The performance intelligence platform for XC mountain biking.
Predict &
Scout the Course
Digital twin models of every course on your race calendar. Know where you'll be faster or slower compared to whom you're racing, and exactly what it will take to win.
98.5% lap-time accuracy. Validated at USA Cycling Nationals and on the UCI World Series.
Train the Gaps.
Race the Plan.
Close the loop between what the terrain demands and what you can deliver. Personalized training recommendations for the exact weaknesses that cost you time to your rivals.
Not generic.
Race-specific. Rival-specific.
Become THE
Complete Athlete
Our six-pillar development curriculum integrate Fitness, Skills, Tactics, Mindset, Professionalism, and Engineering — the same framework used to support elites on the World Cup.
One system.
No guesswork.
The Problem.
Right now, it's all guesswork.
$1000s per season spent. Zero prediction.
Competitive racers spend thousands on coaching, travel, and camps — then arrive at race day with less course intelligence than a rookie go-kart driver on a practice day.
Every key decision — pacing, positioning, equipment — is improvised in the moment.
No platform connects what the terrain demands to what the rider can deliver to what they should do about it.
The athletes with the most to gain have the least access to the intelligence elite sport takes for granted.
"I started Slay because I watched my daughter, and other aspiring racers, train all year and arrive at national races blind. Athletes with the most to gain have the least access to the intelligence elite sport takes for granted."
Jason Wiener, Team PrincipalNo Clear Pathway.
U.S. MTB development leaves talent unguided between NICA and the World Cup. Other countries have long-term, standardized progression systems that connect youth racing to elite performance with consistency.
The U.S. has passionate ecosystems — but has yet to establish a unified development architecture.
"What do I do next? It's so unclear..."
Promising riders stall before reaching international potential — not because of lack of talent, but lack of structure.
The Solution.
Slay: Performance Intelligence for XC MTB.
F1 teams don't show up to circuits with a stopwatch and hope for the best. They model the track, simulate performance, develop strategies, and execute. The UCI WorldTour barely knows this. MTB doesn't know they don't know this.
Slay brings that intelligence to every rider below World Cup level.
Train the gaps. Race the plan. Improve every time.
Slay is a structured, standards-based system that guides athletes from first competitive seasons through elite international performance. Every element — fitness, skills, execution, mindset, and technical preparation — is intentionally connected.
We don't guess what to train next.
We define it. We measure it. We simulate it.
And we build it in the right order.
The Six Pillars.
Every Slay pathway level delivers across all six pillars simultaneously — no aspect of development left to chance.
Fitness
Speed, pacing, power, durability, and performance baselines calibrated to course demands and rival targets.
Skills
Technical, tactical, and mechanical competence — verified hands-on, not just watched in a video.
Tactics
Race craft, pacing strategy, data-driven scouting, and scenario management for any course condition.
Mindset
Resilience, confidence, focus, sports psychology, and race-day readiness from former Red Bull elite coaches.
Professionalism
Media, branding, sponsor relations, and team dynamics — the skills that define a career beyond the podium.
Engineering
Data-validated bike setup, vCrr optimization, and pre-race practices that reveal free speed before you race.
The Slay Pathway.
Six defined grades from first NICA race to UCI World Cup. Each grade has clear benchmarks, defined standards, and a measurable path forward. You always know where you are, what's expected, and what it takes to move up.
Try Slay for yourself.
Join the Pathway.
Choose your grade and plug into the first data-driven development system in U.S. cross-country mountain biking.
Weekly pillar assessments. Digital twin race preparation. Gap analysis tied to your rivals and race calendar. Smart trainer simulations that match the actual course.
They don't want more data. They want certainty.
Arrive & Ride.
The easiest and best way to experience Slay is to race alongside us. Join us for US Pro Cup races and at USA Cycling Nationals.
It's a one-race-at-a-time commitment with full weekend support — course scouting, gap analysis, mechanical support, pre-race briefing, in-race support (warm-ups and tech & feed zone love), and post-race debrief.
Just show up. We bring the experience. You bring the legs.
