Riese & Müller customers are drawn to the company's legacy of quality, long service life, and the characteristic look, feel and performance of Riese & Müller bikes.

"Riese & Müller embodies the spirit of adventure. Their innovative product, history and brand image directly align perfectly with our agency strengths," said ECHOS founder and managing director, Rob Reedy.

As part of its expansion into North America, Riese & Müller has partnered with flagship dealers in key US and Canadian markets. The direct to dealer distribution will maintain clear and consistent communication that supports the dealers and builds community within each targeted market.

"When looking for the right partner in the US we knew that deep roots within the cycling and lifestyle cultures were critical. But we also understood the need to break through the noise with a team that offers more than traditional PR," said Riese & Muller Managing Director, Dr. Sandra Wolf.  "ECHOS brings a deep conviction for telling our brand story as well as experience developing the creative engagement opportunities that will allow our brand to become a category leader within the US. We are excited about our partnership with ECHOS."
