We were all waiting for it the whole year! We can say that 2022 Red Bull Rampage kicks off today!
As you may know It is the first day riders appear at the Utah hills to check the lines and to start digging tomorrow, so it's a perfect time to show you guys a custom bike designed and built up for Szymon Godziek. Every single year the event is not only the showcase of the insane lines and tricks but also a great gallery of custom bikes. We took that opportunity to create some unique design and setup for our rider- Szymon Godziek. Here is what have we come up with!

We've spent quite some time debating with Szymon how and what he feels like riding a 27'5 FUZZ in the crazy Utah hills. We were discussing tricks, riding style, and speed he's looking for in his runs and what makes him the most confident on the step downs, rotations etc. We all ended up with an agreement to try build an unique set-up merging out together the 27,5' front end with the old school 26'rear end. The aim of such a transformation of the bike was to receive a shorter wheelbase and a rear end of the bike which affects the most the spinning factor.
This was a game-changer for Szymon.
After a couple of tests and different setups, we have agreed on the final one adding also the 2.0-degree headset angle, to make the bikehandling even more radical.
The bike is equipped with polished alloy and pink Hope Tech parts like brakes, crankarms, stem, or seat post. This also matches perfectly with the colorful Industry Nine wheels with Continental Tires.

Speaking about the wheels, it's worth mentioning those are not stock ones. The are also designed and built specifically for this particular bike. We have chosen a couple of spoke colors to fit not only the Hope parts, but also the colors used in the frame design. We love it!
Without those two the bike couldn't be finalized. Painted from scratch by Dreamworkers, build-up and fine-tuned by ThirtyThree Bicycle Studio- great job guys!

Szymon is already enjoying the bike, having fun with the boys and fine-tuning his set up for the demanding terrain in Utah.
