The former European Bike Trial Champion and Vice World Champion is passionate about taking on new challenges on his mountain bike. As a conqueror of the toughest and most exposed trails in the Alps, Stefan Eberharter regularly pushes the boundaries of what is rideable.

Stefan Eberharter relies on our RAPCON and our RAPCON :ePinion. He shares his breathtaking descents with his fans on Instagram and more.

His fans have admired the safety of his stoppie and manual landings on social media for years. However, Marius' roots lie in competing in downhill races, including several World Cups.

In the bike park season, Marius enjoys having his RAPCON and being carried up by the lift before he boards down coal-black trails. In spring and winter, he prefers to ride the RAPCON :eTQ.

Adventurer, bike skier & alpinist and probably one of the few people who use their bike as a ski lift.

Bike skiing is where ski touring and cycling meet - a combination that sounds both ingenious and slightly crazy. The motto? ‘Earn your turns’, because the powder snow simply tastes even better after a good climb.

Now he and two friends are travelling through Norway - on a bike and on skis. Simon puts his trust in our GRID. He will be sharing his breathtaking descents on his social media channel - follow along!
