Cycling: The German frame manufacturer Solid has been in business for many years and has established itself with great independent downhill bikes during this time. For the first time in the new year, they will have their own World Cup team, the Solid Reverse Factory Racing Team.
For Peter Schmid, owner of Solid Bikes and its subsidiary Reverse, 2015 will definitely be one of the most exciting years ever. For the first time, they have their own World Cup team and Morgane Charre, the 2012 downhill world champion, is on board.
"We built it and we race it! Racing has always been my great passion and a driving motivation to further develop ourselves and our products.", says Peter Schmid on the latest project. In addition to Charre, the team will consist of Stefan Garlicki, Harry Molloy, Josh Lowe and German young star Joshua Barth. They will compete in all world cups and other big downhill races on the new Solid Strike 27.5.
In addition to Solid as the main sponsor, the team can also rely on the support of BOS Suspension, Schwalbe tires, Sapim spokes, the clothing label Clockwork and Reverse Components.
