Thomas Mitchell Signs with Kona Bikes

Young Scottish racer and friend of the magazine Thomas Mitchell has helped out on many ENDURO Magazine projects and we are delighted to see him signed to an exciting new team for 2016. To find out more about Thom check out his new video.

After a breakout season in 2015, Thomas is joining Kona Bikes for the 2016 season. Finishing 4th overall in the Scottish Enduro Series, Thomas had a great rookie season as an elite racer with some competitive results. The Tweed Valley local is excited about his new team.

“I’m really happy to be joining Kona this year. A big draw for me was the bikes, I love the Process range and felt really comfortable right from the word go. Kona are known in the mountain bike industry for their relaxed attitude and desire to make bikes that will make you smile. That fits really well with me; racing for Kona allows me to be myself and just enjoy riding. There’s no pressure on me and I like that. I can’t wait to get the season going, I’ve been training hard over winter and hope to make a big impact on the National Enduro scene this year”

Racing the Kona Process 111 and 153 models, Thomas will be racing the British Enduro Series, Scottish Enduro Series, Tweedlove events and some select Enduro World Series races.
