Traditional brand Cilo grabs a new brand ambassador

Maxi Dickerhoff, former professional mountain biker, editor and experienced marketing strategist, is now taking on the role of brand ambassador for the Swiss e-bike brand Cilo.

Dickerhoff's career has taken the trained toolmaker from the workbench to the editorial office of mtb-news.de and on to the management levels of renowned bicycle brands. The experienced industry expert can look back on an extraordinary career, which is precisely what sets him apart: "I have constantly reinvented myself, sought out challenges and mastered them." In his new role at Cilo, he will bring the brand philosophy "We embrace, but race" to life.

"We are delighted to be working with Maxi from now on. For us, the sport of mountain biking is characterized by mastering sporting challenges, surpassing oneself, solidarity and a sense of community. And Maxi has embodied all of this for many years. As a former professional athlete, he contributes his experience and expertise at various levels, and we are also looking forward to many exciting content projects that we are already planning," says Maud von Hoff, Brand Manager at Cilo, summarizing the commitment.

In the pipeline is, among other things, the development of his own YouTube channel "Supertrails - with Maxi Dickerhoff". With this format, Maxi and his co-founders want to make the essence of mountain biking accessible to like-minded people and present the best trails at a glance. "In 2025, we will also be tackling a project close to our hearts: Together with Markus Greber, we will launch the most exciting Alpine cross route for e-mountain bikers. Exceptional single trails, breathtaking nature and the most beautiful overnight accommodation with charging infrastructure. I can hardly wait," enthuses Maxi Dickerhoff.

In his private life, Maxi Dickerhoff prefers to ride the "Kyano C Enduro" model with Light-Assist, which perfectly suits his lively riding style and offers him maximum freedom on the trails. He particularly appreciates the fact that Cilo deliberately breaks away from the standardized look of the bike industry with eye-catching designs and unmistakable aesthetics. But he also has a very personal connection to the Cilo brand: "My mother has owned an original Cilo Swiss racing bike from 1986 for almost 40 years. This gem is older than me and has been with me all my life. The bike will also play a central role in our first content piece. The video can be seen for the first time at the E-Bike Days in Munich, where Maxi will be there as an ambassador.
