FALKE South Africa has extended its mountain biking footprint in the Western Cape by teaming up with two prominent MTB events, the Fedhealth MTB Challenge and the<\/strong> Origin Of Trails two-day MTB Experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo date 2018 has been a big year for FALKE in the adventure sport arena,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director Stillwater Sports.\u00a0 \u201cEarlier this year FALKE teamed up with the Fedhealth XTERRA (Western Cape), the FNB Magalies Monster MTB Classic and the FNB Platinum Trail Run (North West Province).\u00a0 We are excited to further extend FALKE\u2019s involvement in the Western Cape by welcoming the brand to the 4th<\/sup> annual Fedhealth MTB Challenge and the 6th<\/sup> annual <\/strong>Origin Of Trails two-day MTB Experience.\u00a0 With the added advantage of having FALKE in their corner, mountain bikers can look forward to getting the most out of their MTB experience at both these events.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Keaton Quarmby, Group Marketing Executive FALKE, the Fedhealth MTB Challenge and the <\/strong>Origin Of Trails two-day MTB Experience are the perfect fit for the FALKE brand.\u00a0 \u201cBoth events will enable us to connect with our core MTB consumer,\u201d says Quarmby.\u00a0 \u201cWe have the perfect offering from our Advance Performance All-Terrain sock to our Everyday Sport collection of bike and trail running socks.\u00a0 As both events take place over the weekend, they don\u2019t only attract competitive athletes, but instead also cater for families and friends which results in a wonderful festival vibe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is really something for everybody over the weekend and that is what we like,\u201d continues Quarmby.\u00a0 \u201cFALKE has the perfect opportunity to reignite the FALKE brand in that we get to connect with the consumer (entrants and supporters) and build these relationships from the ground up.\u00a0 We are confident that this partnership will deliver on-point brand exposure.\u00a0 We look forward to showcasing our Spring Summer 2018 Sport Collection at both events and cannot wait to be part of the experience.\u201d
