Ursus Innovation Center

The innovative history of Ursus began in 1966 , when Sergio Ferronato obtained the company's first patent: a quick release system that simplified and speeded up saddle adjustment and the creation of folding bicycles.

Innovation

Simplicity

A simple yet revolutionary idea that perfectly embodied the Ursus spirit: combining mechanical ingenuity with practical functionality.
Since then, the company has built a tradition of continuous innovation: from precision components to integrated systems for road and gravel bikes, to the latest sustainable and aerodynamic solutions.
Today, just like in the beginning, Ursus remains faithful to Sergio's original intuition: innovate with vision, transforming every technical detail into a real advantage for those who ride.

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING

Our Research, Development and Engineering division is the driving force behind Ursus innovation.

Here, our engineers combine advanced analysis, simulation, and prototyping to transform ideas into high-performance solutions.

Every detail is studied, tested and optimised to achieve maximum efficiency, lightness and durability.

This division embodies Ursus' commitment to continuous improvement, where creativity meets technology to push the limits of performance and reliability.

Technologies and Patents

U-press™

U-press™ is a proprietary integrated system that allows you to quickly disassemble the hub without the use of specific tools, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime.

Y-Stars™ Lacing

The Ursus patent revolutionizes the construction model of Ursus wheels: lighter thanks to the reduction of spokes, more practical with openings for immediate access to the hub, and unique for the three-dimensional intersection that blends performance and style in an iconic design.

UDshaped™

UDshaped™ is a unique rim profile design, conceived to replicate the aerodynamic performance of an airplane wing. Made of carbon fiber with a unidirectional finish, its layout ensures exceptional stiffness and reliability.

Xeramik™

Xeramik™ technology is a proprietary ceramic bearing manufacturing process that ensures exceptional strength and smoothness. Smoothness and responsiveness are ensured by the exclusive combination of balls and bearing housing.

ANS - Silent Ride

The Anti Noise System (ANS) is a patented technology that turns silence into a true performance feature .
Thanks to a mechanical damping system integrated into the head of the stand, it absorbs and neutralizes vibrations , ensuring silence, stability and reliability on any surface.
