Performance Is Designed — Not Claimed


Kappstein develops components only where existing bicycle design theory has reached its limit. What others optimise incrementally, we rethink fundamentally — from geometry to load paths to contact mechanics.

Serious riders, competitive teams, and mechanics choose Kappstein for components that deliver stability, efficiency, and longevity — race after race.

Kappstein's drivetrains take not only me personally but also my Superkool team to a completely new level. There's nothing faster when it comes to fixed gear racing.

Reliability I can always count on – Thank you, Kappstein!

For over five years, I’ve been riding on the track with chainrings and sprockets from Kappstein – and in all that time, there hasn’t been a single moment where I doubted my equipment. Especially on the track, where precision and reliability are crucial, that’s invaluable to me.

The Kappstein Elite series impresses me with its stiffness, top-notch craftsmanship, and perfect synergy with the 11-speed chain – quiet, lightweight, and simply efficient. My setup ranges from 53 to 60 teeth on the chainring, paired with 14 to 16 teeth on the sprocket – ideal for any race situation.

But what’s just as important to me as the performance: the support. Kappstein isn’t just a manufacturer; they’re a partner. Communication is always straightforward, delivery is fast, the service is top-notch – and everything is “Made in Germany.”

Thank you, Kappstein, for your reliable support and trust – it means a lot to me to have such a strong partner by my side on the track,

As a bike courier, I don’t want to ride
anything else anymore. I’d say I’m usually a bit negligent with maintenance. However,
be it snow, mud, sand, salt—it’s still a smooth ride! In addition, it’s one of
the most beautiful chainrings on the market! I bought a new one a year ago, but
the old one still hasn’t worn out.

Innovation That Changes How Bikes Perform

Every Kappstein product begins with a question:
Where has current design theory hit a limit — and what if we rethink it entirely?

That’s why Kappstein parts lead their category for years, not seasons.
