Amsterdam / Eindhoven, 05 November 2025 — Two leading Dutch cycling brands, Gravaa and Handgespaakt, announce a collaboration that marks the intersection of craftsmanship and innovation. Together, they present a limited edition of just 10 hand-built wheelsets — each a statement of precision, performance, and design integrity.
Built entirely in the Netherlands, this partnership celebrates the shared ethos of both brands: uncompromising quality and forward-thinking engineering. Handgespaakt brings its renowned artistry in custom wheel building, while Gravaa contributes its revolutionary tire pressure regulation system, developed and produced in Eindhoven.
