Bravo Cycles was founded by Felipe Hefler, a Brazilian designer who moved to Norway and always have loved bicycles, starting fixing and tweaking them. As many, it started as hobby and with time it grew to become his passion.

A bicycle is such a great and simple piece of engineer.

In its physics, it involves the most basic principles of mechanics and forces; emotionally, it creates bonds between people, gives them mobility, takes anyone where wanted. It is in the simplicity of been totally in control of the situation, from the energy you spend to the paths you take, that makes this object such a unique marvel to wonder.

Our mission is pay homage to this true sprit.

We want to create custom experiences and pass it along, sharing our knowledge and giving you the means to reproduce such a joy, is key to us. In our company we do not want to give you the pretentious “segregated” exclusivity bullsh*t. We want it to have a deep meaning for everyone involved in the process: us, you and everybody around us.
