After a long and successful racing career with numerous podium finishes in the enduro and downhill disciplines, René Wildhaber is now concentrating on new projects. "With his charismatic nature, the man from Flumserberg is an important popular figure for Trek. His versatility and great expertise make him the perfect ambassador for our growing trail and e-mountain bike range. With his racing blood still flowing through his veins, he will not miss the opportunity to continue competing in selected enduro adventures or individual EWS stops. He will also be used for various photo shoots and video shoots," announces Fabienne Gilliéron, Communication Manager at Trek.

Brand Manager Travis Ott is delighted about the extended cooperation with Wildhaber: "René Wildhaber has always been one step ahead in the mountain bike scene and industry. He rode enduro before enduro was on everyone's lips. He rode big mountain adventures before it became a trend. He recognized the potential of e-mountain bikes before the hype had started. In short, René is a trailblazing leader for the sport of mountain biking. I am extremely excited for Trek and René to continue working together and can't wait to see where he takes mountain biking next."

"During his time with the Trek Factory Racing Team, René proved to be one of the most consistent riders we've ever had. Hardly any other team rider managed to redefine the limits of what is possible with our equipment and in mountain biking in general like René," said the Trek Race Shop about René's change of function.
