The products BUDS -SPORTS products were born from a simple idea: to allow every cyclist to transport their bike more easily, more confidently, and with a real level of protection. Whether it's for a holiday, a race, a training camp, or a business trip, transport is often the moment when everything can go wrong: unexpected impact, poorly secured bike, overly long assembly, unnecessary stress.
That is precisely why we are proud to announce our partnership with the COFIDIS Team World Tour .
1. Our project with Cofidis: a natural partnership
We partner with Cofidis because they experience, on a daily basis, exactly what we seek to master: transporting bicycles in real, repeated, demanding conditions .
Constant movement, bikes constantly being handled, timing constraints, the imperative of reliability… their reality highlights every detail that matters: protection, stability, ease of installation, resistance over time.
For us, this is our specialty. Cofidis therefore becomes a natural partner: a direct point of contact with the field, and a source of valuable feedback to continue improving our solutions.
2. What we will build together
1) Concrete technical exchanges
The heart of the partnership is the product. With the riders, mechanics, and staff, we will be working on very practical matters:
- protection against shocks and friction
- speed of implementation
- handling and repeatability (again and again, without "dumb" wear and tear)
- ease of use and intuitive settings
- optimization of daily transport
The goal: to identify what can be improved, then to evolve our solutions in a tangible way.
2) Content that is closer to reality
We will regularly share behind-the-scenes stories and feedback on bicycle transport and logistics: what happens before a race, how the equipment is prepared, how time is saved, how risk is limited.
No jargon, no forced storytelling: just concrete, useful, accessible content.
3) A highlight: the 2026 Tour de France in Carcassonne
The 2026 Tour de France, and in particular the stage in Carcassonne , where our offices and logistics center are located, will be a key step in this collaboration. It will be an opportunity to document the reality on the ground, to exchange ideas with the team, and to share with you what we learn from the action itself.
3. Welcome to this new stage
This partnership marks a new phase for BUDS : closer to the ground, more connected to real performance, and always focused on the same promise: traveling with your bike without stress.
We can't wait to show you what's next!
