As part of the deal, Holstein Kiel, the German football club who have recently been promoted to the German premier league (Bundesliga), kicked off the new season with 13 Revo Bow hardtail mountain bikes and 2 Allroad C Ekar gravel bikes from the premium bike manufacturer corratec, located in the Bavarian Alps. The bikes have been supplied to the "Storks" as the Holstein Kiel footballers are affectionately known to help the professionals from the German premier league football club train and maintain their fitness. The bikes will not only be used for rehab after injuries but also to help keep the professional footballers in shape during their breaks. This deal is also supported by the local bike dealer allrid-e from Nortorf who will help keep the bikes well-maintained. "This will help to bring the Bavarian bike spirit to North Germany" says Holger Dirks, Area Sales Manager for Northern Germany, who brings more than 30 years of experience in the cycling industry to the game.
