Episode 23: Talking tuning with Steve Mathews of VORSPRUNG Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, I was lucky enough to sit down with one of the biggest influences on modern-day suspension, Steve Mathews.

We chat about getting into riding, making his way as an engineer, and identifying a niche in the Canadian market. The chat also ends with a heavy tech focus where Steve shares his ideas on market trends. It was a pleasure to sit down with a super-intelligent man with a huge passion for our sport.

As always huge thanks to NSDynamics for their support. They have absolutely killed it with the service they have provided me and if you want your suspension to work better than new hit up Aaron and the crew A.S.A.P. Also huge shout out to Craftworks Cycles for continually supporting this venture. Use BTT10 to get 10% of a bike of your choice.
