PR0TEKTION

With a long and illustrious history that goes back over 110 years, the various hostettler companies have come together to form the hostettler group.

Comprising 13 innovative and dynamic businesses operating within the bicycle, motorcycle and automotive trades, hostettler keeps the wheels turning.

Established 1979 in the center of Switzerland. iXS develops, produces and provides safety equipment for motorcyclists in form of leathers known in the late 70s and 80s. With the advance of technology, soon textiles, modern protectors and functional fabrics were introduced. Two decades later the brand diversified into the bicycle market with apparel and safety equipment for mountain bikers.

Everything we do is rooted in riding. From apparel to protection, we live a passion for the freedom of two wheels and the places we do it –pedal powered or engine powered. Our performance apparel, helmets and protection are real-world tested and designed for every ride and everyone.

We identify ourselves with the outdoors, a love to travel. We‘re adventurous, shred singletracks, loose gravel, and we compete on tarmac and gnarly dirt around the world. We love competitive sports and have a passion for racing and its community that goes back more than 100 years.
