Things are going well for Jonas Folger. German is spoken at his entry into the Superbike World Championship. The Bavarian rides a BMW on a German motorcycle with Bonovo Action in a German team. Now he has a new racing suit: from iXS, the IDM pool partner from Switzerland.
Everything is new for Jonas Folger. A few days ago, he got to know the predecessor of his future work tool for the first time in Almeria and took the BMW S 1000 RR for a spin. The premiere on the M 1000 RR will follow in March. By then at the latest, the body of the current IDM Superbike 1000 champion will be protected by the leather of his new partner iXS.
Many similarities form a solid basis for a long-standing partnership. hostettler ag and its Swiss brand iXS have strong roots in German-speaking countries. hostettler ag also operates its international logistics center in Müllheim/Baden in southern Germany. From there, customers are supplied with motorcycle clothing and accessories. What does the brand particularly appreciate about Jonas Folger? Apart from his great talent, his enormous diligence in training, his unbridled commitment, and his unconditional dedication to motorcycle racing. With his determined nature, Jonas is an extremely authentic ambassador for iXS, according to the headquarters.
In the iXS family, Jonas Folger will meet 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, among others.
During his inaugural visit to the headquarters of iXS and hostettler ag in Sursee (Switzerland), Jonas Folger expressed his delight at the new partnership: "I have high expectations for my rookie season in the Superbike World Championship and want to consistently finish in the top 10. But to do that, everything has to fit together perfectly. The individual support from iXS allows me to tailor my racing suit perfectly to myself, my riding style, and the machine."
