About Open
Open Cycle is a Swiss manufacturer of high-performance bicycles specializing in frames for the gravel segment.
Why choose an Open bike?
Open Cycle is renowned for its innovation and quality in the world of cycling. One of its main strengths is the emphasis it places on attention to detail and design. Open's lightweight yet durable frames, especially on their gravel and mountain bikes, are the result of performance-focused engineering. This balance between lightness and strength contributes to an unparalleled cycling experience, whether you're an enthusiastic amateur or a seasoned professional.
In addition, Open's minimalist design philosophy translates to less clutter and more functionality. Each component has its purpose, enhancing the bike's performance without adding unnecessary weight.
The exciting recent history of Open
Open Cycle was founded in 2012 in Basel, Switzerland. The brand is the brainchild of industry veterans Andy Kessler and Gerard Vroomen, who previously held leadership positions in brands such as BMC and Cervélo. Drawing from decades of experience in the industry, they chose a unique path, focusing solely on creating innovative, high-quality bikes without being distracted by corporate structures. They sought simplicity and functionality, making every design decision with a specific purpose in mind. This allowed Open to quickly carve out a niche for itself, establishing a distinct identity in a saturated market.
Open Cycle's notable achievements include the creation of the U.P. (Unbeaten Path) model, a pioneering gravel bike that shifted the industry's perspective. By allowing the use of both road and mountain tires, the U.P. ushered in a new era of versatility, enabling riders to navigate various terrains with a single bike. This groundbreaking model and others like the WI.DE. (Winding Detours) embody Open's commitment to challenging conventions, constantly pushing the boundaries of cycling technology and design. Today, Open Cycle remains at the forefront of the industry, continually setting new standards for quality, performance, and versatility.

What are the advantages of buying a refurbished Open bike?
Buying a refurbished bike offers three main advantages:
The first is cost-effective. By choosing to purchase a refurbished pre-owned Open bike from Tuvalum, you can save between 20% and 60% compared to the price of a new bike.
The second advantage is mechanical revision. While it is possible to buy a used Open bike from an individual, most platforms and second-hand product applications do not guarantee the condition of the items sold. You would have to trust a stranger and risk purchasing a bike with hidden damages. At Tuvalum, all bikes are meticulously inspected and refurbished by our team of mechanics, ensuring that each bike meets the same technical standards and approvals required by the European Union for new bikes. Additionally, they come with a one-year mechanical warranty and an 18-month buyback guarantee.
Another compelling reason to buy a refurbished Open bike is its positive impact on sustainable development. By choosing a bike that has already been manufactured, you contribute to reducing the ecological footprint associated with purchasing a new bike. Did you know that a new bike generates a carbon footprint of 300 kilograms of CO2 during its manufacturing process?
