Luca Schwarzbauer

Ergon Factory Rider

I am 25 years old, living in the little city of Nürtingen with the Swabian Alps in my backyard. It’s not the most famous area for cycling, but it’s the perfect place for me to get my training done. My home town nowadays is just next to the village in which I grew up. Since the age of 7, I was always riding my bike. Initially, cycling was just the perfect way to expend all my youthful energy. Today riding my bike is my job and I like it. In addition to racing full-time, I am also preparing for my future by working on my Bachelor’s in mechanical engineering. After being part of the Lexware mountain bike team for 9 years, I’ve been a proud member of the Canyon Cllctv family since 2022 and I can say that this year has been my most successful so far 😊

Cider drinkers are nature protectors

The saddle you can ride on for ages without having any issues. I am riding my bike every day and the saddle is probably the most important contact point so, this product is an absolute key product for me.

As for the grips, I love grips which lock on and have no chance of moving during aggressive riding. The GA2 is a classic Ergon product which simply works. I have never had any issues with it – it’s a loyal friend.

The HM2 gloves are also a highlight! Having a direct feeling on the handlebar without any thick pads is almost mandatory for me. I love the thin slip-resistant surface.
