Founded in 2012 by cycling industry veterans Gerard Vroomen and Andy Kessler, OPEN Cycles has made a remarkable impact despite its smaller scale. Their landmark U.P. model revolutionized gravel biking with innovative features like dropped chainstays, shaping industry standards. OPEN prioritizes forward-thinking designs over frequent updates, evident in the sustained presence of the original U.P. in their lineup since 2015. With the anticipation surrounding their new U.P.PER. CONCE.PT model, the company continues to push boundaries and redefine what cyclists can expect from high-performance bicycles.
The OPEN U.P. (Unbeaten Path) defined and stabilized the nascent gravel scene, introducing groundbreaking features like dropped chainstays for wider tires, influencing bike design industry-wide.
Despite being a fraction of the size of bigger bike brands, OPEN Cycles utilizes agility and rider-centric innovation to establish a significant presence in bike design.
