BUDS-SPORTS products were built around a simple idea: help every cyclist transport their bike more easily, more confidently, and with real protection. Whether it’s for a vacation, a race, a training camp, or a work trip, transport is often the moment when everything can go wrong: an unexpected impact, a poorly secured bike, a setup that takes too long, unnecessary stress.
That’s exactly why we’re proud to announce our partnership with the COFIDIS Team World Tour.
1. Our project with Cofidis: a natural fit
We’re partnering with Cofidis because they experience—every single day—exactly what we aim to master: bike transport in real, repeated, demanding conditions.
Constant travel, bikes handled nonstop, tight schedules, a zero-compromise need for reliability… their day-to-day highlights every detail that matters: protection, stability, ease of setup, and long-term durability.
That’s our specialty. Cofidis is therefore a natural partner: a direct link to the realities of the field, and a valuable source of feedback to keep improving our solutions.
2. What we’re building together
1) Practical, technical collaboration
At the core of this partnership is the product. Together with the riders, mechanics, and staff, we’ll work on very concrete topics:
- protection against impacts and rubbing
- quick, efficient setup
- handling and repeatability (again and again, without “unnecessary” wear)
- ease of use and intuitive adjustments
- day-to-day transport optimization
The goal: identify what can be improved, then evolve our solutions in a tangible, measurable way.
2) Content that stays close to real life
We’ll regularly share behind-the-scenes insights and feedback around bike transport and team logistics: what happens before a race, how equipment is prepared, how time is saved, how risks are reduced.
No jargon, no forced storytelling—just practical, useful, accessible content.
3) A key moment: Tour de France 2026 in Carcassonne
The 2026 Tour de France—and especially the stage in Carcassonne, where our offices and logistics center are based—will be a major milestone in this collaboration. It will be an opportunity to document the reality on the ground, exchange with the team, and share what we learn as close to the action as possible.
3. Welcome to this new chapter
This partnership marks a new phase for BUDS: closer to the field, more connected to real-world performance, and still driven by the same promise—travel with your bike, stress-free.
We can’t wait to show you what’s next!
