In 2023 alongside our Enduro team, we will see Sian A’Hern and Oisin O’Callaghan represent The YT Mob at Downhill World Cups.
Sian and YT are a perfect match – she truly personifies our Good Times motto, and her effortless style oozes skill. Podium by podium, racing has taken her around the globe, allowing her to turn her passion into a career.
“It is such a great feeling to be returning to World Cup racing after 3 years. I am really excited for this year with a great team behind me, and I am feeling really excited to learn lots, experience lots and enjoy it all while racing fast.”… “My goal for this 2023 season is to have the most fun possible; as I have had so long away, it’s hard to put a result-based goal as it’s hard to know where I will be. Ultimately I would love to stand on the podium!! Just excited to see what this year has in store for me and the whole MOB.”

“I’m back to my roots for this year with Renthal and Fox suspension, it’s been really interesting going back to these products after 6 years away, and there has been a lot of development, and I love it! My main focus throughout team camp was working on suspension and finding a good base setup, as my suspension and components are different for this year ahead. I feel I have made great progress with my setup and am feeling at home with the bike.”
