The pursuit for nothing but the best.
Cycling is, and will always be a sport driven and decided by uncountable factors. This drives each competitive cyclist to look for solutions balancing all these factors; peak power versus endurance, rolling resistance versus grip, weight versus aerodynamics, price versus performance.
From our passion for racing, technology and craftsmanship we try to keep looking for technological advantages and boundaries of rules. Using the smart processes and manufracturing methods to give you a completely custom product from wherever you are.

With the wild variety of proprietary mounting systems and internal cable routing it becomes ever harder to find a proper integrated cockpit for your bike. The Speeco RHB aims to fill this gap, offering the perfect sized cockpit for you, that works flawlessly with your bike.
The small 3D printed solutions we made for one specific athlete might help out more athletes around the globe, so these are now available on our website.
Kristian Blumenfelt wins the 2021 (2020) Tokyo Olympics on board Speeco ITU extensions. After the swim, all three Norwegians power back to the front on their extensions and are able to start the run in the first group. Kristian finishes it of in fantastic fashion.
For the Tokyo olympics, we develop a completely integrated handlebar+extensions cockpit for Laura Lindemann. After a complete race at the front, she finishes at a 8th spot.
After months of unclarity, Jan-Willem van Schip uses the ABB in the Belgium tours. Unfortunately resting his arms on them results in a disqualification. The ABB is now illegal for use in road races, but after testing the UCI approved them for use on the track.
Why are our stems so long, and our handlebars so short? When riding in his breakaway position, Jan-Willem was only touching his bars with his wrists. Although it is very aerodynamic, it is not a safe position and not very comfortable either. So he was in a constant search for…Read More
When we got our first request from a client for a monoriser, we did not want to compromise by a plate adapter to a dual riser setup. Instead we developed the Speeco Monobridge setup; a CNC’ed centerpiece in which the extensions horizontally slide in, meaning the load isn’t beared by…Read More
In Februari 2020, Together with Dutch long distance Triathlon champion Erik-Simon Strijk we started the development of a Triathlon specific version of Speeco’s TTX. While corona slowed us down, it did not stop us from going on. In the end, both parties are really happy with the result of this…Read More
Due to Corona measurements, the University of Eindhoven had to be closed, thus all our research and production facilities were blocked. A Speeco workshop was rented and built, so we can develop and produce products while being able to socially distance from other people.
Speeco attends and gives a workshop at theta’s innovation by performance congress, challenging TU/e and Fontys students to combine their technical knowledge and sports experience into developing (customised) sports equipment.
After countless designs and prototypes, the first final TTX is built for Béta tester Pieter ten Kortenaar.
To further optimize aerodynamics, and make the extensions UCI-legal, a second prototype was developed.
To make Speeco products commercially available, we joined TU/e innovation space. Here we grow together with a dozen of other entrepreneurs and student teams driven by innovation
Motivated by the windtunnel test, the design was fixated into the desired position and made out of carbon-fiber. This prototype was later used at the Dutch national student championships, and broke the hour-record on Eindhoven’s track OpNoord.
After already a few design iterations a chance to test in the TU/e windtunnel came into our path. The latest iteration was 3D printed and tested, while being quite bulky (for it still had to be able to be adjusted to optimise the position) a Cda value improvement of 2.3%…Read More
Jules ended his bachelor with designing a carbon manufacturing method for high-speed record breaking RC-planes student team Air/e. Here lies the foundation for a lot of SPEECO’s later developed technologies in carbon manufacturing.
In 2017 Jules de Cock and Noah van Horen meet during their national cycling competition races, this was Noah’s last year as a (trying to) high-level athlete. Jules is still racing to this day
