Triathlete Anna Hofstetter with Vélobsessive

Vélobsessive Welcomes Triathlete Anna Hofstetter as New Brand Ambassador

Munich-based triathlete Anna Hofstetter joins Vélobsessive as brand ambassador, racing the Purple Air with a clear goal: qualify for the Ironman World Championship.

The performance cycling brand Vélobsessive is expanding its athlete team and welcomes Anna Hofstetter, a promising triathlete from Munich, as a new brand ambassador. The ambitious athlete has set a clear goal: to qualify for the Ironman World Championship in the coming years and to compete in the German Bundesliga — a journey that will now be supported by Vélobsessive.

Hofstetter specializes in long-distance triathlon and is considered one of the rising athletes in this demanding segment. A particular highlight of the season will be her start at the Ironman in Thun, where she will compete on her new Vélobsessive race bike.

As part of the partnership, Vélobsessive will provide Hofstetter with the Purple Air triathlon bike — specifically designed for aerodynamic efficiency and maximum speed on the bike course.

"The Purple Air is an incredibly fast bike. For me, it's a great opportunity to have a partner like Vélobsessive by my side who supports my sporting ambitions. What means a lot to me is knowing that my bike is perfectly tailored to me 1:1, so I don't have to make any compromises."

— Anna Hofstetter

With this new partnership, Vélobsessive underscores its commitment to triathlon and continues to focus on supporting talented athletes in the performance-oriented development sector.

The upcoming season marks an important step in Anna Hofstetter's development as a triathlete. With a clear focus on international long-distance racing and the long-term goal of the world championship, she will race the Vélobsessive Purple Air — among other events at the Ironman in Thun.
