Born in 2008, Swiss mountain bike talent Raoul Schneeberger has quickly established himself as one of the rising stars in downhill, freeride, and BMX. Driven by a passion for adrenaline and the constant pursuit of new challenges, he grew up riding the trails of Europe’s bike parks, continuously pushing his limits.
Coming from a family deeply connected to the cycling world, he often shares his adventures with his brother Emric as part of the collective Les 9 Roues, documenting their experiences through challenging descents, travels, and creativity. Thanks to this, Raoul has built a strong online presence, inspiring a new generation of young riders.
On the competition side, he has shown steady progression: a winner and multiple medalist in national and European championships, he has confirmed his potential on the international scene. In 2025, he notably secured an impressive 8th place at the World Championships in Champéry (U19 Downhill), marking a key milestone in his career.
Now a member of the Goodman Santacruz team, Raoul combines competitive spirit with freeride creativity, aiming to secure his place among the world’s downhill elite.
