iXS extends the Gravity Alliance – and strives to create the biggest MTB team in history! In 2024, the Swiss helmet, protection and apparel brand iXS has launched the iXS Gravity Alliance to support privateer racers inside the iXS Downhill Cups. Now, iXS takes the program one step further: The Support Program for Privateers will now include Downhill, Enduro and Slopestyle/Freeride. More than a sponsorship, the Gravity Alliance is a movement dedicated to real riders – those who live for the race tape and contest podiums, not the social media spotlight.

From the roots of downhill racing to new frontiers in enduro and slopestyle, the iXS Gravity Alliance unites gravity athletes who share one mindset: progress. It’s a collective for riders and opinion leaders who push their limits, refine their skills, and elevate the sport together – one run at a time.

Alliance members receive full professional support from iXS, including race kits, helmets, and protective gear designed for athletes who give everything along the course. For those focussing on racing, each rider’s entry to the iXS European Downhill Cup is fully covered.

The iXS Gravity Alliance is for those who ride with a race state of mind. Not necessarily between the tapes only, but with heart, determination, and the pursuit of both speed and style on any terrain.

The Gravity Alliance represents iXS’s next step in supporting the grassroots side of gravity racing and competing on a global scale. As the series grows internationally, iXS continues to reinforce its long-standing commitment to authentic riders and the spirit of mountain biking in the field of Downhill, Enduro and Freeriding.

"We commit to protect. You commit to ride."
