Joris Claessens (Co-founder/owner):

“Before I started with Pilot Cycles, I owned a sports bike shop. There, through intensive contact with my customers,
I learned that there is a huge demand for high-end bikes that can be customized to the very last detail.”

Pieter van der Marel (Co-founder/owner):

“My professional roots are in engineering, design and marketing. Combined with my never ending urge to improve my ride, it was inevitable that I would sooner or later create my own bike brand.” 

Mathijs Lemmers (Sales- and Marketingmanager):

I am 36 years old and I live with my girlfriend and our 2 kids and dog in a small town near Eindhoven called Lierop.
Of course I am a cycling lover and I love to ride my PILOT PRIMUM (mountain bike XC) on my local trails in the national park the Strabrechtse heide.
After graduating as a sports marketeer I always wanted to be comercially active within the bicycle sector. So I am perfectly in place at Pilot Cycles!
