Racing since the late 90’s, Julien Poomans is no stranger to DH, whether in the French team, the World Cup or US Norba. Unfortunately, the former Junior World Champion disappeared from the MTB scene soon after 2004, but now, he’s back and leading the way, riding the innovative Giant Fuel E 2, equipped with some of the best kit from Tribe Sport Group.

According to Julien, he’s not officially race-ready, but looking at this video, talent is still in ample supply with his flowing riding style looking to take the E-MTB world by storm.

An Enduro E-MTB Trophy is being launched later this year by Tribe Events. We’ll keep you updated nearer the time.
