At only 17 years old, Ike is recognised for showing a maturity and a technique on the bike, which is very uncommon for his age. Although he\u2019s focused on DH, he also rides Enduro, Freeride and jump lines.<\/p>\n<p>He has been racing his whole life, whether it\u2019s bikes, go-karts or motocross, he\u2019s a racer at heart. He won the South African national DH Championship, achieved two podium finishes in the cadet category in the French DH Cup in 2020 and took part in the Crankworx AirDH in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Ike, who has the Darkfest line in his backyard, became the youngest person to ride a fest series. What a great opportunity at his young age. If he continues this path, he will soon be the next Theo Erlangsen in the DH World Cup. We will have to keep a close eye on him!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m super-hyped about the new deal with Commencal, as we\u2019re also putting a local team around it. This puts me in an excellent position for the upcoming races this year,\u201d said the Monster Energy rider Klaassen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking with Commencal gives me so much confidence as well. I\u2019ll be a part of the team that works together at the World Cup races, so I\u2019ll have that level of support. In the freeride world they also have a big team there, so there is also strong support. Basically, I will be racing the World Cup season with Commencal, and I\u2019ll be doing some freeride events and just try my best to have a good year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98265\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98265\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/?attachment_id=98265\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-98265 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/stellenbosch-mtb-rider-ike-klaassen-joins-commencal-for-the-2021-season.jpg\" alt width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/stellenbosch-mtb-rider-ike-klaassen-joins-commencal-for-the-2021-season.jpg 1000w, http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/stellenbosch-mtb-rider-ike-klaassen-joins-commencal-for-the-2021-season-1.jpg 625w, http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/stellenbosch-mtb-rider-ike-klaassen-joins-commencal-for-the-2021-season-2.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/stellenbosch-mtb-rider-ike-klaassen-joins-commencal-for-the-2021-season-3.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/stellenbosch-mtb-rider-ike-klaassen-joins-commencal-for-the-2021-season-4.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98265\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ike Klaassen in Action.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Video:<\/strong> Stellenbosch MTB Rider Ike Klaassen Joins Commencal for the 2021 Season<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ike Klaassen Joins COMMENCAL South African Team\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HvX1I39OP2s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>More Info on Stellenbosch MTB Rider Ike Klaassen Joins Commencal for the 2021 Season here:<\/strong><br \/><strong>Twitter<\/strong>:<br \/><strong>Facebook<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/save-with-myprs-monthly-flat-fee\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\" aria-current=\"page\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/stellenbosch-mtb-rider-ike-klaassen-joins-commencal-for-the-2021-season\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stellenbosch MTB Rider Ike Klaassen Joins Commencal for the 2021 Season In exciting news, young MTB sensation Ike Klaassen from Stellenbosch has joined Commencal South Africa for the 2021 season.
