E-Performance: As of today's New Year's Day 2018, Sam Pilgrim will be on the road on a Haibike. The 27-year-old Briton is one of the big names in the freeride circus and is set to push the Haibike Xduro E-MTBs to their limits with immediate effect. In addition to spectacular videos, important insights for the development department should also emerge.
Pithy sayings, spectacular videos and his now almost iconic gap in the teeth - that's what the scene knows and loves Sam Pilgrim for. The 27-year-old from the south of England started his career in dirt, but over the years the bikes have gotten bigger and his lines more spectacular. It is now one of the most versatile gravity all-rounders in the world. At Haibike, Pilgrim succeeds Guido Tschugg, who was the brand ambassador and face of the Schweinfurt-based manufacturer’s e-MTBs until the end of 2017.
Pilgrim will focus primarily on the new XDURO E-MTBs, which have been given a facelift for 2018 and are clearly aimed at an extreme, gravity-oriented riding style. The great experience of the Brit should also benefit the further development of the bikes. At the FMB World Tour, Pilgrim will start at a few selected events in 2018 and prove with a specially made e-bike that you can also deliver spectacular action with a motorized bike. We are excited!
