READ MORE

Dan Bateson is a true jack-of-all-trades and a master of them all, earning his status as a top freeride and downhill rider. Known for his big sends and viral clips, Dan is one of the most popular riders you’ll ever meet and is now a pretty handy MTB coach.

He’s been riding Saracen bikes since he was 15, cutting his teeth at Chicksands Bike Park.
We had a short time apart, but now we are beyond excited to welcome Dan back as an official rider for 2025. We have some big plans together.
