Biography
AON Racing is a downhill team in the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, racing since 2025. In its own words, it is backed by 'a quaternary of industry experts': Reece Wilson, the 2020 World Champion; the Swiss bike maker GAMUX; Rajd Sports Management and Rajd Cycling Club of Slovenia; and NET Performance. Its name comes from the Scottish Gaelic aonachd, meaning unity.
It is one of the few prototype teams in the series, racing GAMUX downhill bikes with a Pinion gearbox and a Gates belt drive.
In 2026 its downhill riders were Reece Wilson, Harriet Harnden, Henry Kerr and Stan Nisbet. Wilson was second at Pal Arinsal in July. In August Harnden won at Les Gets, the first elite World Cup downhill win on a belt-drive bike, then took bronze at the World Championships and finished second overall.
