IKARUS – The courage to think big.

Why do we call ourselves IKARUS? Because this myth represents the courage to refuse established limits. Icarus was the ultimate challenger. He was not content with staying on the ground just because everyone else did. He used feathers and wax to defy gravity—the most advanced lightweight materials of his time. Today, we do exactly the same, only our material is called High-Modulus Carbon.

For us, it is about that one moment when cycling no longer feels like pedaling, but like floating.

Als Manufaktur aus den Schweizer Alpen bauen wir Räder nicht für Marktanteile, sondern für genau dieses Erlebnis auf der Strasse. Man sagte uns, wir könnten unmöglich mit den Grosskonzernen der Branche mithalten. Doch wir haben es wie unser Namenspatron gemacht: Wir haben es einfach gewagt.

We welcome the challenge of independent testing against the best in the industry – not just to beat them, but to ensure that we have built the best possible bike for you.

The result is the IKARUS FASTER: A bike proven to be lighter and more aerodynamic than the flagships of the industry giants.

IKARUS. AGAINST THE MAINSTREAM. FOR PERFORMANCE.
