Why we
built this

Cycling has always had a hierarchy. Teams, tactics, riders who win by hiding in the wheels. We love the sport, but we wanted something purer — a contest where there's nowhere to sit in, no one to do your work, and no excuses.

So we built it. Two riders, one event, watts per kilo, a community and a crowd. The result is equal parts race and fight night — and it's the most honest test we know.

The Vision

We start in London. Then a global series. Then we crown a world champion.

The format is simple enough to travel anywhere there's a coffee shop, a trainer, and someone who thinks they're the strongest in the room. This is just the beginning.

What we stand for

Pure power

No drafting. No tactics. No excuses. Your FTP divided by your body weight is the only number that counts.

All abilities welcome

Whether you're a seasoned racer, a weekend warrior or just looking to take part, the w/kg format means you compete on equal terms with everyone in your category.

Community first

We're building a community of riders who love the sport for what it is, hard work, honest effort, and the satisfaction of knowing exactly where you stand.

Transparent format

Every rule, every category, every scoring method is published openly. You know exactly what you're signing up for before you clip in.
