When you scroll through Kilian Bron’s feed, it’s easy to assume he’s living every mountain biker’s dream. Remote trails, incredible edits, once-in-a-lifetime adventures—it looks like a highlight reel of the perfect life on two wheels.

But there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes.

In this new short film, More Than a Rider, Kilian shares a different side of the story. One that’s honest, personal, and a little unexpected.

He talks about what it’s really like to live a life that revolves around performance, creativity, and constant travel. He opens up about the pressure of always needing to deliver, the mental weight of social media, and the challenge of staying true to yourself when everything is moving fast.

“Social media has been as beneficial to me as it pollutes my life today.”

Kilian’s not just riding bikes—he’s building a visual story with every trip. He’s part athlete, part filmmaker, part storyteller. And sometimes, that mix can get overwhelming.

“Sometimes I dream of isolation while also dreaming of being with others.”

What makes this film special is how real it feels. It’s not about showing off—it’s about showing up. As a human, not just a rider. The film explores where he came from, what drives him, and how he finds balance between passion, pressure, and peace.

So if you’re into riding, filming, creating, or just trying to figure things out—you’ll probably see a bit of yourself in Kilian’s words.
