Benjamin Bartholomé - The happy fast gourmet
Plant powered occasional racer, good times ambassador and the team's very own nutritionist 😋
As a founding member of the Squad, Benny's played a key role in introducing some of our long time supporters to the team. Benny rides a bike with a reach of 437mm, which doesn't stop him from sending spicy gaps and steep chutes.
When not out on the bike, you'll find him on a yoga mat or in his kitchen, working on delicious recipes to keep the riders fueled during epic bike trips and race weekends.
Strengths: Happiness
Weaknesses: falling off the bike on race day, bike maintenance, spicy food
Goals for 2021:
Ride as much and as many new trails as possible
Put a smile on as many people's faces as possible
Race whatever is not canceled due to covid
Max Meinhold - Meinhold Airlines
Max is the youngest rider in our team and is focusing on earning points for the Downhill World Cup next season in order to compete with the pros again in 2022. We are keeping our fingers crossed that Max can achieve his dream. You can do it! 🙂
Strengths: airtime lover, ambition
Weaknesses: no patience, spicy food
Maik Höhne - Experience meets perfection, meets ambition, meets impatience, meets passion, meets a heart of gold.
The brain and driving force behind the team is a man who knows a thing or two about riding and wrenching bikes. With over 25 years in the saddle, Maik has spent more time between the tape than the rest of the team altogether. Being the mad scientist that he (literally) is, Maik strives for perfection on the bike as well as in the work shop. Off the bike, Maik turns into a loving and caring father and a aficionado of the Italian cuisine.
Strengths: line choice, consistency, work ethics, generosity
Weaknesses: impatience, perfectionism, being old and stubborn
Goals for 2021:
- European Downhill Cup full series
- European Championship
- Masters World Championship
