4DOWN SHOP TEAMS
We all started out the same; wasting our spare time away in the local bike shop, drooling over the newest parts in between riding missions. The shop supported the riders, and the riders supported the shop. Same as it’s always been.
With that said, we’re doing our best to give back to the shops and local scenes that support us. 4Down is proud to present our U.K. Shop team division.
In conjunction with shops throughout the U.K., 4Down is sponsoring a handful of shop riders. Scroll down this page to get the lowdown on local shop scenes throughout the U.K. The local bike shop is the foundation of every scene throughout the world, and 4Down is not about to forget that.
If you are a U.K. Bike shop interested in becoming a part of the 4Down shop sponsor program, please contact us on: 01424 433 074 or e-mail: info@4downdistribution.com
