WITH FLOW AND FOCUS:
THE ROTWILD SCHWALBE GRAVITY TEAM 2025
Growing from strong roots, evolving with purpose. For years now, the Gravity Team has been a constant on the German enduro scene – not loud, but passionate, consistent and with a clear vision. Built organically, shaped from within. Milestones like Torben Drach’s German Championship title in 2023 and solid placements in the Enduro World Cup speak for themselves.
2024 marked the next big chapter: With ROTWILD and Schwalbe on board, the team officially entered the world of pro racing – with heart, ambition and a whole lot of trail spirit. Numerous Top 10 results, stage podiums, and a close-knit team dynamic made one thing clear: this project has depth.
At Maloja, we're stoked to be part of the ride: As the team’s official apparel partner, we deliver high-performance racewear built for speed, focus and flow on the trail. Off the track, we keep the crew dialed with versatile, clean styles that work – whether it’s race weekend, travel days or downtime. Because great gear doesn’t stop at the finish line.
Looking ahead to 2025, motivation is high, goals are set, and excitement is growing – with the E-Enduro World Championship in Fiesch (Switzerland) as a true season highlight.
Meet the Team
At the core of the ROTWILD Schwalbe Gravity Team are Torben, Kelan and Helen on the bikes, and David and Lukas running the show behind the scenes. Together, they’ll be competing in the EDR Enduro World Cup and selected European e-bike races in 2025.
Torben Drach
Determined, experienced and deeply connected to the sport.
Torben is one of the team’s founders – and a core rider since day one. A former member of the German national cross-country squad, he rediscovered his love for racing through enduro. Together with David, he built up the Gravity Team – and keeps delivering strong performances both nationally and internationally.
Helen Weber
Fast, focused and full of talent. Helen started in cross-country and switched to enduro in 2021 – and immediately made waves: podium at La Thuile in the U21 category, consistent results throughout the E-Enduro World Cup 2024, and her personal highlight: a stage win in Loudenvielle. Since 2022, she’s been a core part of the team – and is simply indispensable.
Kelan Grant
All heart, with Irish fire. Born in Omagh, Northern Ireland, Kelan first gained international attention by winning the Red Bull Foxhunt in 2017. He joined the Chain Reaction Cycles / Mavic Team shortly after and built his EWS career from there. In 2024, he became part of the ROTWILD Schwalbe Gravity Team, bringing skill, experience and drive to the lineup.
Lukas Spießl
The organizer with trail roots. Lukas grew up in the Bavarian Forest and transitioned from winter sports to enduro in 2018. As a trained sports manager with deep MTB experience, he not only keeps things running behind the scenes – but also helps shape the team’s long-term vision. Together with David, he builds the structure that lets the riders shine.
David Horvath
Mentor, manager, motivator. David is a mountain biker at heart. He once raced for the German XC national team before suffering a life-changing crash in his first Downhill World Cup race in 2019. Since then, he has embraced adaptive mountain biking – and shows, with every ride, what’s possible. Co-founder of the team, now a mentor and inspiring force behind it all.
2025: MORE THAN RACING
The ROTWILD Schwalbe Gravity Team isn’t just about racing. It’s about community, growth, resilience and the joy of riding together.
And we’re excited to be part of that – with technical gear on the trails and cool styles off the bike. Just the way we like it.
