HARRIS
Yeti / FOX Development Team NZL
I’ve grown up riding bikes all my life. Starting with racing BMX from an early age before making the transfer to mountain bikes during high school. I’m now into my 8th year of racing mountain bikes and 3rd year racing internationally. I’m very excited to have the opportunity to be apart of the Yeti / FOX Development Team. After a solid start to the 2023 EDR season with my two best results to date, I’m looking forward to building on those at the next rounds.
AGE?
21
YETI BIKE OF CHOICE AND WHY?
SB160. Enduro racing, Downhill racing, backcountry missions, it does it all and does it well.
FAVORITE RACE EVENT?
The local Linger and Die Enduro and Downhill. These were my first mountain bike events and will always be a favourite.
MY FAVORITE VINTAGE YETI RACER IS?
Graves is the man!
THE BIGGEST RISK I HAVE TAKEN?
Emptying my bank account to have a go at competing on the world stage — 3 times!
SOMETHING I ALWAYS BRING OUT ON A RIDE?
Snacks, pressure gauge, and water.
WILDEST ENCOUNTER OUT ON TRAIL WAS?
Was once almost cleaned out by sheep racing down Cardrona mountain Peak to Pub race. That’s about as dangerous as the wildlife gets in New Zealand.
CHOOSE THE LABEL(S) THAT BEST DESCRIBE YOU?
Bradders
WHEN I’M NOT OUT RACING ENDURO YOU MAY FIND ME OUT DOING?
On the building site working away to fund my next race trip.
MOST UNDERRATED PLACE TO GO AND WHY?
Alexandra, NZ. It’s a small town located in the heart of Central Otago and is home to some of the most unique and world class trails. Follow the pink dots on the rocks, and you should come back in one piece.
