Sina Frei

Sina Frei came to mountain biking relatively late, at the age of 12. In 2009, the Zurich native took part in her first races, in which she came in last place twice. Hard to believe! 10 years later, in 2019, Sina ventured into the elite after an impressive junior time. She quickly found her feet in the elite field and immediately finished 7th overall in the World Cup.

Sina has been part of the Specialized Factory Racing Team since the 2021 season. A season in which she won medals for Switzerland at the Olympics and at the World Championships.

"The new season starts in a few weeks! We can look forward to the performances of Sina and the Factory Racing Team, which is probably one of the best teams."
