About Us
David Rockefeller said, “if necessity is the mother of invention, discontent is the father of progress.”
It was discontent with the current carbon fiber wheels available, discontent with their performance, and discontent with their comfort, that drove the founders of 10TECH to challenge the status quo and delve into their experience in the aerospace and automotive industries, to challenge the accepted design of bicycle wheels.
They started out by looking at handmade carbon fiber wheels on the market, driving themselves to design and produce a wheel that was more flexible, more comfortable, and able to perform under heavier weights.
And so, discontent and invention came together and 10TECH was born,
introducing a truly revolutionary, innovative new product to the cycling industry. A wheel that is more durable and compliant, built on a Monocoque Single Wall construction – vs the industry standard box structure – giving you built-in flex.
Cutting edge functional technology with strength and durability.
Why 10TECH?
Carbon fiber is ten times stronger than steel*, and the technology used to produce our wheels is breaking boundaries.
It all comes together in our name and our product.
A carbon mountain bike wheel like no other. For a ride like no other.
