Elliot Smith is based in Queenstown, New Zealand, and is all about testing himself across every discipline at a high level. At 23, he is focused on pushing limits on bikes and exploring new challenges wherever the trails take him. His Kona Remote 160 DL is his go-to, a bike he describes as fast, confidence-inspiring, and endlessly fun.

He thrives on natural tech trails, the kind that make you work for every bit of flow, and big jump sessions with a crew never fail to get him fired up. This year he has a massive gravel and bikepacking trip planned, two 160 km days back-to-back with serious elevation. Off the bike, Elliott keeps the creativity flowing through his music, playing guitar and singing whenever he can, and dreaming of the next adventure on and off the trail.
