The Rigs of Rampage 2026 - Women's Bike Checks

The Rigs of Rampage 2026 - Women's Bike Checks

Rampage is bringing us another exciting round of top-level female riders for the 25th year of the event. The progression seen in the past two years of this field competing has been exponential, and this year is looking like it will continue this trend of elevating women's riding. This year, we are seeing a strong contingency of FOX riders joining us in the desert to tackle the iconic hills of Utah. Let's take a closer look at how our four FOX riders have their bikes setup for finals day.



Kirsten Van Horne

2025 best trick winner Kirsten is back in 2026 with some big ambition. She has been putting in the hours up on the hill, crafting a line that plays to her big mountain strengths. Sizeable drops and steep chutes are the name of the game here. We are expecting some confident and big riding from her during finals. Her Rampage bike is setup with a 29 FOX 40 and Float X2 shock.



Mikayla Parton: Specialized Demo 8

Rampage rookie Mikayla is taking on her first lines of the Rampage course seriously. We've been seeing here putting down the hours of building and sending some of her features all week aboard her Demo 8. Built up with a 29er FOX 40 and DHX2 shock, she's got everything needed to stay planted into the dirt and hooking into loose berms around her line.


Natasha Bradley: Atherton S.200

Reigning Queen of Darkfest, Natasha Bradley, is also down in the desert for her first crack at the Red Bull Rampage course. After conquering some of the world's largest freeride lines, from Backyard battles to Natural Selection Tour, the desert of Utah came calling her name. Her Atherton S.200 DH bike is kitted out to handle the bigger lines this hill has to offer with a FOX 40 up front and a trusty Float X2 in the rear. Natasha had spent the majority of the year on a mini-mullet bike (27.5/26) but has opted to go up to a 29/27.5 setup for these steeper lines.




Georgia Astle: Devinci Chainsaw DH

Geo is running a fully custom wrapped Devinci Chainsaw. Similar to her setup in years past, she opted for a full 27.5 wheeled setup. To keep the geometry consistent on a bike that is usually a mullet, she is running a 29er fork paired with a 27.5 wheel. This setup is paired to a fully loaded Float X2 shock out back, providing her with the support needed on her big hits, but also the grip in sections of her run that are looser.
