With a press release published in the last days of April The team Santa Cruz Rockshox has made it official that for the entire 2023 season the products will be Sprayke to take care of the team's mountain bikes (photo Alessio Pederiva).
On the one hand we have one of the top teams in the world in the off-road sector, on the other hand we find a young but extremely ambitious brand, completely dedicated to the maintenance and care of bicycles, be they road bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes and of course e-bikes.
Italian heart
The Santa Cruz Rockshox team showed up at the starting line of the 2023 season with a very small roster… and above all, a very Italian one. There are only four athletes in the organization chart and all of them are of Italian nationality, starting from Luke Braidot, coming off a truly impressive 2022 season. Last year, he won two World Cup races and placed third at the World Championships in Les Gets. Alongside him is Nadir Colledani, who as an under-23 achieved two World Championship victories and third place at the European Championships. The women's team also qualified with Italian champion Martina Berta and nineteen-year-old Sara Cortinovis, still under 23, but with an absolutely respectable youthful record.
A complete catalogue
As mentioned, starting this year, Sprayke products will be taking care of Braidot and his teammates' Santa Cruz bikes. The brand was created just a few years ago by Siliconi Commerciale Spa, a Vicenza-based company currently a leader in the production of technical sprays.
The Sprayke catalog is truly extensive and consists of specific products for cleaning, lubricating and protecting bicycles. All products are eco-friendly, demonstrating our attention to the environment. which has always guided the Vicenza-based company in the creation of its products.
Research has always been one of the strengths of Siliconi Commerciale Spa, which relies on the tireless work of its technicians in its Research and Development laboratories, committed to the creation of new, eco-sustainable and cutting-edge products.
Sprayke Pride
Being a young brand, yet chosen by a world-class team like Santa Cruz Rockshox, is a source of great pride for Sprayke. Michele Cereda, the company's sales manager, confirms this.
«I am very happy to have reached an agreement for this very important collaboration (he stated, ed.). I have been following the results of the brilliant athletes of the Santa Cruz team for some time now.They are the best we have on the Italian and, above all, world scene. For us, being part of the victories of such an important team is a source of pride. We will provide mechanics with all our technical assistance combined with the entire range of Sprayke products inherent to cleaning and MTB maintenance. We will also have direct contact with the athletes to obtain useful data for improving our entire range."
For Sprayke, being the technical partner of a well-structured and important team like Santa Cruz Rockshox is certainly a unique and evocative experience. The know-how acquired in recent years will now be put to the test on MTB trails around the world..
