Krush Bikes will become the title sponsor of Biehler Pro Cycling from next season. The well-regarded development team will continue under the new name Biehler Krush Pro Cycling.
The squad of 11 talented riders will tackle their road races aboard the Krush Aero Deluxe, a bike focused primarily on performance but also offering comfort. The bike is designed to help the riders push their limits even further next season.
Milo van Wermeskerken of Krush Bikes expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership:
“We’re a young, ambitious bike brand. With a small team, we put in our best effort every day for our customers. We don’t just offer a great bike that fits their needs, but we tailor it exactly to their preferences. We stand for affordable, high-quality racing bikes with exceptional service.”
“Since we mainly focus on the Dutch market, partnering with Biehler Pro Cycling made a lot of sense for us. This collaboration is a great opportunity to show the Netherlands what riders can do on our bikes. It also means more people will get to know our brand.”
“We also really connect with the team’s ethos. We’re a company in development with people who give their all every day, constantly working to improve our products and service. That drive to get better every day is something we strongly recognise in Biehler Pro Cycling. We share a vision and a goal, and we’ll do everything we can to achieve it. Our initial talks with team management and riders were positive, and that feeling has only grown stronger. We can’t wait to see the riders shine on our bikes!”
Merel Hofman will begin her second year at UCI level in 2020 and has already logged many kilometres on the Krush Aero Deluxe during training camp in Spain.
“It’s a top bike,” she said. “Krush might not yet be a household name, but their bikes easily match the big brands. I was especially impressed with the stiffness. I’m heading into the new season with great confidence.”
“As a team, it’s really important to us that brands align with who we are. Our clothing sponsor Biehler is a great example, and Krush fits that mould just as well. We, the riders, were involved in the process and all got the impression that Krush suits our team very well. I’m very happy to have Krush on our side and can’t wait to race on such an excellent bike.”
