WHAT'S BEHIND THE SCHWALBE SOUPLESSE CLUB BY PAUL RIPKE
Schwalbe and Paul Ripke have joined forces to inspire you to ride a new kind of road bike ride. The Schwalbe Souplesse Club is a great community of like-minded people who support, motivate and challenge each other. What counts most is your passion for road cycling - no matter how fast and how far you ride, or however high you want to go.
Let yourself be carried away by the positive energy of our community. What are you waiting for? Join our Schwalbe Souplesse Club and let's reach new heights together.
SCHWALBE SOUPLESSE CLUB TEAM
The idea of the Schwalbe Souplesse Club was born many years ago out of our great passion for road cycling. Since then, a real team has been formed, bonded together by numerous joint rides and exciting challenges. Our Schwalbe Souplesse Club ambassadors embody the idea of the community through and through.

ANNA
Cycling helps me to clear my head and feels better than jogging. For me, happiness is when I ride up a pass for 2.5 hours, then the gradient eases and I can shift through the gears. The Schwalbe Souplesse Club allows me to enjoy road cycling without the pressure.
CATHARINA
Through the Schwalbe Souplesse Club, I have met incredibly great people and created memories and experiences together with them. That's what makes cycling so special for me - the opportunity to challenge myself and go beyond my limits. Thank you Schwalbe for your support on all our cycling adventures!
FLO
You see more than when running and experience everything differently than when driving, you get to know people you wouldn't otherwise have met.
GARETH
What I particularly appreciate about the Schwalbe Souplesse Club is the opportunity to respond flexibly to each other and work together as a team. For me personally, happiness means having the freedom to enjoy life to the full.
JENNY
In the Schwalbe Souplesse Club, we don't take ourselves too seriously and the fun definitely comes before the performance. I think it's great to come into contact with so many different characters - otherwise you often stay in your own bubble. Cycling "takes me places", whether it's in everyday life, for work or on a bikepacking trip.
JULIAN
During the week, the bike is a means of transportation for me, but at the weekend it helps me to clear my head. What I like about the Schwalbe Souplesse Club is that we arrive at the finish line together and that the strengths and weaknesses of each individual are taken into account. For me, happiness means freedom, light-heartedness and having fun in life.
MARCUS
There are people in our team that I probably wouldn't have met without the Schwalbe Souplesse Club. I have rarely seen such different characters of all ages grow together so closely and quickly as a team. That's exactly what makes the Schwalbe Souplesse Club so special! And being allowed to ride the best tires in the world isn't entirely wrong either ;-) Even if it sounds a bit trite, cycling makes me feel free. Just get on the bike and off you go - sometimes with a plan, sometimes without. And being out in nature all the time - what could be better?
STEFAN
Cycling is the perfect way to switch off and escape from everyday life. The special thing about the Schwalbe Souplesse Club is the great people. We have grown into a strong team, even though we didn't know each other at the beginning.
THOMAS
The Schwalbe Souplesse Club has brought me back to cycling. I really enjoy being on the road with like-minded people.
RAFAEL
In the Schwalbe Souplesse Club, we all bring our different life stories with us and have come together through cycling. We simply enjoy having a good time together, even off the bike. For me, biking means having an anchor when I don't know where to go - I find my way on the bike.

SMOOTH HANDLING MEETS THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY
"Let's be honest: I'm not a high-end road bike rider at all. I always thought that it didn't matter which tire I rode until Schwalbe sent me one of their tubeless tires. First impression: Huh? No inner tube? I'd never heard of that before. I fitted it straight away and tested it. The riding experience is awesome. I honestly didn't expect such a difference." by Paul Ripke
