HONEST - The Truth Behind High-End Bikes

HONEST exists for one reason: to stop pretending premium bikes need premium price tags.

We build our bikes where the world’s top brands like „C” or „C” build theirs-same factories, same engineers, same carbon fiber, same hands shaping every frame. The only difference? We don’t hide behind a famous logo or spend millions on pro team sponsorships and glossy marketing campaigns.

There is no difference in quality. Only in price.

Those brands make phenomenal bikes – no argument there. But you’re not just paying for engineering. You’re paying for marketing budgets, pro team sponsorships, race trucks, and giant billboards.

We think that’s backwards.

We Don’t Charge for the Story. Just the Bike.

So we built HONEST differently.

We went straight to the source-the exact same manufacturing lines-and built bikes to the same standards, without the inflated price tag. No middlemen. No marketing hype. Just pure performance, precision carbon engineering, and honest pricing.

What HONEST Stands For:

  • Built in the same factories as the elite brands
  • Crafted by the same people, using the same carbon and quality control
  • Zero money wasted on celebrity sponsorships or marketing drama
  • Pure performance, honest pricing

Cycling Shouldn’t Be Exclusive. It Should Be HONEST.

We’re here to democratize high-performance cycling. To make top-tier bikes accessible to real riders-not just pros.

Because speed and innovation shouldn’t belong to the few. It should be for anyone who loves to ride.




After over 15 years in the cycling world, we launched Honest Bikes in 2023 to challenge the norms of an industry that often prioritizes profit over people. We saw too many brands pushing unnecessary features and exaggerated claims to justify rising costs when in reality, most riders just want something that performs, feels good, and lasts.

We’re a small team of riders, designers, and engineers who love bikes and believe that good design and honesty should go hand in hand.

We’ve studied global markets, tracked industry trends, and identified where costs could be reduced without compromising quality. Many big brands are locked into cycles of constant growth to meet investor demands. That pressure leads to inflated pricing and flashy sales tactics. We’re here to offer an alternative.

Our frames are built in the same world-class facilities as many well-known brands, meeting strict safety and quality standards. But instead of layering on the markup, we focus on honest value what you pay goes directly into the product.

And while we care deeply about performance, we also know most riders aren’t professional athletes. We avoid overwhelming you with technical jargon, and focus instead on building bikes that meet real-world needs with clarity and integrity.

We also believe in building bikes that last, reducing waste, and helping more people fall in love with cycling for the long ride, not just the race.

If you're ready for a more honest ride, we’d love to be part of your journey.
