Pinkbike interviews Bodie Heflin at Les Gets.
Bodie represents everything RKT Optics stands for — raw talent, relentless progression, and a commitment to
pushing past boundaries. His story isn’t polished or corporate. It’s real. It’s earned. And it mirrors the same
energy behind the best MTB and MX goggles we build for riders who refuse to settle.
RKT is a rider-run brand, built on the idea that athletes deserve better gear without inflated pricing or fake hype.
Bodie embodies that same spirit — a rider who shows up, puts in the work, and pushes limits without waiting for permission.
Bodie’s Unmatched Determination
Bodie isn’t here to look the part — he’s here to race. To learn. To fail forward. To get back up and do it again.
That mentality is exactly why riders everywhere are paying attention. His journey shows what can happen when a rider
has clarity — both in vision and in purpose.
It’s the same clarity we engineer into every set of RKT goggles using our Lumex™ contrast lenses. Riders like Bodie
need fast reaction time, better depth perception, and clear visibility through sun, shade, dust, and speed.
That’s why he runs RKT.
The RKT Ethos: Built for Riders Like Bodie
RKT Optics isn’t a corporate brand trying to sell a lifestyle. We are riders who build goggles we actually want to use.
Bodie’s relentless drive reflects that ethos perfectly:
- Zero excuses. Only progression.
- Gear built for real conditions, not showroom shelves.
- A focus on performance over hype.
- Community over corporate marketing.
That’s why this partnership matters — it’s more than a rider wearing goggles. It’s a shared mindset.
Support the Movement
“Let Bodie Race” isn’t just a phrase — it’s a statement about giving real riders the platform they deserve.
Bodie puts in the work. He shows the hunger. He shows the commitment. Supporting riders like him fuels the future
of MTB and MX.
