Emil Johansson - A Slopestyle Sensation
Hailing from Sweden, meet Emil Johansson, often considered an icon when it comes to mountain biking and slopestyle riding. When you talk to his peers, they will refer to him in a league of his own, within no one above or beneath. Johansson has swiftly risen through the ranks of the mountain biking world, captivating audiences with his remarkable skills, innovative style, and unwavering passion for the sport and up-and-coming young guns.
We are beyond proud to have Emil on the team, both as a team rider and as an important piece in developing our mountain bike-game. And believe us when we say we got some big stuff coming up. In the meantime, let’s get to know Emil better.
The Sweet Protection Collaboration
Working with Emil Johansson will be a collective partnership, where Johansson is deeply integrated into the design and development process of new MTB helmets. For us at Sweet Protection this means maximizing world-leading rider insights in the design and development processes, which aligns with our goal of relentlessly searching for perfection.
Of course, both having Scandinavian roots, this spirit will be reflected in the new helmets fitting both Sweet Protection’s and Emil’s style.
