From September 10th-15th 2024 Sölden hosted the Swatch Nines event with 40 invited riders for the first time. Alongside Swatch, Sölden and Rose Bikes, Alpina was one of the main partners of the event. From slopestyle stars to freeride legends and hungry talents: The participants put on a week of high spirits and impressive action on a progressive set-up. From the A-Team Lukas Knopf (Youtube star and German MTB pro for more than 12 years) and Tobey Miley (at 21 the rising star in slopestyle & freeride MTB sports in GER) took part... and also the two young talents Linus Haussuehl and Marlon Katzke performed their runs with our brand new PIKES MIPS full-face helmet. As a partner of the event, we designed a limited edition of the Sonic HR sportsglasses with the ‘Nines’ logo lasered on the lense. The entire Swatch Nines crew, members of the press, selected athletes and partners were delighted to receive them. The limited edition was also sold in a very limited numbers to end consumers in Sölden. The special thing about the Nines: there are no judges and therefore no competitive pressure. The whole week is designed for the riders to push each other and redefine their limits. For example, A-Team rider Tobey Miley performed a double backflip with a heavy big bike / slopestyle bike for the first time. Big thanks to the DISTILLERY agency crew for a perfect organized event week and for building this incredible course.
