2 friends with the desire to enterprise and innovate in personalization
Sixten was born from a desire to develop personalized products in the world of sports.
It all began in January 2021, in the heart of the Landes region, in Hossegor.
Charles and Martin, two friends who became the founders of Sixten, realized that it was essential to integrate an ecological approach into the practice of motorsports, whether motocross, SSV, or jet-ski.
The origin of sixten
Initially called "Sixten Bikes," the brand was born from the world of motocross, before focusing on environmentally friendly mats suitable for all sports. Sixten Bikes then became Sixten Environmental !
Why the name Sixten Environmental ? Martin came up with the name. It sounded pretty good. And today, if you ask him, he'll tell you he still doesn't know why this name came to him and that it just came to him.
Charles, based in Hossegor, already ran a distribution company. Martin had been working for years in the customization world and had already launched several brands. Their partnership was a no-brainer: combining their expertise could help Sixten grow.
Together, they started from scratch, with the priority of creating a high-performance website and a unique customization module.
the product idea
It all started with a simple idea: to create a high-quality, useful, durable, and eco-friendly product. A motorcycle mat.
At the same time, the F.I.M. regulation was introduced in France, and demand for environmental mats began to grow. By observing the market, Charles and Martin noticed that riders dreamed of customizing their mats, but the options available were disappointing, made from fragile materials with low-quality printing that didn’t meet expectations. The Sixten adventure was just beginning.
The two childhood friends embarked on a real mission: to design an environmental mat that was durable, resistant, and stylish, entirely made in Europe. They quickly realized that motorcycles weren’t the only discipline concerned.
They began developing mats for other sports as well: SSV, jet-ski, karting… The first Sixten mats came to life in the Landes region during the first lockdown in March 2020.
This was followed by rigorous absorption tests until they finally obtained F.I.M. (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) approval, a key milestone.
That’s when the very first Sixten environmental mat was born !
