igus® iglide® bearings X DVO Suspension US Bike Tour
Chris and Philip zipped straight to DVO Suspension in Santa Clarita, CA. DVO manufactures high-performance components for mountain bike suspensions and, naturally, uses igus® bushings in their premium rear shocks.
The guys met with the entire DVO team — from the engineering group all the way to marketing and finance. A few employees couldn’t resist taking the igus:bike for a spin, and they all came away genuinely impressed by the bike’s innovative design and industrial feel.
Chris Sandven has been with igus® nearly nine years as a Territory Sales Manager for Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. He started as the Bike Industry Specialist in 2024, and as an avid sports fan and outdoor enthusiast, the opportunity to join the igus:bike tour was too good for him to pass up.
Philip Pauli started with igus® in 2022 in International Sales for iglide® bearings, and by September of 2024 had become the bike industry manager at our headquarters in Germany. He loves the outdoors, whether it’s hiking, climbing, or mountain biking, and knew he couldn’t miss out on the igus:bike tour.
