Diamonds are Forever!
Black Diamond Racing was founded out of a clear need to create a youth program that supports the future of enduro and downhill racing in a landscape largely dominated by traditional NICA teams. Our program offers an alternative pathway for young riders who are passionate about gravity-focused mountain biking. Built on the core principles of training with purpose, racing at a high level, and having fun, Black Diamond Racing has been setting a new standard since 2021. We focus on skill development, rider progression, and community. We focus on building confident athletes who carry their success from trails into everyday life.
