They are lining up to become world champions. Kim Tofaute and Benny Brochhagen both took silver medals at the 24h world championships on two occasions. However, that's not enough for the duo because they want to be world champions and have the support of a bike that's built for champions, namely the Grand Canyon CF in a special team edition. The duo also feels at home on the Lux. When the routes get a bit rougher they reach for their full suspension bikes. They are supported by Trevor Allen, who is stirring up the 24h circuit in Great Britain, and Nadine Rieder, who looks set to be an upcoming star in long distance and XC events.

However, in 1998 he took up mountain biking and has been trying to consistently improve his form since then.
