Wa, wa, what’s happening at the moment? One amazing event after another! After EUROBIKE in Frankfurt, we were up close again for you with a fun setup – and took a completely new approach!
Ever had an original Porsche 959 Dakar from the museum mess up your Persian rug? We hadn’t either. At least until last weekend. And then it happened…
If you know us, you know that we like to take new paths. And do exactly what we feel like – by the way, that’s the motto of our sister magazine DOWNTOWN. Honestly, what’s better than bikes, roof tents, espresso machines, and classic cars? Well, all that together mixed up with a bunch of cool people and some good vibes and sounds.
1,500 enthusiasts and around 600 fine classic cars came to this year’s HEIZR Club Dusty Rides Festival. We went all in and had our own booth. Our goal at the HEIZR Dusty Rides Festival was clear: target new audiences, inspire them for biking and excite them about our magazines, and of course celebrate our DOWNTOWN lifestyle.
And what can we say? We were blown away by the rush and interest of the visitors, including many bike enthusiasts and many readers. And those who weren’t interested in bikes were then fascinated by the roof tents or the La Marzocco, which we are currently testing. If you want to check it out directly: Our roof tent comparison test with 12 ½ roof tents is online – check it out! However, we recommend you keep reading – Pablo Escobär, the German enduro celebrities, and fast bikes on even faster cars should not be missed.
So, enough words, now we’ll let the pictures do the talking – enjoy!
A cheers to HEIZR club founder Felix as well as the other exhibitors Porsche, BMW Classic, Recaro, Yeti/Tofino Store, Big Green Egg, Homecation, and La Marzocco.
