The Journey of CeramicSpeed: Two Decades of Pioneering Excellence
CeramicSpeed is more than just a name in the cycling world; it's a story of passion, precision, and a drive for perfection. While the brand is widely recognized today for its oversized pulley systems, its roots stretch back to an incredible milestone in 1998. Founder Jacob Csizmadia set a world record by inline skating 505 kilometers in 24 hours using ceramic ball bearings. This was more than a personal achievement—it was a bold demonstration of the potential of ceramic bearings.
Fast forward to the year 2000, Csizmadia introduced ceramic bearings to professional cycling at the Tour de France, laying the foundation for CeramicSpeed's official launch in 2004. The brand quickly evolved, expanding into industrial applications by 2008 and gaining FDA certification in 2014, which allowed its products to be used in direct contact with food. More recently, in 2021, CeramicSpeed achieved ISO 9001 certification, solidifying its reputation for quality and innovation across industries.

Today, CeramicSpeed remains committed to its roots, hand-building its premium ceramic bearings in Holstebro, Denmark. The brand has grown significantly, with a global network that spans over 50 countries. This 20th Anniversary OSPW is not just a product—it's a symbol of the journey and the passion that continues to drive CeramicSpeed forward.

The Ultimate 20th Anniversary OSPW: A Collector's Dream
This limited edition 20th Anniversary OSPW is a masterpiece of engineering and design. Inside the presentation box, you'll find a mirrored anniversary logo accompanied by a 608 hybrid ceramic bearing, the very same type used in Csizmadia's record-breaking skates. It's a nod to CeramicSpeed's beginnings, a reminder of the milestone that set the brand on its path to redefining performance standards.
On the right side of the box, showcased against a mirror, lies the heart of this celebration: the OSPW RS. This anniversary edition features 3D-printed hollow titanium wheels coated with a sleek, Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) finish, offering both durability and a striking visual appeal. These wheels are set within an injection-molded cage, complete with hand-finished detailing, including a 20-year anniversary logo etched on the back and a subtle dark prism logo for an added touch of elegance. Available for both Shimano and SRAM drivetrains, this OSPW is designed to seamlessly integrate with your bike while making a bold statement.
