Technology

Since 1938, Rene Herse Cycles has been making the highest-quality components. Our cranks and brakes are forged for superior strength and ultralight weight. Our 12-speed-compatible chainrings rival the shifting performance of the best in the industry. Our tires have broken new ground with supple casings and innovative tread patterns, as well as our noise cancellation technology.

Banden

Niets veranderd het gevoel en de snelheid van je fiets als een set soepele banden. Rene Herse banden zijn vouwbanden met het gevoel van een Tube. Meer dan 15 jaar geleden is Rene Herse begonnen met brede banden. Ze zijn geschikt voor snelle races, en off-road avonturen.

Er zijn banden van glad asfalt tot ruw gravel. Voor elk soort terrein is er een band met een licht lopend karkas en breedtes variërend van 26 tot 55mm.

Grote Noppen

Bij Rene Herse hebben we een eigen kijk op banden met noppen. We wilden een band maken met voldoende grip op losse ondergrond zonder snelheid te verliezen op harde asfal

At Rene Herse, we designed our knobbies like wet-weather Formula 1 tires: We took a slick and removed as much material as possible, while still preserving the performance of the slick tire. The objective is different—evacuate water for Formula 1; dig into loose surfaces for bicycles—but the idea is the same. And with cyclists’ smaller power output, we could carve away the surface of our slick tire until only knobs remained.

History

With history comes experience. Rene Herse learned his craft making prototype airplanes that set records for long-distance flights during the 1920s and 30s. Applying aircraft technology to cycling, his bikes were unsurpassed in their performance, light weight and quality. Today’s Rene Herse team has spent many years riding and testing bikes in the Cascade Mountains. You can feel this experience when you ride on Rene Herse tires and components.
