The Huberbuam's thirst for adventure: from climbing to e-bikes

The Huberbuam – brothers Alexander and Thomas Huber – are among the most renowned extreme climbers in the world. As pioneers of free climbing, they have set milestones in alpine climbing and are considered true icons within the mountaineering community.

With impressive first ascents, daring speed records, and spectacular climbing routes ranging from Patagonia and the Dolomites to El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, the Huberbuam have made a name for themselves – not only through physical peak performance, but also through their deep connection to nature and the mountains.

At first, the Huberbuam were very skeptical about e-bikes. As purist climbers, they rejected any form of assisted technology. However, they soon realized that e-bikes allow them to conserve energy and use it more effectively for climbing.

By using e-bikes, they expanded their range and recognized that they are practically indispensable for demanding climbing and mountaineering. Even for people from flatter regions, it is often hard to imagine that even top-level mountaineers can benefit from the support of an e-bike.

The first meeting with Konrad Irlbacher, founder and CEO of corratec, happened rather by chance. But this initial encounter quickly developed into a friendship. The Huberbuam were impressed by the corratec bikes, and a close collaboration began.

Today, the Huberbuam are part of the corratec family and have jointly developed an e-bike that perfectly meets their demands as mountaineers and adventurers.

Developed together with corratec, the MTC 140 Huberbuam combines freedom, a spirit of adventure, and everyday practicality. Featuring a robust frame, precise technology, and a large rear rack, it offers everything explorers need – with space even for skis.

Whether on challenging trails, commuting, or heading out on mountain tours – the MTC 140 Huberbuam is always ready and a true all-rounder for those who want to explore new paths.

E-bikes have revolutionized the mountaineering world of the Huberbuam. They allow them to conserve energy and use it strategically for climbing. This expands their range and enables them to experience new adventures.

With the MTC 140 Huberbuam, the Huberbuam have created an e-bike perfectly tailored to their needs, offering new freedom and a spirit of adventure on two wheels.
