No stranger to the scene: MORITZ BRÉE
On two wheels from an early age.
Moritz first saw the light of day in the form of a 60-watt light bulb in Tyrol, Austria, on February 1, 2004. At the tender age of one, he began to ride a balance bike. His uncle even had to make him platform shoes so that he could reach the ground.
At the proud age of three, he was given his first motorcycle, a Yamaha PW 50 with sidecar, as he was still unable to touch the ground. Shortly afterwards, he switched to an OSET electric trial bike. Every day he explored the surrounding mountains of Tyrol with his father. Nowadays, Moritz prefers to ride off-road on a hard enduro.
Together with his father Uli Brée, the founder of TRIDAYS - then the largest meeting for Triumph riders - now the Club of Newchurch, Moritz regularly attended many bike events and came into contact with various customizers for the first time. At the age of six, he took part in his first sprint race at Glemseck 101 on a Honda Monkey converted into a café racer.
Anyone who sees Moritz in action at MX events today will be aware of this:
This is pure talent at work on the throttle.
100% Body control in the saddle!
A full professional at 20
We are delighted that we were able to support Moritz in this project with help and advice, experience and components.
The conversion has hit the scene like a big colorful cake. Every detail has been lovingly defined. A lot of time was invested in the frame, chassis and wheelset.
The machine looks light and lively. Bright colors, transparent number plates, bench and rims harmonize - and: COLORS people!
No conversion to date has so precisely captured the attitude to life of today's twenty-year-old motor sports enthusiasts.
The pack in Biarritz is thrilled when Moritz boards the track.
The tracker also goes viral online. The scene giants Bike-bound, Bike-EXIF, LeftCo and also the Tracker and Scramble Feed report to their six-digit follower community.
Bull's eye, Moritz!

A real "Moritz Bree" SR500 Flat Tracker - Iconic
An SR500 - a classic - that has been transformed into a unique piece of design bears the signature of Moritz Brée.
Every aspect of the vehicle is purposefully modified to create a unique personality and charisma. THE MILE stands as a powerful emblem for this conversion. The metamorphosis from classic vintage car to individual one-off is documented on the way from the original concept to the final realization.
This story will be shared by Moritz and his team through digital media and narrative elements, with THE MILE acting as a symbol for the unique journey. This journey culminates in an exciting race in which the classic, now as THE MILE, proves its newfound identity.
