Thanks to the light, snappy and torque-rich bikes, the format that has been developed will be exciting and intense both for the riders as well as for the public and the media, ”says Stefan Ytterborn, founder and CEO of CAKE.
In addition to involving some of the best athletes in the world, it is truly gratifying to have Fox Racing as a partner, joining CAKE, on this journey into the future.
