Bart Brentjens lets American Eagle fly again

American Eagle? Anyone who first thinks of a cassette with twelve sprockets is wrong. Twenty years ago, Bart Brentjens won the first ever Olympic gold medal on a mountain bike on a hardtail from this manufacturer. Now the revival of American Eagle is imminent.

On Twitter, Facebook and Instagram - the once iconic manufacturer American Eagle is already alive again at these locations. Things are set to kick off again in spring 2017: Bart Brentjens is teaming up with his former team companion Henk Schipper and is planning a hardtail and a full suspension for the launch.

Bart Brentjens rode to gold at the World Championships in 1995 and gold at the Olympic Games in cross country the following year. He won these titles on American Eagle bikes, after which he switched to Specialized. Henk Schipper, the owner of the American Eagle name rights, is known in the bike industry as the founder of the Fast Forward wheel brand. Schipper and Brentjens also share sporting experience, having ridden together in the Dutch national team in 1993.

Success in sport should also be taken care of: Brentjens' team will be equipped with the new American Eagle bikes in the future
