Etape Suisse, billed as ‘the world’s most luxurious sportive’, has teamed up with Cyclefit and BMC to enable guests to have a BMC bike optimally set up for their arrival in Davos Klosters, Switzerland, during the event on 5-8 September.
Cyclefit notes that it was Europe’s first centre dedicated to bike fitting, cycling biomechanics and analysis. For ten years, Cyclefit has been servicing the needs of a wide spectrum of cycling enthusiasts; ‘from weekend-warriors to World Champions’. Cyclefit is the official bike fitting partner of the Trek Factory Racing Team, setting up Fabian Cancellara’s bikes including the one used in his 2014 Tour of Flanders win.
James Hewitt, Sports Scientist and Business Developer at Cyclefit said “We’re delighted to be working with Etape Suisse to offer our service to its participants. Following a thorough physical assessment, we determine a guest’s optimum riding position, component selection and adjustment, including shoe, cleat set-up and even full custom footbeds.
“Having tested a BMC bike over the Albula and Fluela Passes in Switzerland, guests can then deduct the £250 cost of the bike fitting from the purchase of one of our bikes, making this the ultimate try-before-you-buy offer.”
Robert Simpson, co-founder of Etape Suisse said “We’re offering unbeatable luxury and service to our guests and there’s nothing more luxurious than arriving on holiday in a world-class resort and then riding a bike that’s set up perfectly to your needs on blissfully smooth, traffic free roads amidst alpine beauty.
“It means our participants can enjoy the convenience of travelling without their bikes, and try one of the best bike brands on the market.”
Etape Suisse offers ‘an unrivalled weekend of sportive cycling, socialising and luxury’ in Davos Klosters, in the idyllic Swiss Alps during 5-8 September 2014.
The weekend is designed for both cyclists and their non-cycling companions and has an array of activities and entertainment for both. As well as BMC bikes on offer, BMC’s sister brand Stromer is providing guests with its famous ride-assist e-bikes, meaning guests of all cycling abilities can enjoy sportive cycling in Switzerland.
Prices excluding flights start from £1400 per rider, £1250 per non-rider.
