On the 17th of July in 2017, Manfred Zöger started at the traditional ASVÖ Austria Grand Prix in Windhaag bei Perg.

The spectacular circuit has developed to a classic, which demands highest concentration from every participant. Highlights of the track are the two very difficult keypoints ‘Höllenloch’ and ‘Ruinendownhill’.

Athlete Manfred Zöger started from second row and even managed to lead the race for a short period of time. He could not hold first position for a long time, but stayed in good position anyway. In the second round, a technical defect at the backwheel bothered him: the wheel had to be changed and Manfred lost precious time. For two rounds, the top-athlete had to sprint in order to reach the other riders. After some time, he catched them again.

Despite the hard setback and the other strong riders, he could place himself in the top-20 in the end.

Our Chase bottle surely helped him to achieve this top-performance. Its extremely low weight and high flexibility are also much appreciated by many other athletes. Especially in races the Chase bottles are being used more and more.

The Wienerwald Cup is a very famous time trial racing series, which consists of five single races, all organized by Radclub Mödling.

It’s a perfect opportunity for everyone who loves cycling to demonstrate one’s skills.

The Wienerwald is especially favoured by bikers, because of its beauty and straightforwardness. The Roads are fairly diversified, apart from many plane sections you will also have to overbear several elevation gains.

The bikers started on April 28th at 6:30pm in Gainfarn.

The grand final took place on June 9th. This time the bikers had to drive 15km and overbear 450m elevation gains.

The time trial races have been the perfect opportunity to test our ChaseUP wheels for stability. We can gladly report that they have been a proven success!

Just two weeks after his comeback at the “Velo Vertical Vienne 2017” Felix Ritzinger vigorously participated in a training camp in Vinschgau.

Due to a longer training break, Felix could unfortunately not train as hard as he did in the past.

Distance: 600km  Elevation gains: 15000m

These are numbers, which are definitely feared by most athletes. Nevertheless, Felix was on to every dodge and easily survived all 5 days of the camp.

However, you would not expect anything else from top athletes with ChaseUp equipment.

At the beginning of the cycling season 2016 a new racing series was launched. The Vienna Bahn-O-Rama is organised by individuals for enthusiastic cyclists.

Already at the fourth holding of the event a biker started for Chase.

There were several different race sessions.

Last Friday, on January 20th, the drivers have been divided in 2 separate groups, a fast group and rather slower one.

Subsequently, the two groups started in a 30- respectively 60-round Snowballcompetition.

In this special race session the drivers sprint every 10th round for points.

The special feature of the Snowballcompetition is that every 10th round the amount of points continuously increases, which means you will get the most points in the 50th and 60th round.

The organizers of the Vienna Bahn-O-Rama are providing an event with a familial atmosphere, ambitious race characteristics and loads of enthuasiasm.

Even race-newbies will have fun.

The much-loved Donauinsel-Crossrace in Vienna was fortunately saved by a joint Crowd-Funding-action.

Nearly 50 competitors took part in this demanding bike-event.

The course was highly attractive and quick.

The bikers faced fast meadow-passages, slippery incline sections and several steep ramps to run over.

The ChaseUP bike could handle all these demands without any trouble and could therefore proudly demonstrate their ability to easily work under pressure.

At this point we want to strongly express praise to the organizers for the successful revival of this demanding and fascinating race series!
