Bjorn Riley unveils special edition of his SCOTT Spark RC as US national champion

A native of Boulder, Colorado, Riley stood out greatly in the U23 category in 2024, with victories in the World Cup events in Les Gets, winning both in Short Track (XCC) and Olympic Cross Country (XCO), in addition to accumulating numerous podiums throughout the season. His jump to the elite scene in the US was sealed by winning national titles in both disciplines during the Championship held in Macungie, Pennsylvania, in July of the same year.

Riley is known not only for his exceptional technical ability and competitive aggressiveness, but also for his creativity and unique style, both on and off the track. It is common to see him surprise with unexpected maneuvers during races, such as his characteristic jumps touching the front wheel. In addition, he naturally combines his roles as an athlete and an artist.

To commemorate these successes, Riley has collaborated directly in the graphic design of his bike, which he describes with enthusiasm: "This is my bike, I mean it really is MY bike. I have dreamed of this moment since I was a child. This bike will give me that final push needed in the last lap when I am suffering."
