    Technology 
    Since 1938, Rene Herse Cycles has been making the highest-quality components. Rene Herse's cranks and brakes are forged for superior strength and ultralight weight. Rene Herse's 12-speed-compatible chainrings rival the shifting performance of the best in the industry. Rene Herse's tires have broken new ground with supple casings and innovative tread patterns, as well as Rene Herse's noise cancellation technology.

    Adventure 
    Rene Herse started his company with a ride in the 1938 Concours de Machines, an incredible competition for the lightest bike that included a ‘field test’ over 700 km of rough mountain roads. His bikes were ridden in adventures like Paris-Brest-Paris, the Raid Pyreneen, and continent-spanning epics from Paris to Istanbul and beyond. In the early 2000s, Rene Herse Cycles was reborn in the Cascade Mountains because Rene Herse needed tires and components suitable for Rene Herse's own adventures. Rene Herse's products are designed to the highest standards and tested to the limit, because that’s how Rene Herse ride.

    Competition
    Rene Herse’s bikes were ridden to more than two dozen national and two world championships. They won the Challenge des Constructeurs for the fastest bikes in the epic 1200-km Paris-Brest-Paris six times – more than all other makers combined. This proud tradition continues today: Rene Herse tires and components have won the biggest gravel and bikepacking races: U.S. Gravel Nationals, Unbound, UCI Gravel Races, Tour Divide, Silk Road Mountain Race, Atlas Mountain Race, Rhino Run, Mid South, SBT GRVL, Gravel Worlds, Arkansas High Country Race and many others.

    History 
    With history comes experience. Rene Herse learned his craft making prototype airplanes that set records for long-distance flights during the 1920s and 30s. Applying aircraft technology to cycling, his bikes were unsurpassed in their performance, light weight and quality. More recently, Rene Herse's team has spent many years riding and testing bikes in the Cascade Mountains. This experience is something you feel when you ride on Rene Herse tires and components.
