Greg Minnaar to Ride the Gamut in 2008

February 11, 2008

Published by brule


2003 World Champion Greg Minnaar has teamed up with Gamut USA for the 2008 season. After his successful shoulder surgery last October, the South African rider is well prepared to write the next chapter in his already illustrious career during this year's campaign. Gamut is very pleased to have added Greg to its select team of riders, and looks forward to watching Greg race all over the globe this coming year.

"We are thrilled to have someone of Greg's caliber represent our brand," said Mateo Graziosi, Gamut co-founder. "We have long admired Greg's riding abilities, as well as his professionalism, character and dedication to the sport and his fans."

Greg will be running Gamut guides on his new Santa Cruz V10 while on the UCI World Cup tour, as well as other major events throughout the world.


"I'm really excited to be working with Gamut," says Greg. "After riding a gearbox bike for the past 4 years, I needed to really study my options when selecting a chain guide for my V10, as the technology in this area has really moved on.
I'm impressed both by the quality of Gamut's products and the level of support and enthusiasm coming from the company as we head into a new season and a new chapter in my career."

Greg is the latest addition to Gamut's growing team of world class riders. Gamut is proud to support the riding pursuits of mountain biking's top talent throughout the world.

Gamuts are the best guides, super light, chain never comes off. If specialized specs them then they got to be good eh? Ive rode them for the past couple of years and never had a prob. Greg is lucky.

I sport the same gamut guide as minaar, the guide is good, a little more quiet then the E13. Holds the chain relatively well (i never dropped a chain on my E13) despite the fact that it fell off a handful of times from the gamut.

That, and the Bashplate. Sure its light, but its not high quality. Its basic plastic, if you hit a rock it cracks at the bolts. Nothing beats the sturdiness of Lexan for situations like these.

6 brownie points from me to Gamut.

Haha - I mean he is a great rider and Gamut makes great products, but come on, from Honda G-Cross to a chain guide maker? He could do better.
