nolte rides like he skis — fast, fluid, and always toward the next peak.

Born and raised in Austria but now rooted in Silicon Valley, he found his way into motorcycling in the early 2000s, spurred on by fxstein and a shared hunger for big horizons. He didn’t start small — his first rides were out to the Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce, where the road stretches wide and the scenery never stops demanding your attention.

What began on a Yamaha Warrior has evolved into time spent behind the bars of a KTM 890 — the perfect companion for linking California’s twisty mountain passes with the same precision he brings to a black diamond run. Come winter, you’ll find him chasing powder through Tahoe’s alpine bowls. Come spring, he’s back on two wheels, stringing together epic days from the Sierra to the Alps.

When he’s not carving lines into tarmac or snow, he’s rolling in his Mercedes Sprinter — a home on wheels and a basecamp for the next great ride.

Always stoked, always moving, always up for just one more pass — that’s nolte.
