Tune

With more than 30 years of experience in the cycling industry , Tune specialises in the manufacture of lightweight, quality bicycle components. Their designs and manufacturing are 100% German, using carbon as the main material for most of their products. It all started in 1988 with a weight problem... Uli Fahl created Tune because of his need to save power on his MTB rides, so he started experimenting. He replaced all bolts with aluminium bolts and developed weight-optimised rear derailleur kits. They were well received, but attracted more attention in the professional world with the super-light AC8 quick release system. In 1989, the inventor left his job in Munich as a chemist for a lubricant manufacturer, started his company and returned to his native country in the Black Forest. Uli hired people and continues to develop innovative lightweight equipment to this day.
