Ex-Nukeproof shredder Owen Robinson has joined Privateer Bikes. Owen will be riding the new 161 with HUNT mountain wheels.
Privateer press release:
Welcome to the Squad, Owen Robinson!
Some riders are fast, some are fearless, and then there’s Owen Robinson—a rider who redefines both. Known for his raw speed, relentless style, and uncanny ability to make the impossible look easy, Owen embodies everything that Privateer Bikes is about. And now, we’re stoked to welcome him to the team.
A Privateer for Privateer
Privateer Bikes has always been about cutting through the fluff with no-nonsense, race-ready enduro and trail bikes that are built to go full gas and still get you home in one piece. Owen’s weapon of choice? The latest Privateer 161, a bike that epitomizes what Privateer Bikes stands for—durability, adjustability, and outright speed.
With the updated A.L.P suspension platform, oversized 42mm main pivot bearings, and a forged one-piece rocker, the 161 is built to handle the kind of punishment that Owen dishes out daily. The adjustable rear centre and seat stay flip chip let you switch between a full 29er or mullet setup without compromising geometry, kinematics, or handling—just set it, send it, and repeat.
Who is Owen Robinson?
If you don’t already know Owen, you’re about to. As part of The Firm—a crew of aggressive, full-throttle riders—Owen is known for making the impossible look easy. With precision and confidence, he threads the needle through rock-strewn chutes and sends gaps most wouldn’t even consider—his riding does all the talking.
That’s why we’re stoked to see what he can do on the 161. With a bike designed to go full-send and a rider who thrives on pushing limits, this partnership is set to be something special. And because no Privateer should go into battle without the right kit, Owen will also be rolling on HUNT mountain wheels, ensuring The Firm stays rolling strong throughout 2025.
Follow the Journey
This is just the beginning. Expect big things from Owen, The Firm, and Privateer Bikes this season. Follow along on social media and keep up with the action—trust us, you won’t want to miss it.
