"The first time I tested Classified, I immediately experienced a WOW moment. Everything was so smooth and quick, it really takes you by surprise. And it looks so beautiful and clean on the bike. It just gives me a better feeling as a rider.” - Marcel Kittel
Investors such as Olympic and World Champion riders, Tom Boonen, Anna Van der Breggen, Andre Greipel and Marcel Kittel are joined by Rapha Chairman Nick Evans' Active partners. Existing investor Bridford Group continues to support Classified by participating in the round.
