found in the TNT Sports commentary box where he shares his insights and expertise.
He has always worked hard to bring new partners into mountain biking and has most recently collaborated with global brands Volvo and Lotus.
After 6 years of riding for TREK Factory Racing, in January 2025, Reece announced his new race team, AON Racing. It’s one of the very few pure prototype downhill race teams in the 2025 Whoop UCI MTB World Series. This means it is completely unrestricted in terms of components and equipment partners, ensuring a competitive edge at every race.
With years of racing expertise behind him, Reece’s aim is to redefine the boundaries of downhill racing whilst inspiring a new generation of riders.
Building teams. Shaping culture. Inspiring the next generation of riders.
