This is Nico

Welcome to the world of downhill mountain biking with Nico Grip Haglev, 17 years old—a rising force now and into the future. 

I’m a full-time cycling athlete, hungry for more speed, bigger jumps, and deeper trails across Europe and beyond.

About Me

I kickstarted my downhill journey in 2014. Fast forward: I became Junior Norwegian Champion, won my first national downhill title, and have since transitioned into elite racing. 

I’m building on this momentum for my final junior year—gearing towards podiums, top-15 finishes in Worlds, and preparing to launch my Elite World Cup season.

Riding Style & Personality

I’m an explorer on two wheels—whether it’s downhill MTB, freeride, slopestyle, dirt-jumping, enduro, or motocross. I live for the challenge, the adrenaline, and pushing the limits. Off the track, I’m social by nature—riding with friends, sharing the vibe, and building community .

Behind the
scenes

My family’s support is my foundation. We stationed a custom semitrailer in Barcelona to maximize travel efficiency for races and training camps. In 2025 alone, we logged 40,000 km—from Portugal to Croatia, from Granada to Norway .

This mobile setup allows me to chase the best downhill MTB courses, optimize training, and ensure peak performance throughout the season.

4 quick facts:

First backflip? MTB at 10, motocross at 12

Motocross roots: Started at age 5; raced until 12 and still ride off-season

Number 84: My tribute to motocross hero Jeffrey Herlings

Top World Cup tracks: Val di Sole & La Thuile
