Steve Peat is a legend among cyclists. He started racing in 1992 and has been a part of the Santa Cruz Syndicate team for many years. Steve achieved his proudest moment in cycling in 2009, when he won the 2009 UCI DownHill World Championship:
“Winning the World Championships in Australia, it felt like the whole world was congratulating me after that win. I have been trying to win the race for 17 years and had 4 silver medals and numerous close results. It has been the monkey on my back and I have had so much support from sponsors and fans that it feels unreal to finally do it. Thanks to everyone for the years of support.” – stevepeat.com
Lizard Skins started sponsoring Steve years ago; originally he rode one blue and one red dual compound Moab grip. We were stoked to launch Steve’s signature Peaty lock-on grip shortly after Interbike 2007.
“I am so happy I got to work with Brian at Lizard Skins. Together we have made the nicest feeling grips on the scene; the Peaty grip fits every hand size and just feels awesome on the bars.” – Steve Peat
Steve rides: Peaty grips of course! He rides the white grip with red and blue rings.
