Still Accelerating.
Since 1986, Raymond Vanstraelen's vision has driven us forward: biomechanical innovation tested in the lab, proven on the podium. From pioneering aerodynamic research to revolutionizing Belgian Blue dominance, from breakthrough prototypes to pro peloton victories... 40 years of relentless pursuit and still accelerating.
1986.
In 1986, former semi-pro cyclist Raymond Vanstraelen founded Bioracer with the holistic vision: to make every cyclist faster. His philosophy that 'man is the measure of all things' led him to pioneer the first biomechanical bike fit, creating custom bikes and shoes that honored each rider's unique signature. This perfect synthesis of biomechanical precision and racing passion inspired our name: Bioracer.
1989.
In 1989, Bioracer's passion for cycling perfection led to apparel innovation, with Raymond's vision and his wife Annie's masterful craftsmanship leading the way. The revolutionary Isofilm Rain Jacket first conquered the pro peloton through Team Panasonic, before pro team Tonton Tapis-GB chose to ride in full Bioracer apparel by 1991.
1994.
From Raymond's garage to our Tessenderlo factory, Bioracer's dedication to excellence propelled us onto the world stage. Our partnership with Belgian Cycling in 1994 sparked immediate glory with Paul Herygers' CX world title. Today, 30+ years and hundreds of medals later, the Belgian Blue symbolizes this unstoppable alliance.
2026.
From our cutting-edge ProtoLab, where we develop tomorrow's innovations, to our precision facilities in Europe and Colombia, we craft the future of speedwear. Supporting historic achievements like Ganna's World Hour Record, Evenepoel's Olympic double, and Kopecky's back-to-back rainbow stripes, we strive to bring the same championship-winning innovation to every cyclist's wardrobe.
