American eyewear company Oakley is the new official partner of Vätternrundan, the world’s largest recreational bike ride.
”Oakley fits the profile of the race perfectly and the agreement gives us an even stronger mix of partners”, says Marketing Manager of Vätternrundan Ulrika Smith Svenstedt.
Vätternrundan and Oakley have signed a one-year agreement of partnership, with a mutual intention that the collaboration should stretch over at least the next three years. The agreement makes Oakley the official eyewear brand of Vätternrundan 2017.
“Oakley is one of the leading brands in sports eyewear and a perfect partner for Vätternrundan” says Ulrika Smith Svenstedt. “As the largest recreational bike ride in the world, our aim is to team up with world leading quality partners.”
“Oakley also offers a wide range of products for all kinds of riders. In the same way that Vätternrundan is a race for everybody, from the fast riding sub group cyclists to the everyday recreational rider”.
As part of the partnership, Oakley, a sports brand built on a foundation of innovation and performance, will showcase the brand’s products and technologies during the event. The partnership will be activated through different touch points on-site, including Prizm lens testing, a retail experience and eyewear demos on the Rolling O Lab & O Tank.
“For Oakley, to become a partner of Vatternrundan is a natural fit, as it’s foundations lay within the Cycling world, and with our Prizm technology, we are bringing the whole game to a new level” says William Galimberti – EMEA Events and Sports Marketing Manager.
