Inspired by Formula 1, Ku Cycle TF1 | Oompa Loompa Cycling

Kú Cycle is a Dutch-based company founded by entrepreneur Alex Bok and former Formula 1 engineer Richard McAinsh. The name 'Kú' is derived from the Japanese word for 'craftsmanship' or 'artistry,' reflecting the brand's dedication to precision and excellence. Richard's experience with top-tier motorsports teams like Ferrari and Benetton, combined with Alex's extensive background in managing professional triathlon teams, has culminated in a unique approach to bike design.

Launched at the end of 2020, the TF1 represents a significant leap in triathlon bike engineering. Its design draws inspiration from Formula 1 principles, particularly in aerodynamics. The TF1 features a distinctive high fork and a head tube positioned between the rider's arms, effectively reducing air resistance and enhancing speed. This innovative approach stems from a complete reimagining of the bike's front end, aiming to minimize drag where it matters most.

Furthermore, Kú Cycle's commitment to rider-specific customization ensures that each TF1 is built to match the individual athlete's biomechanics, providing a tailored fit that optimizes performance.
