Andreas
Hestler

"Dre"

DISCIPLINE

Cross Country | XC

HOMETOWN

Victoria, BC

WITH US SINCE

2000

A true ambassador for the sport, a pioneer, a fierce competitor and an all around cyclist

Andreas "Dre" Hestler found his passion for mountain biking in 1986. After moving to Vancouver and embracing the life of a courier, he was introduced to racing and a new love was born. The next 20 years were a complete career: 13 years on the World Cup Circuit, World Championship and the Olympics, the lifestyle of a devoted athlete, but one who enjoyed the process and was aware of the other aspects of life.

Taking Canada and Rocky Mountain Bicycles to the Olympic debut of Mountain Biking in Atlanta (1996) ranks as one of Dre's most significant achievements, as will representing Canada as the National Champion and National Series winner 5 times. A true ambassador for the sport, a pioneer, a fierce competitor and an all around cyclist Dre enjoys all two wheeled adventures, having dipped his toes into bike-packing, and enduro, and with stage racing titles under his belt as well.

In recent years Dre has turned to writing, guiding, exploring, and promoting the breadth of terrain his home province is know for through events like BC Bike Race and BC Bike Ride, and of course they all happen on Rocky Mountain bikes.
