From the minute Maats opened its doors in Rotterdam, Man Met Brill koffie supports us with its outstanding, and arguably the finest coffee on the market. Home to the city of Rotterdam, Man Met Bril Koffie is a renowned specialty coffee roastery with a café and since February: a hotel! (fun fact: it is the first coffee focused hotel in the world). 

Over the years, the brand has become a favorite among coffee lovers in the region, not only for its excellent brews but also for its stylish, industrial-style café and its community-oriented philosophy. A philosophy Maats fully supports, which is why we want to combine our communities with a nice and easy bike ride and lunch afterwards! 

At the start of each new season, Man Met Bril and Maats are hosting a bike ride to ride into the new season with our communities. We start at Maats Rotterdam for an almost perfectly brewed Man Met Bril coffee and end the ride at the brand new hotel of Man Met Bril for a special lunch with an even better coffee, this time from trained baristas ;-). 

On Sunday 22 June, you're invited for our first seasonal ride: Summer vibes! 

• Start location: Maats Rotterdam, Hoogstraat 56A 
• Gathering: 09:00
• Roll out: 09:30
• Distance: 70-80 km
• Finish location: Man Met Bril hotel, Linker Rottekade 12

The Maurten GEL 100 CAF 100 contains 100 mg of caffeine – that’s the equivalent of 1,5 espressos – or one cup of brewed coffee. That’s a lot compared to many of the traditional gels out there. It delivers 25 grams of carbohydrates through a unique blend of fructose and glucose (ratio of 0.8:1). It packs a high weight to energy ratio and doesn’t contain any added flavours, preservatives or colourants. Just like all of Maurten's products, it’s vegan-friendly.

Use the GEL 100 CAF 100 on its own during shorter durations, or combine it with other Maurten products to ensure you have enough carbohydrates throughout your session.

Starting Point: Amsterdam, Utrecht or Zwolle

Maats and Pas Normal Studios would like to invite you to complete the Midsummer Challenge on the longest day of the year: Friday June 21st. We are challenging everyone to ride 200km+ in one go - come join us for a long epic day in the saddle.

The concept is simple: we will take full advantage of the longest day of the year and ride a longer route of no less than 235km. You can choose to start either from our store in Amsterdam, Utrecht or from Ride Fast Bikeshop (our newest shop-in-shop location near Zwolle).

We are organizing the event in cooperation with our premium brand Pas Normal Studios. Brand ambassador Rik de Voogd will join us on the ride from Amsterdam.

All groups ride the same route and have at least two stops. The group that departs from Maats Utrecht, stops in Zwolle and Amsterdam and finishes again in Utrecht. Riders from Amsterdam first go to Utrecht, then Zwolle. During the instore breaks we'll provide food, snacks and drinks. Upon your return, cold beers will be waiting at the finish line.

The P ZERO™ SmarTUBE EVO is Pirelli’s latest innovation in the world of tubes, as we strive to improve performance in modern cycling. They are the result of our development for World Tour tubulars, now made available for everyday rides with clinchers. Made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), it can save up to 70% of the weight of ordinary butyl tubing and nearly 50% of pocket space, while being stronger than butyl as a raw material. P ZERO™ SmarTUBE EVO rolls 5% faster than the standard SmarTUBE, making your bike quicker to accelerate and climb hills, while also improving handling. P ZERO™ SmarTUBE EVO comes with a Presta valve, available in a full range of valve heights to fit every rim.

Details
The weight of P ZERO™ SmarTUBE EVO is up to 70% less than a standard butyl tube and also more resistant.
Thanks to a 5% improvement in rolling, the P ZERO™ SmarTUBE EVO makes your bike faster and easier to handle both on the steepest climbs and during accelleration.

Compactness
The volume of the P ZERO™ SmarTUBE EVO is almost 50% of the space in your pockets, while being stronger than butyl as a raw material.
