The Belgie is affectionately named after Melbourne's infamous "Belgie Ride,” a short, sharp, mixed terrain shop ride that often resembles a CX race rather than a road ride.

Then after Jesse’s success in winning the 2015 Trans Am Bike Race, we wanted to develop the Belgie name further, highlighting the spirit of Australian endurance cycling. So the Belgie SPIRIT was born in 2016 to take on the 5,545km Indian Pacific Wheel Race, celebrating the rich history of the Overlanders from the 1890s. 

Furthermore, through feedback from endurance riders and athletes worldwide, we continued to develop this frame again, improving handling, cornering, clearance for light gravel tyres and now featuring bento box mounting points. As a result, we now call this version the Belgie ULTRA.
