Fluid Fin Race Team is a professional elite MTB XCO team. Based around brothers Sebastian and Hamish Batchelor, and joined by Tom Bell in 2015, the team was established for the start of the 2012 season with a no compromise approach to racing at the highest international level. We have seen some remarkable successes which exceeded even our own expectations and now entering our fourth season together with the support of our exceptional group of sponsors we’re looking to continue performing into the future.
