In this beautiful autumn day the conditions were perfect. Head off to a cross-race in Langenzersdorf just next to Vienna: the athletes of Team Chase all showed a very good performance at the ‘King & Queen of Seeschlacht’. Our Chase Mud-rims – available as disk version and as rim-brake version – were perfect to fight in those tough race conditions.

The specific cross-country rims give comfort in the long straight but turbulent passages and at the same time enable the cyclist to pass trough the sharp curves fast. Our athlete Manfred Zöger reached with an excellent performance the second place in the overall standing in the 60′ elite-race behind a cyclist from Hungary. Second cross-race and second position on the podium. After his disease, Felix Ritzinger showed also that he is a powerful cyclist. He showed a good performance and for the next races you can definitely count on a position on the winner’s rostrum. Felix Schneider was one of the strongest bikers in the 40′ race. After catching up from a rear starting position he reached the leading group. He finished with a good performance and finally reached the third row in the overall standings. 

A great day for Team Chase.

It’s possibly been the amazing weather which made the start into the Cyclocross season so pleasant. Cloudless sunshine on October 15th in Langenzersdorf was the best contrivable condition for a fantastic race!

Only those, who have power, can keep up in the front. Therefore this was the perfect hardness and durability test for our new prototype.

There have been some points remaining from the last year so Felix could match with the fastest competitors in the last race of the day. He had 60 minutes to drive as much rounds as possible and achieve the best possible position.

With our prototype ChaseUP rim the bike could be moved easily over all kind of obstacles and waves of the circuit and could even facilely accelerate out of every switchback.

It’s been a fascinating event to start into the new season! We still can work on our position, but fun and passion was definitely put in the foreground this time.
