Simply a bicycle
Perhaps by calling the bicycle the greatest vehicle in the world, we’re hopeless idealists. But it was precisely this idea that gave birth to Koloride.
We wanted to create a single bike—comfortable in the city and reliable off-road. Over time, that dream turned into a brand.
Our passion became our way of life.
Every day we set out into the world
We are based in the heart of Wielkopolska National Park, in a house by the forest, from where we head out on rides along local gravel roads, long bikepacking adventures and ultramarathon races. It is here, surrounded by nature yet only 15 km from Poznań, that we develop and bring to life ideas inspired by countless kilometres in the saddle.
Welcome to the world of Koloride!
Our Story
What started as a small workshop has grown into a brand created by people who simply love to ride. Koloride has developed step by step—from its first model to subsequent innovations and designs. Today, we continue on this path, focusing on innovation, local production, and a community of cyclists who, like us, truly enjoy riding.
Project Timeline
Key milestones in Koloride's development—from the first prototypes to today's models.
At the Start, Highest Quality
We are driven by curiosity, and it has led us to the solutions behind Koloride's comfortable and versatile bikes. Behind us are months of meetings and conversations with experts, dozens of hours spent on designs and prototypes, and the selection of the best partners. All so that you have a bike that gives you complete freedom to choose your route in any conditions.
Moving Forward!
We started with versatile gravel bikes featuring an aluminium frame whose innovative geometry revived the idea behind ATB bikes. Today we can boast a comprehensive range that will satisfy the most demanding cyclists. We expanded our portfolio with titanium-framed bikes: gravel, all-road, 3D-printed (!), carbon (gravel), and a new line of e-Kolo electrics.
Sharp Turn
From the very beginning, we have focused on innovation and are not afraid to make bold decisions. We were among the first in Poland to offer a belt-drive gravel bike, which thanks to a refined frame geometry, passed all performance tests among our clients. The next milestone on the Polish cycling market is Koloride's introduction of titanium frames – still a niche for connoisseurs today, but tomorrow one of the first choices.
Staying on Course
We are cyclists with a mission and vision. We want to create bikes for the times and needs. Sensitive to the diverse needs of modern cyclists, we built the e-Kolo based on the MAHLEx20 electric system, which although nearly invisible to the naked eye, allows you to cover truly long distances. Interestingly, the bike weighs no more than 12 kg. Is that the end? We don't think so!
Descent to the Workshop
We change our offer, but we don't change as the Koloride team. Every one of our bikes is still hand-assembled in our near-Poznań workshop. We use only the highest quality materials and components. We offer hours of conversation about needs and expectations, plus an initial bike fitting – all to help create your dream bike. We find time for group rides, trips and coffee rides.
The Forester Builds a Bike
We love nature and want to protect it. In the production process, we strive to reduce our carbon footprint by using materials from verified sources, short supply chains and eco-friendly packaging. We are craftsmen committed to uncompromising and timeless quality, so you can enjoy your Koloride for many years.
Your Own Direction
We care about what bikes you ride. We focus on riders with different needs and lifestyles, which is why personalisation is so important to us. We want to include as many people as possible in gravel riding – regardless of gender or physical ability, giving everyone the opportunity to pursue their passion on their own terms.
Team & Vision
Behind Koloride stands a team of people with a passion for cycling and attention to detail. We believe a bike is not just a means of transport but a partner on the road – that is why we treat every project individually.
Our vision: bikes that serve for years and bring joy to every ride.

Technical Inquiry
Technical Perfection
Aluminium, titanium or carbon frame designed for a versatile and comfortable ride. What distinguishes the Koloride frame is the special geometry, which is based on several months of work and years of experience riding different bikes, in different styles. It provides an optimally comfortable position for people with a more amateur approach to driving. At the same time, the bike remains compact and maneuverable, thusin its sporty form, it finds itself perfectly in the field. The unique parameters of the frame allow you to choose components for your individual driving style.
Chassis
Another improvement introduced by Koloride is the possibility of installing a front gravel shock absorber or a rigid carbon fork while maintaining the same geometry of the aluminum and titanium frame. We achieved this by extending the rigid carbon fork to 420 millimeters.
Fork
The rear triangle of the Koloride frame has been designed in such a way as to be able to use both a traditional chain and a strap – which is a new trend in the gravel world. The presence of two types of hooks gives you the opportunity to modify the bike in the future and change the drive without having to buy a new frame.
Antrieb
The Koloride frame allows you to choose between a simple steering wheel and a lamb, guaranteeing an equally comfortable riding position. The flatbar assembly does not force a stronger inclination in the lower grip. On the other hand, the dropbar handlebar (the so-called lamb) gives you great freedom and comfort of gripping the handlebar.
Handle Bar
We’ve increased the distance between the front and rear axles. This means that the Koloride bike handles straight stretches on paved surfaces and downhill sections with ease. The wheelbase also ensures excellent stability when the bike is loaded with panniers or bags.
Wheelbase
In Koloride bikes, different tyre thicknesses and treads can be used, depending on the needs of the future biker. As standard, we use 40"tires, but if the bike is to be used mainly in urban space, we suggest 32-38", and if the focus is on off-road driving, it is possible to install a thicker tire – 45"
Tires
We want the Koloride bike to accompany you in many situations, which is why we offer the maximum number of mounting screws as standard, which allow you to attach the mudguards, the rear and front rack, the toolbox, three water bottles, panniers or bikepacking bags and the foot.
Mounting brackets
We want to involve as many people as possible in the graveling, which is why we created the E-Bike line. They have the lightest electric support on the market from MAHLE. The discreet, aesthetic and very efficient battery and efficient motor provide amazingly long ranges (they can be extended with an additional battery). They will work both as bicycles for work and for longer trips interrain
