Michał Śliwa

Michał is one of the best downhill racers in it’s history in Poland. He has been competing for the last 10 years in which he had reached more than 50 times podiums and wins both in the National Cup and Championship. He is the current Polish DH champion. He also regularly races the Euro and World cups.
Michał is a real speed freak - outside of biking he does MX, car rallying and skiing in the winter. Michał comes from Myślenice - one of the best know biking towns in Poland. He finished a firemen officer school and is a professional firefighter.
He decided to ride for Dartmoor last season and agreed to test our wheels using our prototype Quantic rear hub, Lite-Force front hub and Raider rims. In the 2011 season he will test even more as Michał will test our Nitro bar, new version of Rage stem, Fever pedals, Rush chainguide and new chainring prototype.
