His audience is highly engaged with an average engagement rate of approximately 4%, significantly above industry average.

Mountain biking is one of the fastest-growing sports markets in the world. The global mountain bike market was valued at approximately 9.8 to 13 billion USD in 2024 and is projected to nearly double by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8–12% annually. Approximately 30 million mountain bikes are sold worldwide every year. The sport has a broad and diverse audience — from competitive racers to recreational riders, from teenagers to adults over 50, with e-mountain bikes rapidly expanding the demographic to include older and less athletic riders. In Europe, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland are among the top mountain biking nations, with millions of active riders, a dense trail network, and strong consumer spending on equipment, apparel, and accessories.
Mountain biking is not a niche sport. It is a mainstream outdoor lifestyle. It sits at the intersection of fitness, adventure, sustainability, and community — making it one of the most brand-friendly sports categories available. Unlike traditional team sports, mountain biking athletes have direct, personal relationships with their audiences built on trust, authenticity, and shared passion. This makes influencer partnerships in the MTB space exceptionally effective for brands.
David Zimmermann is not only a mountain bike athlete. He is a multi-platform content creator and entrepreneur. As Pro Coach at SENDERS Academy and Brand Manager at CLANO Apparel, he bridges the worlds of professional sport, coaching, community building, and brand marketing. This makes him uniquely valuable compared to pure athletes or pure influencers.
For marketing managers, campaign managers, brand managers, sponsorship directors, and partnership leads at outdoor brands, sports brands, lifestyle brands, action sports brands, cycling brands, and consumer goods companies: David Zimmermann is one of the most cost-effective and authentic brand partnership opportunities in the DACH action sports market in 2025 and 2026. He offers measurable reach, authentic content, and access to one of the most commercially attractive sports audiences in Europe.
He has appeared at and competed in the world's biggest MTB media events including Swatch Nines. He is known for his signature tricks — the Superman Seatgrab and the Barhop (an MX-derived trick mastered by only a handful of athletes globally). He runs his own viral video series "DAYDREAMING" and hosts his own Big Air event at Bikepark Brandnertal in Vorarlberg, Austria.
