Things are going well for Jonas Folger. As he makes his debut in the Superbike World Championship, German is the language of choice. The Bavarian rider is racing on a German BMW with Bonovo Action in a German team. Now he’s adding a new racing suit to the mix: from iXS, the IDM pool partner from Switzerland.
Everything is new for Jonas Folger. A few days ago, he got his first taste of the precursor to his future race bike in Almería, taking the BMW S 1000 RR out for a spin. The M 1000 RR will make its debut in March. By then at the latest, the current IDM Superbike 1000 champion will be protected by gear from his new partner, iXS.
Many shared values form the solid foundation for a long-standing partnership. hostettler ag and its Swiss brand iXS have deep roots in German-speaking countries. In addition, hostettler ag operates its international logistics center in Müllheim/Baden, southern Germany. From there, customers are supplied with motorcycle apparel and accessories. What does the brand particularly value in Jonas Folger? Aside from his great talent, his tremendous dedication to training, his unbridled determination, and his unconditional devotion to motorcycle racing. With his determined nature, Jonas is an extremely authentic ambassador for iXS, according to the company headquarters.
Among others, Jonas Folger will be joined in the iXS Family by: Isaac Viñales (WorldSBK), Randy Krummenacher, Dominique Aegerter, Philipp Öttl, Steven Odendaal (all WorldSSP), Tom Lüthi (Moto2), YART riders Marvin Fritz, Niccolò Canepa, and Karel Hanika, and Isle of Man and Macau GP pro Horst Saiger.
During his inaugural visit to the headquarters of iXS and hostettler ag in Sursee (Switzerland), Jonas Folger expressed his enthusiasm for the new partnership: “I’m heading into my Superbike World Championship rookie season with high expectations and aim to consistently finish in the top 10. But for that to happen, everything has to come together perfectly. The personalized support from iXS allows me to tailor my racing suit perfectly to myself, my riding style, and the bike.”
