The gladiatorial battle of the mountain bikers is about to begin

In a duel, Nino Schurter and Claudio Caluori will challenge each other on the World Cup downhill course in Lenzerheide and collect donations for the "Pump for Peace" project. On October 9, 2021, the two will battle it out on a 400-metre circuit, using high-performance e-mountain bikes to conquer the 10,000 meters of elevation gain. The aim is to raise one million euros for Pump for Peace and thus make cycling accessible to more people around the world.

In the test of strength between the reigning cross-country world champion Nino Schurter and the former Swiss downhill champion Claudio Caluori, both will be relying on the power of their e-mountainbikes. The winner will be the first to complete the 400-metre circuit between the Rothornbahn valley station in Lenzerheide and the Scharmoin intermediate station ten times on Saturday, October 9, 2021. The route is uphill on the road and downhill on the World Cup downhill course. In order to complete the 25 laps and a total of over 10,000 meters of ascent and descent, it is permitted to switch between mountain bike and battery several times.

The aim of the fundraising campaign is to raise one million euros for Pump for Peace projects. The aim is to make cycling accessible to all people around the world, in particular by building pump tracks and other accompanying measures in projects in Africa, Central and South America, Asia and the Middle East. The "Neverresting" campaign is also supported by well-known partners and sponsors of Nino Schurter and Claudio Caluori, including Sram, Scott, Vittoria, PeakPunk and GoPro. Donations can be made directly on the Pump for Peace website and will go directly to the pump track projects.
