The Racers

Markus Saegesser

Even in his early years he was gripped by a fascination for engines and speed, which remains with him to this day. As co-founder of his own racing team (special cross, Monoposto over 3,000cc), he competed in national and international car races (Swiss, Tyrolean, German and European Championships) in the 1980s.

Yet his greatest hobby is and still remains riding motorcycles (over half a million kilometres in the saddle). He has also taken part in national dragster races as a driver. For almost 20 years he has been actively involved in the biker and Harley scene.

Ruedi Steck

He has well-founded know-how at his fingertips and has made a name for himself as a customiser of motorcycles not just in Switzerland but also abroad, having won many prizes. He has fitted more Harley engines with turbochargers than anyone else in the world! He exclusively brought the Feuling engine (3 cylinders, 2,500cc) to Europe.

As founder and organiser of Swiss Performance (the largest and most successful customising and tuning show in Europe), his expert knowledge is in great demand. He has also taken part in national and international dragster races as a driver.
