The igus:bike World Tour

Follow the igus:bike tour around the globe here.

Founded on October 15th, 1964, by Günter Blase, igus® has been keeping the world moving with lubrication-free high-performance plastics ever since. Now a leading motion plastics manufacturer, their products can be found everywhere in cars, cranes, furniture, machine tools and robots – even in bicycles.  When it comes to moving components, igus® believes it is time to ‘GO ZERO’ with lubrication, evidenced by the extensive product range of high-performance plastics.

The green light was given for the igus:bike to begin the world tour and it has set off from the igus® factory in Cologne, Germany. October 2024 marks the 60th birthday of igus® and to celebrate the occasion, the bike will travel the world for a whole year! The urban bike highlights the many advantages of igus® “motion plastics” products, endeavouring to bring industry partners, media representatives and consumers closer while showing how the transformation to a sustainable circular economy of plastics can succeed. This bike does not rust, does not need oil and is almost entirely maintenance-free.

The igus:bike will arrive in the UK in the summer months of 2025, travelling across the UK to visit customers and see the sights. Until then, follow along as the bike travels across the globe with igus®.
