PHAZE TWO: NUKEPROOF RACING
It’s all change for the raceheads in Leogang, Austria. Leatt and the Nukeproof Axess Racing are back with a new look and the same NRG!
Background
Unlike anything previously seen in downhill mountain bike racing, Leatt has channelled its creative edge into a bold, radical look for the Nukeproof Axess Racing (NAR) team, to debut at the 2026 UCI World Cup Downhill Series.
Drawing on the euphoric energy of the 1980s rave scene: an underground realm of seething warehouse parties, sweat-drenched basements, abandoned shops and crumbling railway arches, this vision is fused with the acid house uniform of
day-glo, of baggy silhouettes and smiley-face T-shirts.
Back then, this was more than fashion. It was anti-fashion. A deliberate rejection of status signals.
The parallels today are clear, even if the contrasts feel sharper than ever….. but this is just the beginning!
