Mithos Pilots
The “Mithos Pilots” are a team of five Swiss motorcyclists - just like you and me - who share a great passion. Their mission is to bring Mithos from the racetrack to the road. That’s why they all stand behind the brand, understand its values, and are absolute product experts. Each of them takes you along on their journey with Mithos. They’re happy to share their experiences and insights with you on social media.
We’ll briefly introduce each pilot, then you can decide for yourself whose journey with Mithos you want to follow.

LARISSA KOST
DATE OF BIRTH:

HAS BEEN RIDING A MOTORCYCLE SINCE:
March 2018
REASONS FOR RIDING:
I’ve always been really passionate about anything with an engine that can move.
Riding a motorcycle means freedom and adventure. Discovering new places while escaping the daily grind.
CURRENT MOTORCYCLE:
Kawasaki Z900
WHAT MATTERS TO ME:
There have been days when I rode my motorcycle to the first intersection and then turned back home. Why? Because I didn’t feel comfortable and had a bad gut feeling.
It’s important to me that I feel comfortable and safe when I ride my motorcycle.
WHY MITHOS:
Mithos has won me over with its unique quality.
The people at Mithos fully stand behind their brand.
For me, good protective gear is the top priority when riding a motorcycle, so that I feel safe. I’m convinced that Mithos can offer me exactly that, and I’ll never have to turn back at an intersection again because of a bad gut feeling.
MY MESSAGE:
Always ride in your gear!
It doesn’t matter if you’re just popping out to run errands or quickly washing your bike at the car wash next door. Accidents happen way too fast - and usually close to home. That’s why you should always wear protective gear, so your guardian angels can take a break every once in a while.

WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU WHEN RIDING:
The feeling of freedom and confidence in my own motorcycle as well as my own abilities.
WHY MITHOS:
After trying several motorcycle suits that didn’t fit properly, I was finally able to find a product that fits with Mithos. I really appreciate the direct and personal contact with Bruno, without any unnecessary fuss.
YOUR MESSAGE TO THE COMMUNITY ON THE TOPIC OF SAFETY:
We only have one body and one skin, and these cannot simply be replaced. That is why the right protective gear is important.
SELINA SCHÄR
DATE OF BIRTH:
October 15, 1996
HAS BEEN RIDING MOTORCYCLES SINCE:
2017
WHY YOU STARTED RIDING MOTORCYCLES:
My father had been a motorcyclist since his youth, but gave up the passion due to an accident. Although he no longer pursued the hobby, he had many stories to tell, so the enthusiasm quickly rubbed off on my brothers and me. I rode as a passenger with my older brother for two years before taking over his KTM Duke 390. From then on, I couldn’t imagine life without motorcycling.
CURRENT MOTORCYCLE:
Suzuki GSX-R 600 K6
WHAT MATTERS TO YOU WHEN MOTORCYCLING:
I love the thrill and the pursuit of the perfect riding style. For me, it’s a challenge I set for myself every single time. With every ride, I try to become safer and ride an even more perfect line.
WHY MITHOS:
With its extremely high quality standards, Mithos offers me the protection I want on the road - even with a cautious riding style, crashes can happen. Plus, the design and fit convince me 100 percent.
YOUR MESSAGE TO THE COMMUNITY ON SAFETY:
Even if you consider yourselves safe riders - it’s not always in your control. Wear your protective gear and look for high quality and the perfect fit when you buy it. Investing in high-quality protective gear is possibly the best investment you can make in this sport.
