Dreams
Come True for Carlo Dieckmann |
BETHEL, CT USA - At a mere 20 years of age, Carlo Dieckmann has earned the
respect of his peers.
He started riding trials at shows in Germany and his first bike was a red, team
model Killer V from Cannondale.
“I still have that bike,” says Carlo. I remember watchin' former
Cannondale Athletes like Rockwell, Lopes, Martin Ashton.” When asked where
he gets his influence from, Carlo says he loves skateboarding and watching NBA
Basketball. “Both of these sports have so much style to draw inspiration
from. It’s fun to take that creative energy to riding.”
Carlo recently brought the house (our perhaps we should say castle) to its knees, throwing down one of the best runs at the Red Bull District Ride in Nuremburg. “He came away with a 5th place result, not quite the podium—but the show he put-on certainly got our attention,” says Rory Mason, Global Sports Marketing Manager at Cannondale.
Carlo Dieckmann checks his new ride.
Carlo will team up with fellow Cannondale rider Aaron Chase and will be riding the Cannondale Prophet and Chase, tuned to his specifications. The Prophet boasts 140mm of balanced travel and a welded hollow-core pivot that boosts rear-end stiffness for flex-free performance. The Chase’s CNC machined, 6061-TX aluminum “bomb-proof” construction will keep Carlo fully-clicked from the first pedal stroke. “I just got my new custom Chase bike from Cannondale with my own special paint. I’ve already been able to do some things on it that I haven’t been able to do before!”
“Signing with Cannondale is like a dream come true for me,” says Carlo. “It’s amazing to have such a strong and innovative sponsor behind me. The Chase is proof that they really listen to their riders.”
We’re happy to say that Carlo has made “the cut.”
