UCI World Cycling Partners

TISSOT

First UCI World Cycling Partner

Cycling is one of the sports that Tissot has been most involved in, as it has been associated with various cycling events for the past 50 years. Proud of its Swiss roots, Tissot first got involved with the UCI in 1995. Tissot became the first “UCI World Cycling Partner” in the history of the UCI in 2017. In that capacity, Tissot remains the exclusive Official Timekeeper of the UCI for the totality of its events and disciplines. As far as Track Cycling is concerned, Tissot has become the first ever title sponsor of the UCI Track World Cup and the first presenting sponsor of the UCI Track World Championships. In addition, Tissot will also be the presenting sponsor of all future attempts at UCI Hour Record. Tissot’s new status in track cycling responds perfectly to the disciplines requirements for reliability and innovation, which are essential in a discipline where the difference between victory and defeat can be fractions of seconds. Tissot will also provide its timing services for all of the World Championships of the UCI’s Olympic disciplines (road, track, mountain bike and BMX) as well as for all of the legs of the UCI Track World Cup and any future attempts at the UCI Hour Record.

Throughout the last century Shimano has established itself as the world’s leading manufacturer of bicycle components thanks to its record of outstanding innovation and product reliability. The functionality and quality of Shimano products is widely recognized by consumers, bicycle shop mechanics and manufacturers alike.

Shimano’s founded Shozaburo Shimano set up the Shimano Iron Works in 1921 to produce bicycle freewheels. Within a decade Shimano was producing 30,000 single-speed freewheels a year, going from strength to strength ever since.

In recent times demand for bicycles has surged as consumers look to combat health concerns, environmental matters and transportation issues, as well as achieving sporting success or fitness goals. Shimano is dedicated to supplying high-quality and high-performance components to all bicycle users across the world, covering everyone from the world’s top bicycle racers to daily bicycle users.
