Saracen is excited to announce the signing of Adam Brayton as their latest rider for the 2025 season. Brayton needs little in the way of an introduction, hailing from Keswick in the Lakes, Brayton is a highly renowned Downhill World Cup racer who started back in 2008. His debut season saw him competing amongst the world’s best riders, with a notable 6th place finish in Champery.

In recent years, Brayton has still been keeping it at the sharp end with a top 10 finish in the 2024 RedBull Hardline Wales event as well as 6th in the British National Champs. Brayton will be riding and racing onboard the range of bikes from Saracen this year, with the Myst X and Ariel 60 X being his current frames of choice. Away from racing, you’ll find Adam building his local trails and sharing what he gets up to through his Gas-To-Vlog over on YouTube as well as a spot of fishing when he can.

Here’s what he had to say about joining Saracen: “I’m so stoked to be joining Saracen for 2025! I’m very grateful for this opportunity and I’m excited to see what I can do this season aboard my Myst”

Kellie Parsons, Marketing Director at Saracen said: “We are so excited to have a rider of Adam’s calibre and profile join the Saracen family. We rely on rider feedback for product development so having someone with Adam’s knowledge is going to be invaluable and we can’t wait to work with him in 2025 and beyond.”

For 2025, the goal is the same for Brayton. To ride as much as possible, go fast, have fun and stay healthy. Saracen will be supporting Brayton with his racing, riding and content and are very excited to kick the year off with a bang.
