Endorphins are those “happiness hormones” created by the human body in connection with sustainable endurance sports. They motivate us to perform extraordinarily – i. e. to achieve a top rank after an extremely exhausting finish. Since 2003, MERIDA has successfully been employing a special endorphin department: Our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM represents an outstanding combination of talent, tough training, excellent management and best possible equipment. Its success speaks for itself: After Olympic Gold and Silver in 2004, our top athletes so far have been scoring ten World and eleven European Championship titles as well as over 30 wins within the International UCI XC World Cup series! These are our best bikers – happily sharing their endorphins with all those supporting them enthusiastically during competition and beyond.
