BIKERADAR covers WILDEST BIKE ON WORLD CUP CIRCUIT: Aon Racing's GAMUX SEGO with Manitou

The recent BikeRadar feature on Reece Wilson’s Gamux Sego perfectly captures what’s turning heads in downhill mountain biking today: an unconventional machine built to explore what’s possible rather than repeat what’s expected. BikeRadar describes the Sego as one of the most striking developmental bikes on the World Cup circuit, uniquely configured with a Pinion gearbox, Gates belt drive, and a host of individualized innovations that speak to a new era of performance evolution. At the core of that machine’s capability is its suspension architecture, anchored by Manitou components. The Sego runs a Manitou Dorado upside-down fork up front and a Manitou Mara shock out back, and both are critical to how this bike performs across varied and brutal terrain. In a platform designed for adjustability and experimentation: where geometry, stiffness, and kinematics are in constant refinement… suspension stability and responsiveness become the baseline, not a variable.

What BikeRadar’s coverage highlights is not just the bike’s radical adjustability, but also how technologies like Manitou’s suspension enable riders to explore new performance territory with confidence. Reece’s ability to fine-tune travel, support, and ride feel is only possible because the suspension delivers repeatable, predictable performance under real World Cup conditions. That kind of capability doesn’t come from trends, it comes from purpose-led engineering and real-world validation, the same principles that have defined Manitou’s long history of innovation. In this collaboration between AON, Gamux, and Manitou, the Sego becomes more than an experiment. It becomes a declaration of where mountain bike development is headed, an open-ended exploration of how chassis, suspension, and rider intent can interact to elevate performance. As BikeRadar’s story shows, Reece’s bike is at the forefront of that movement, and Manitou suspension is providing the foundation of control, compliance, and confidence that makes this kind of forward thinking possible.
