TUNE

Tune - Recognized for its extremely light bicycle components

Created by an climbing enthusiast in 1989, the Tune company began its activity in the Black Forest (Germany). Uli Fahl, the founder, went to the foot of the climbing walls with his mountain bike. He quickly noticed the heaviness of his two-wheeler who exhausted him too much on the approach journey. The year preceding the launch of the brand, Uli embarked on the upgrade of its bicycle by replacing the steel screws by anodized aluminum screws. He even created kits to lighten the rear derailleur. He really made himself known with his fast AC8 attachment by establishing himself as a reference in terms of lightness. Today, cyclists around the world are equipped with bicycle components to make high -performance and aesthetic montages.

Tune - The top of the range of cycle devices

The spirit of the creator of Tune has always focused on the hubs and wheels Because he wanted at all costs to reduce the weight and mass of moving elements. Because, it is at this specific location that the results are the most noticeable. He marketed a super light high-tech hub which quickly dominated competition. The latter, named Décibelle, displayed a weight of less than 130 g! As its name suggests, its high sound was easily recognizable. The German company then developed, in the 90s, a pedal box entirely in ceramic for Jan Ulrich which was then in competition for the yellow jersey in the Tour de France. This formidable adventure on the road bicycle propels the brand to front of the international scene.
