7mesh Ambassador

Svein Tuft

Intro: Former professional road rider turned adventurer, Svein needs no introduction for most. As one of Canadas most renowned cyclists, there’s no one quite like this Giro d’Italia stage winner, Tour de France stage winner, and thirteen-time Canadian national champion. Svein’s backcountry exploits beyond the peloton are legendary, as are his efforts in helping other riders achieve their goals. For these and many other reasons, we’re proud to call Svein a 7mesh ambassador.

I ride 7mesh because the whole crew behind the scenes know what it's like to ride in BC on a cold December day. They're also the nicest most positive.
