Cyber Cycles

What Cyber Cycles does

Cyber Cycles is a German two-person handmade bicycle components manufacturer based in Jena with a production workshop in Offenbach am Main. The company designs, engineers and crafts a small portfolio of premium bicycle parts — hand-brazed steel cranks (Cyber Cranks ST/OR/GR), modular switchblade-style forks (Cross Blade DSC and RIM) and CNC/3D-printed stems (Hammerhorst LVE, Crypto, Roller) — under a 'retrofuturism' design philosophy that fuses 1980s and 1990s aesthetics with modern safety and engineering standards. Production relies on traditional frame-building by master craftsman Stefano Agresti (active since 1989) combined with CNC machining and additive manufacturing for TI-6Al-4V and TI-3Al-2.5V titanium components.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model via its own storefront at www.cybercycles.de, shipping fixed-priced components (€23.90-€589.00 including VAT) to Germany, the wider EU, the UK, Switzerland, the USA and Canada, alongside quote-based bespoke custom frame and complete-bike builds. Customer acquisition is driven by Instagram content marketing, bike-show showcases and word-of-mouth in the custom-bike community, with custom-bike projects (notably the Hamster cargo bike, built in collaboration with Kabuff Cycles and painter Dany Rehm) acting as flagship pieces that attract attention to the component catalog.

The company is bootstrapped with no external funding, no parent entity, and no disclosed revenue. It carries a single named strategic partnership with master frame-builder Stefano Agresti, supplemented by accessory integrations with Lezyne and Extralite in the Aero Kit, and collaborations with Kabuff Cycles, Dany Rehm, and a Dave Garoutte-designed seat clamp. The product line targets individual custom-bicycle enthusiasts and mountain bike, gravel and bikepacking riders who value distinctive handmade components with retrofuturistic styling over mass-produced alternatives.

Core offering

Cyber Cycles designs and manufactures handmade bicycle components including cranks, forks, and stems, alongside custom complete non-motorized bikes. All products are handcrafted in Germany using Columbus CrMo steel, titanium alloys, and aluminum, combining traditional craftsmanship (hand brazing/welding by master frame builder Stefano Agresti) with CNC technologies and 3D printing. The company's portfolio centers on a retrofuturism design philosophy that translates 80s/90s bicycle concepts into modern, functional components.

Product overview

Cyber Cycles is a German handmade bicycle components company offering a cohesive portfolio of premium bike parts centered on three core product lines: cranks (Cyber Cranks OR/GR/ST for off-road, gravel, and square-taper applications), suspension forks (Cross Blade DSC for disc brake and Cross Blade RIM for rim brake, both featuring modular titanium or steel blades inspired by the iconic Switchblade design), and stems (Hammerhorst titanium bar-stem combo, Crypto Stem with hidden clamping, and Roller Stem quill/Ahead models). The company also produces custom complete bikes (custom frames and full bikes built by master frame-builder Stefano Agresti) and sells accessories including chainring spiders, seat clamps, and aero kits. All products are engineered and handcrafted in Germany using traditional craftsmanship combined with CNC technologies and additive manufacturing, embodying a 'retrofuturism' philosophy of transferring classic 80s/90s concepts into modern, functional components.
