“Our goal has always been to develop equipment that can help athletes, whether they are professionals or amateurs, to push their limits without having to think about anything other than focusing on their goals – and this is a promise that the classification leaders can also count on.”
Q36.5 is rooted equally in Italy and Switzerland. Swiss co-founder Sabrina Emmasi Bergamo had been a professional cyclist racing the biggest events in the world and representing her country on the Swiss national team before helping to found Q36.5 with her Italian husband Luigi Bergamo.
The partnership
“The partnership with the Tour de Suisse is an excellent opportunity for Q36.5. It will help us to promote the brand to a wider audience, but even more importantly it reinforces our connection with Switzerland, especially since we opened our first flagship store at Bärengasse 10 in Zurich last December.
The choice was not accidental or simply tied to the roots of the Bergamo-Emmasi family. In fact, precision, quality, minimalist design, and attention to detail are values that represent Switzerland to the world, and are the same values that guide our daily work and corporate philosophy.”
