#USDH Rider Profile - Nik Nestoroff on NASA Downhill Test Track 14

Pro downhill mountain bike racer, Nik Nestoroff, absolutely shreds his local test track as he prepares for the 2022 UCI World Cup DH season. He's already won the first Fontana race and took home the Nevada State DH Championship just a couple days ago. Watch him rip and then get to know him through his interview.

This kid is quick!

Does anyone know if there are rules within the UCi about racing an incorrectly Branded bike? We see tire blackouts but you never see Vee Tires putting their company logo on a set of maxxis tires for example.

Nesteroff's Enduro bike seems to be a similar situation with it being a Kona Process that's rebranded as KHS.

All just seems a little weird.

This happened a LOT in the 90's when almost every team was riding repainted Intense M1's. There is no rule against it.

I don't remember the full story, but I think KHS is actually a distributor/manufacturer and they make a lot of the bikes out there. You will see the team on rebranded Trek, Specialized, Kona, etc. at different times in the season last year.

Found it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KHS_Bicycles

They manufacture over 100,000 bikes per year and we all know KHS doesn't sell that many bikes. The KHS brand is actually just to show their capabilities with no real intent of selling in large numbers. There used to be a lot of other Taiwanese manufacturers that would do the same thing.

Nice new KHS downhill bike, looks strangely familiar to another bike out there, can't remember which one though....

If you look at how long he has been a member, it becomes obvious he is probably one of the immature assholes who got mad at Outside and decided to take a stand and is now polluting this site instead...
