how a bike mount broke the mold and made a company.
F3 Cycling was formed in 2017 from a single product idea. Momentum was also formed and we were off to the races becoming a global brand with sales in over 50 countries. An incredible amount of blood, sweat and engineering went into the little marvel, aptly named FormMount™. Praised by the press. Licensed by Leyzne. Rated 5 stars by customers. The patented design proved to be instant game changer. We have since expanded our line of bike mounts each receiving every bit the attention to innovative detail. Where does F3 go from here? To the most imaginative of places furthering our pursuit of visionary cycling products.
Future forward.

How does cycling make your life better?
Choose a sport that you enjoy so that you will stick to it. Cycling is a that sport for me - fun, challenging and complimentary to other parts of life. It strikes a nice balance of family, non-cycling friends, work and fitness while being tough when that makes sense.
What is your favorite ride?
Specialized S-Works Epic MTB. The technology combined with the fun factor makes it an easy choice. My S Works Crux is the CX race fix ride, but MTB wins the “which bike today” question.

How does cycling make your life better?
I’ll take it a step further to say cycling also makes the lives of people in my life better. After a ride, I can make for some pretty good company. After a rainout, not so much.
What is your favorite ride?
That’s like being asked to pick your favorite child, but with a gun to the head as Christian Vande Velde would say, I’ll go with my F3 Edition OPEN U.P.P.E.R.

How does cycling make your life better?
My long racing career has spanned road, then MTB, and now cyclocross. The focus required to train and race requires me to have annual goals and organize my (otherwise cluttered) life. Then I also enjoy riding with family and friends – it’s just enjoyable to be out in nature with people you like.
What is your favorite ride?
I’ve owned over 20 different bikes, from friction shifting all the way to modern 1x12 drivetrains; steel, aluminum, Ti, and carbon frames. My current favorites are 2 identical Specialized Crux for CX racing. I love the handling in the grass and mud for CX, along with the flexibility to jump on gravel or road.
Formed In America.
We believe best in class products are made all over the world. We just didn't want to make our products all over the world. Yes, for the pride of keeping it close our hearts, but equally if not more importantly, close to our minds. We believe outsourced manufacturing can hinder creative process, and that thinking shouldn't stop when production starts. We believe innovating is advanced by freedom. Freedom to adapt on the fly to scrutinize every nuance. Test. Then scrutinize every nuance again. Those nuances are what it takes to create a product we can truly believe in.
made in part, by you.
FormMount™ was brought to life by Kickstarter, backed by hundreds of cyclists from around the world. Now with customers in the hundreds of thousands, we are even more humbled. Take a ride with us down memory lane to where our story began.
cycling makes life better.
We make things that make cycling better. Innovative things to enhance a ride. Nothing rivals the ride to free the mind, invigorate the body and warm soul.
Better the #RideWithF3
