Meet Our Athlete Roster
Rémy Métailler
“I’m a professional mountain biker from the South of France where legends like Nicolas Vouilloz inspired my passion for mountain biking. Following the evolution of freeriding, my dream was to ride in British Columbia. Fast forward a few years and I’ve been fortunate to call it home ever since. Partnering with NOBL Wheels is a natural fit—great products, full customization, and based near some of my favourite trails. I’m always excited to ride more, explore new locations, and create fresh content to share the stoke.“

SYD and MACKY
“We’re two professional mountain bike racers on a quest to race the best and most challenging mountain bike races around the world and sharing those adventures on YouTube and Instagram. Doing our best to #bemoreawesome!
We love our NOBL wheels! We’ve put them through the wringer racing in a variety of events and conditions — everything from high speeds and loose descending down a volcano at Trans Andes to the steep, muddy tracks at Trans Madeira — and they’ve handled it all.”

Mark Matthews
“I’m a freerider, adventurer and trail builder from Vancouver Island, Canada. I’ve spent much of my career filming on unique trails I’m often credited with building. Progression is my passion within my riding, my community, and my content.“

Kirsten Van Horne
“I’m a professional freeride mountain biker raised in Nelson, BC. I started mountain biking in my late teens, and got obsessed with progressing to harder lines and bigger jumps.
In 2025 I was invited to and competed in Red Bull Rampage, which was a huge milestone and confidence boost! I’m excited to partner with NOBL as a Canadian brand and test these wheels through my diverse calendar of events in 2026″

Cory Wallace
“I’m Cory Wallace and grew up in the Rocky Mountains of Jasper, Alberta. Nowadays you can find me all over the world racing and adventuring on my mountain and gravel bikes.
NOBL is a perfect fit for me as durable and lightweight wheels are a huge priority for my riding, whether that’s winning 24HR World Championships or venturing to the farthest corners of this earth. NOBL can customize wheels to my exact needs which means I will always know that I’m running the lightest and most durable setup for wherever I am. I also love the customer support and the fact they are a Canadian brand from the West Coast.”
Dean Tennant
“Hi I’m Dean, a mountain biker from Vancouver Island. I love all styles of riding but my favorite is downhill. I grew up racing the Island Cup and BC cup series and nowadays I still race for fun, but also love creating fun videos for my instagram and Youtube channel.
Riding NOBL wheels, my maintenance time spent on wheels has dropped to pretty much nothing: I just have total peace of mind knowing my wheels are going to handle whatever I throw at them.”

Carter nieuwesteeg
“I’m Carter, an off-road endurance bike racer raised in Fernie, BC, now splitting my time between home and Victoria.
I started my race career focused on XCO, but after a memorable gravel race experience, I pivoted to including more and more gravel events in my calendar.
Fresh off a 2025 Downieville Classic win, I’m ready to tackle more downcountry events in 2026 (not just gravel!).
Alongside racing, I created and organize four events in the Anything Goes Event Series”

emmy lan
I am a Canadian professional mountain bike racer born and raised in the Comox Valley. As my “howmetown” brand, riding NOBL wheels feels like the perfect fit.
My career so far has been dedicated to World Cup Enduro and Downhill racing, and I’m excited to focus on the Crankworx World Tour and National events in 2026.
Lief Rodgers
“My name is Lief Rodgers, I’m from Port Moody, BC and I love racing bikes! I’m a full time EDR world cup racer heading into my first year in elite and a part time electrician.
As a privateer racer it’s important that I have 100% trust in my components. My NOBL wheels held up to a full season of EDR World Cup abuse without any truing or maintenance at all.”
Jo Peters: Jo & Co. Mountain Bike Coaching
“I coach mountain biking and race enduro all summer, and ski and sled all winter. I work as an RMT at a multi-disciplinary clinic in town as my day job. My riding style is smooth, flowy and fast and I love trails that offer a mix of intuitive jumps and raw tech with good dirt or granite.
Riding NOBL wheels allows me to fully trust my bike. I know I can straight-line through chunder and push hard into corners.”
Nic Zilinski: VanCan
“I’m a part time content creator, full time PhD candidate, and A-Line addict. The #1 benefit NOBL wheels bring to my riding is: no maintenance, bar none. They take my abuse and just keep rolling. My upcoming year will be full of more traveling, more riding, and graduating…hopefully.
