Tune: It all started with a weight problem...
At the end of the 80ies bikes weren?t light at all. This was a really big deal
for Uli Fahl, which leaded into the foundation of Tune in 1989. The triumph began
with a lightweight quick release for mountain bikes, which became iconic
immediately within the bike scene. After that, subtle bottom brackets with
titanium spindles and superlight aluminium cranks followed. By that time, Tune
has already become a well-known lightweight specialist.
The high tech hubs Mig & Mag, which let the wheelsets become even lighter,
paved the way for Tunes summit attempt. Today all bike components such as
hubs,
cranks,
stems,
hubs,
seat postsand
head sets are developed, CNC-shaped
and produced in the Black Forest in Germany. The procession of carbon material is
becoming more and more important for Tune. saddles,
bars and rims made of this
precious fibre are available at the r2-bike.com online shop.
