The Leeze story
Until 2012: How It All Began
Frank and Florian, both passionate cyclists since their youth in athletics, developed their first carbon wheelset on their own. It quickly became clear: this could also be a professional future.
2012: The Foundation
In 2012, Frank and Florian founded Leeze in Münster, Germany’s No. 1 cycling city. "Leeze" (pronounced "Lehtze," not "Lease") means "bicycle" in the local dialect. The expansion soon required dedicated premises, especially for the new Holland Mechanics truing machine.
2015-2018: Relocation and Growth
In 2015, Leeze moved into a new rental facility. The company steadily grew in the market, and in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Eric Helter, development of a new generation of wheelsets began. Marketing efforts expanded, and a complete bike service was introduced.
2019: New Products, New Building
The new generation of Leeze wheels exceeded all testing expectations: WASO and WSTO technologies became the focus of Leeze wheel development. Unmatched in price and quality, this marked a milestone. In 2019, Leeze opened its own workshop and embarked on a major project: constructing its own building near the current location, including a bike store and space for further growth.
2020: The Birth of Our Bike Store
With the new Leeze Bike Store, we now showcase our wheelsets and complete bikes. It allows us to build custom Leeze AERO ONE and Leeze GRAVEL ONE bikes according to customer preferences while also providing workshop services for customer bikes.
2021: Growth and Test Successes
Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we achieved strong growth in 2021, further strengthening our brand. Our BASIC product line, in particular, gained significant popularity, receiving excellent reviews in leading German cycling magazines. Notably, the CC 50 Disc BASIC won the test in TOUR magazine.
2022-2023: New Webshop, Improved Logistics, and Expanded Product Range
With a newly designed webshop, Leeze introduced an expanded range of Allroad and Gravel wheels. At the same time, the new Leeze B2B shop enabled us to expand our dealer network. An updated inventory management system optimized our logistics, ensuring reliable delivery times and better product availability.
2024: Leeze Labs – Engineering Expertise at the Forefront
Drawing from our collaboration with Prof. Dr. Eric Helter, our in-house expertise, and years of partnerships, Leeze Labs was established. Here, we make our knowledge, D2R development technology, and wheel series transparent and tangible for our customers. The pinnacle of Leeze Labs marks a major milestone: the launch of the Leeze CC35 Disc ULTRA, the new flagship of our wheel lineup.
