Words by Wyatt // Photos by Wyatt Peterson and Mason Cameron // Shred-it by Alpenglow Cinema /// Photos + Video from the Virgin, Utah freeride zone
Welcome to the dust-blown, cliff-lined chaos of Virgin, Utah, where the freeride legend Bienvenido Aguado (aka Bienve as his friends call him) makes gravity look negotiable and Red Bull Rampage lines look like warm-up laps.
This is his latest shred-it. And yeah…it’s glorious in all the best ways with huge drops, wild whips, and that effortless “don’t worry, I’ve got this” style that is so “Bienve” and makes the rest of us mere mortals sweat.

But while the world sees the tricks and the sponsors (oh, so many logos), what they don’t see is what’s inside the tires.
Spoiler Alert…it’s us, Tannus! More specifically, Tannus Tubeless Tire Inserts.
The Sponsor You Didn’t Spot (But Definitely Felt)

Let’s just get this out there in the open: This video is basically a love letter to every other sponsor Bienve has…with little to no showing of us.
Bienve’s bike? Dialed!
His Kit? Bold and loud in the best ways.
And that’s great, that’s one of the many reasons we love Bienve. We genuinely admire the brands helping push freeride mountain biking forward. Even if the Tannus logo is nowhere to be found in the main edit.
And honestly, we don’t mind not having a close up. We’re inside the tires, and that’s exactly where we want to be and where we belong.

Why Bienve Runs Tannus Tubeless Inserts
Let’s talk bike setup, because when you’re flipping cliffs at Rampage-level exposure, every component counts.
Bienve rides with Tannus Armour Tubeless for one reason...Trust!
- He can run lower tire pressure for better traction in the loose Virgin soil.
- He gets sidewall support in deep compressions.
-
He doesn’t have to worry about flat tires, rim strikes, or mid-line failures.
Our tubeless tire inserts give him control, protection, and confidence on terrain that would make most riders call their mom and go home.
And when a rider like Bienve trusts you? You take that seriously, because honestly that kind of trust means more than any billboard could.

Red Bull Rampage Vibes, Tannus-Level Support
This wasn’t a Rampage event, but it might as well have been.
Virgin, Utah is where Red Bull Rampage legends are born, and Bienve brought that same fearless energy to every line we filmed.
Steep roll-ins, exposed takeoffs, and landings that only make sense when you watch them in slow motion, if you want to know the extreme limits tubeless tire inserts are really made for, this is it!
And yeah, Tannus Armour Tubeless is along for every landing, every drift, every "how did he land that?" moment.
What Bienve Says About Riding with Tannus
You’ll hear it straight from him in the interview. Not scripted, just real talk about how tire inserts help him ride harder and cleaner, without the fear of flats messing everything up.
In his words:
“I trust them. They work.”
Which is honestly all we need to hear.
The Other Brands Looked Great Too (You're Welcome)
Let’s not pretend this video doesn’t do a great job of showcasing Bienve’s entire gear kit and sponsors! From his custom frame to the sticker-loaded helmet, the camera work is… let’s say generous.
And while we may be the invisible gear sponsor in the background, we’re more than happy to carry the weight (literally and figuratively) for the production of this video. Because the beauty of freeride MTB is that it’s raw, untamed, and deeply personal, but it’s also a team effort when it comes to the technical, the deliberate, and the gear.
What makes a Red Bull Rampage-worthy line possible isn’t just the rider’s talent, it’s the trust in the bike beneath them and the gear they carry.
