Alex Storr – Style and Substance
Downtime - The Mountain Bike Podcast - A podcast by Downtime MTB - Tuesdays

Every now and again, you see someone ride a bike who just looks like they were born to do it. Alex Storr is one of those riders. Not only is Alex an incredibly stylish young rider, but he’s also working his way up the ranks in the Enduro World Cup. We chat about how Alex discovered mountain biking through his school club and hear how he got into enduro racing. Find out how Facebook market place ultimately led to Alex getting a factory ride. We also chat about balancing racing and content creation, finding the fastest lines and much more. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Alex Storr. You can follow Alex on Instagram @alex_storr01. His VitalRAW edit is here and an edit from Llangollen here. Supporting Partners Magura The Magura MT7 Pro is my go-to brake for a number of reasons.

The RocketMAX was his dream bike for riding in his new home of the Peak District. The RocketMAX also fitted my dream and I've been lucky enough to be riding one since 2020.

Cotic will let you choose one of their builds or specify your own dream build parts list. You can collect the bike at their brand new showroom in Chesterfield, where one of the team will help get you setup on the bike.
