Back for its 3rd year, Orange Factory Racing launched with a bang in classic-British conditions at Cwmcarn, South Wales.
New riders Christo Gallagher and Becky Cook joined self-proclaimed OG Tom Wilson for three days of bike setup, good times and team bonding all set against the backdrop of South Wales’ classic trails.
The Team Camp kicked off with the big handover of the team’s Factory Racing Edition Switch 7’s, decked out in the team’s sponsored components.
The bikes are brand new to Becky and Christo, so with Tom’s experience, the crew moved straight into shake-downs and suspension setup with the Cwmcarn Downhill track providing a perfect test lab.
With setups dialled in, it was on to the fun job of stacking clips, getting to know each other and seeing just how hard the new bikes can go.
The team spent the rest of the week lapping South Wales' finest, covering everything the fast and fun Twrch surfaced trail, to the big hits of Y Mynydd and then over to some local, techy steeps.
With the intros done, the team are working on the final preparations for Round 1 of the Enduro World Cup in Tasmania. It'll be the first race for the new-look Orange Factory Racing setup and they couldn't be more excited to get between the tape.
