There’s mountain biking… and then there’s Rémy Métailler mountain biking.
In his latest video, the gravity phenom takes us deep into British Columbia’s hidden riding gem: Powell River. But getting there is half the adventure—two ferries, three hours of travel, and a whole lot of anticipation lead to one of the most unique trail zones on the Sunshine Coast. And as always, Rémy brings the speed, the style, and the unmistakable confidence that comes with running Hayes Dominion A4 brakes.

A Journey Worth Every Turn
Rémy’s video begins with a road trip narrative that underscores how remote—and special—Powell River really is. After navigating ferries from Vancouver to the Sunshine Coast and again from Earl’s Cove to Saltery Bay, the reward is immediate: lush forest singletrack, granite slabs, and flowy descents that seem purpose-built for someone with Rémy’s riding style.

This is not your average trail sampler. It’s a raw, exhilarating tribute to speed and precision. Each line is scouted and sent at full tilt, making it clear why Rémy is one of the most exciting riders to watch. Whether he’s linking high-speed turns or scrubbing over technical features, there’s one constant: control under pressure.

Control Is Confidence – Dominion A4 at Work
Anyone who’s ridden at Rémy’s level—or even dreamed of it—knows that riding this fast doesn’t just come down to skill. It requires gear that performs without question. That’s where the Hayes Dominion A4 comes in.

Rémy runs the A4 for one simple reason: unmatched braking performance when it matters most. The four-piston caliper, QuickBite² pad system, and tool-free lever reach give him the perfect blend of modulation and brute stopping power. So when he dives into Powell River’s steeps and chutes, it’s not just confidence—it’s mechanical trust.

Even at the edge of traction, Rémy’s feather-light touch on the Dominion lever is all it takes to hold the line or bring the bike to a halt, exactly when and where he wants.

Powell River: A Rider’s Playground
The trails themselves are a highlight of the video—less hyped than Squamish or Whistler, but every bit as jaw-dropping. There are knife-edge ridgelines, sinewy loam sections, and immaculate bench-cut traverses that test both fitness and finesse. Watching Rémy shred through this network is like a masterclass in flow-state riding.

And it’s not just about the gnar. Powell River’s trails reward rhythm and bike handling—ideal for showcasing the predictable bite and supreme control of the Dominion system, especially under high-speed load.

Why It Matters for Riders Everywhere
Rémy’s Powell River adventure is a reminder of two truths:

There’s still unexplored gold on the map.

The right equipment turns the unknown into a playground.

For riders looking to unlock their own confidence—whether on local trails or remote slabs—a brake system like the Hayes Dominion A4 is a true enabler. It’s engineered for exactly this kind of riding: bold, technical, and unapologetically fast.

Conclusion: Watch It. Ride It. Feel It.
