Science meets passion

Kim Tofaute encorporates the ERGON credo „theory meets practice“ like no other. With a diploma in sports science he brings the latest insights in physiology and bio-mechanics to the ERGON product-managers and development teams. Together they keep working on every detail until the ergonomically perfect grip or backpack has been found.

Due to his years of experience as a national mountainbiker, he knows what riders are looking for in a fully thought out bike. Having won the Duisburg 24h race twice, he has felt numb fingers himself. Thus he has learned the hard way that the right gear does not only save you strenght and endurance, but helps you win the crucial seconds for victory.
