Founded in 2005, the Topeak-Ergon Racing Team is among the elite in cross-country and marathon sport. The first class squad includes three of the world's best mountain bikers with the reigning marathon world champion Alban Lakata, the two-times ladies world champion Irina Kalentieva as well as the three-times German champion Wolfram Kurschat. The close proximity of Topeak-Ergon to Canyon makes a decisive contribution to making the cooperation much easier and allows us to respond to the needs of the pros so that we can always provide them with the best possible equipment.
Irina Kalentieva
Irina is a true great in her sport. Although the Russian is a mere 156 cm tall, it's inner greatness that really counts. She works hard and always focuses on the goal ahead – and that's to be standing at the top of the podium. The world always looks nice from above.

Wolfram Kurschat
He is a perfectionist. This applies to his bike just as much as to his training. He gives everything in the races. "If you can keep on riding after you have reached the finish, then you have done something wrong." Wolfram's input is key for us. For example, how can we optimise the chassis even further?

Dave Wiens
For more than 20 years now Dave has been giving the trails a hard time. His opponents have no easy time of it because for the most part they have to battle their way through the dust that Dave's back wheel throws up. His victories at the Leadville Trail 100 show that he rides at a consistently high level. Dave was even able to overcome former pro Lance Armstrong in the race which he considers to be "his event".

Jeff Kerkove
In the USA he's a true great in 24-hour events. Jeff Kerkove loves the mix of demanding circuits with rocks, roots, rapid changes in speed and the constant stress of a 24-hour event. After the day is over he harvests the fruits of his labour and takes his place on the top of the podium.

Sonya Looney
