Customers from around the world can now get acquainted with M5 lightweight bike products at M5PRO.COM | |||||
 Starting March 19th, 2010, customers from around the world can now find out more about M5 products and order them online at M5PRO.COM.It was on a friday morning around coffeetime when the idea for the first M5 hub was born. The weight of the hub body and axle was only 19 grammes. The bearings weighed 10 grammes and the other components added 3 grammes. March 19th 2010 (19-03-10) is therefore a symbolic opening date. Since that first hub, M5 products have seen a lot of the world. They quickly found their way to the cycling public. Even pro riders discovered M5. They pay as much for their parts as everyone else. This unique Dutch marketing works: These parts are apparently transcending sponsorship.... The products are also unique. They are designed and manufactured entirely in the Netherlands using advanced techniques and materials: Computer Aided Design, CNC'ed 7075 aluminum and carbon. To make the products more accessible, they're now available on the web at M5PRO.COM. The site has all the information on our available products.

Super lightweight carbon city bike for Bram Moens' mother, because an electric bike was not an option! | |||||
) It's in the genes, that much is clear. Bram's mother is almost 86 en does around 6000 km all year round on the bicycle. Up till now she used an already lightweight custom-made bicycle with Cr-Mo Reynolds tubing. So, the weight of this city bike was already little with approximately 12 kg, but starting and stopping it was a bit hard because of the relatively high positioned top tube. Therefore a full carbon lightweight bicycle with a much lower frame curve and obviously a lot of lightweight M5 components (hubs, brakes and rims) was made. The result is a remarkably rigid, smooth and lightweight (7.3 kg) carbon city bike with a 9 speed gear system. The crank is acquired from another recumbent builder in the USA (Lightning). Two carbon chain rims around the 42 toothed blade make sure the chain is kept perfectly in place. | |||||
