RAAW News 06 / 2025 (RAAW Riders Edition)


Hello Reader,

When we started RAAW, sending out each frame felt a bit like a heartbreak. We poured so much into every detail, it was hard not to feel like we were parting with something special. These days, with more bikes heading out the door, that feeling has eased a bit – but it never fully goes away.

And then a build like the Fox Podium Edition Madonna comes along, and it hits all over again. It just clicks. Looks right, rides right – and makes you wish you could keep one in your living room.

Also in this newsletter: a new jersey we cooked up with Monserat, early-season racing stories from the Gravity School Racing crew, the winner of our €500 survey voucher, and - exclusive to RAAW riders - this month’s community deal for all of you who like to ride prepared.

Limited Edition Alert: Madonna V3 Fox Podium Build Kit

We’ve paired up with Fox to create something special – the Madonna V3 Fox Podium Edition. Built around the all-new Fox Podium fork, this limited run features top-tier suspension, Shimano’s new wireless XTR drivetrain, and silver Newmen Beskar rims usually reserved for the pros. It’s a build that screams high-performance and looks just as sharp. Orders are open now – but stock is extremely limited.

Catching up with Jack Reading and the team at Phoenix Gravity Park

Grinding through the off-season: While most World Cup tracks were still under snow, Jack Reading and the Gravity School Racing team were already logging lap after lap in Portugal. Their playground? Phoenix Gravity Park – Jack’s own training ground. Check out the video and join the crew as they prep for a stacked season of racing.

Fresh Threads: RAAW x Monserat Jersey Two Black

Ride fast, look clean: We’ve teamed up with Monserat to bring you a no-fuss, all-style RAAW jersey. Made in Europe from 100% recycled fabric, it’s built to breathe – whether you’re grinding uphill or dropping in. Subtle branding, clean lines, and year-round performance. Available now.

Hello Reader, It’s been a couple of weeks since we launched the new Yalla!! V2 – and we’re stoked about all the messages and positive feedback we’ve received since.

And since so many of you asked, here’s a quick summary of everything you need to know about the MX setup: Who is the MX setup...
