KOGA Track cycling

The KOGA Kinsei track bike has been developed in recent years. KOGA has designed this ultimate track bike together with the KNWU (Dutch cycling sports association), university TU Delft, Actiflow and Pontis Engineering. The result is a track bike that is even more aerodynamic, even stiffer and even faster than its predecessor. How do we get the name?

We would like to thank Patrick De Roo for that. With an anagram of the name; Anton Geesink, who won gold at the Games in Tokyo in '64, he managed to make the name KINSEI. Freely translated it means: Made for gold.

At the beginning of 2023 we presented the updated version of the now so successful Kinsei. The KNWU asked us whether we could make the track bike even faster. In doing so, KOGA has concentrated on the front fork and the cockpit. With the improvements, the fork has become 7% more aerodynamic, the new handlebar is 23% faster.

Because the rider accounts for the greater part of the air resistance, the total speed gain is 1.2%. That amounts to about 15 watts at 70 km/h. If you let a sprinter ride a virtual lap against himself with the Kinsei from Tokyo and the bike that we will be using in Paris, you would get 1.5 meters ahead per lap with the latter bike. This is a huge improvement in track cycling.
