Rounds 5 and 6 of the UEC European League series were held in Grandson (Switserland). Our European Factory Team was almost complete, only Marie Hossay was absent due to an injury. The Team had some good results with most riders making it to the mains on both days.Rune Deburchgraeve has been consistent making every main in this year’s series. He took 4th place on Saturday and on Sunday he won the Main event. His first international victory puts him in 3rd place of the Boys 13/14 ranking. Congrats Rune!

The team was excited to have the participation of Stephen Murray at a couple of visits, as his motivational message to the kids was widely received. We are hopeful he will be able to join us for many more visits in the future.

More often we spot CLiQ products at the UCI BMX Supercross events, where the best riders meet to take on a demanding track. To get out of the gate fast, and jump the big jumps, you need products you can trust. Today we show you the CLiQ cranks. If they work for the fastest riders out there, they'll work on your fast racing bike. Check out the info and photos for crank details below.
