Project Mission

Our aim is to support young riders and help them in their journey to become the best they can be. We hope to help some riders make it onto the world stage, turn pro and inspire the next generation.

Background

I (Kashi) setup the devo programme as a way to share some of my past experiences after 13 years racing on the world cup. My wife (Roshni) plus our two kids, Jasper and Laksmi moved from Dunedin to Rotorua in 2022, in part to be more involved with the high performance MTB scene again. My goal is to reduce the costs of entry for young riders and their families by offering better deals on bikes and parts. And then to try offer some guidance and mentorship to the riders as they start to approach international racing.

Partners & Sponsors

We have great collaboration from a number of companies to help support the riders:

Yeti Cycles are supporting the programme from head office with some extra support at the product level. We have a very strong relationship with the international team so our riders usually can expect some level of support when travelling.

Shimano, Lazer, Maxxis, Fox, DT Swiss and G Form all provide some level of free or discounted product to keep the team going strong and looking good.

We are open to any sponsorship enquiries who are genuinely interested in supporting the team and our mission!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Selection Process 

We recently selected a large group into 2025 Devo team, so won't be accepting any new riders in the near term.

We welcome riders to send us their CV's or come introduce yourself at events if you are interested in being part of any of the YETI NZ Racing programmes or riding a Yeti !!
