OUR HISTORY

Tradition with
future.

The foundation for the success story of CicloSport K.W. Hochschorner GmbH was laid in 1978 when the company was founded in Stockdorf near Munich. With more than 40 years of experience, we have developed into an outstanding pioneer in the world of sports electronics by consistently focussing on innovation and the highest quality standards. At CICLO, we don’t just start stories, we actively shape the future of sports electronics. In 1980, we set standards by pioneering the launch of electronic bike computers and have been continuously developing them ever since. The CICLO brand stands for modern products that not only offer the highest quality, but also a comprehensive and practical range of information. Our in-house development department ensures that we always keep our finger on the pulse and work on pioneering products. An outstanding example of our innovative spirit is our long-standing and successful cooperation with Robert Bosch GmbH in the field of e-bike drives, which has been in place since 2010. At CICLO, we not only focus on technological excellence, but also on the highest quality standards. In 2011, we introduced a process- and customer-orientated management system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2008, which was successfully upgraded to the new EN ISO 9001:2015 standard in 2017.This certification documents that all processes and procedures at CICLO are subject to constant monitoring and continuous improvement. Welcome to the world of CICLO, where we are not only making history, but also shaping the future of sports electronics together.
