Crafted in the Pyrenees. Driven by Precision. From Béarn to Borau, a cycling legacy reborn.

A Century of Cycling Spirit.

Royal Asport was born in 1911 in Oloron Sainte-Marie, under the shadow of the Pyrenees. Its roots run deeper, across the border into Aragon, where Orosia - mother of five - crossed the mountains on foot in 1892, settling near Pau. Among her children was a young stonecutter with fire in his legs: Josemaria Javierre Rapún, better known as Joseph Habierre.

In 1909 and 1910, Joseph rode the Tour de France as an “Isolé”- an independent, unsupported rider. Henri Desgrange himself called him back for 1911. But Joseph declined. He had just opened his own cycle shop in Oloron.

That shop became Royal Asport. From building early racing machines to supplying the legendary KAS team in the 1960s - and later transforming into Regina Sport - Royal Asport always built with purpose.

Today, over a century later, we carry the flame. With modern tools. In a new atelier. And with the same Pyrenean soul.

We do business as unusual

Royal Asport Cycleworks doesn’t chase trends, nor hide behind heritage.

We design and assemble bicycles like architects design homes: precisely, intentionally, intelligently. No unnecessary flourishes. No gimmicks. Just purpose, fit, and performance.

Our frames are not “lightweight”- they’re appropriate. Our builds are not “vintage” - they’re timeless. Our story is not nostalgic - it’s alive, and evolving.

Because cycling, for us, is not a fashion. It’s a craft.

Precision by People.

Behind every Royal Asport bicycle is a network of makers, each with their own signature, skills, and spirit.

Vincenzo Forgione, Italy – master of steel and carbon tube-to-tube constructions. Timeless precision, born from decades of artisanal experience.
Daniel Hanart, Paris – our aluminium builder. A new voice in Royal Asport bikes, blending engineering clarity with racing discipline.
Daniel Planas, Pau – restorer of legends. His hands revive heritage frames with respect and finesse.
Rodeo Adventure Labs, USA – our technical partner for carbon and titanium monocoque framesets, built ready-to-ride.
Royal Asport Studio, Pyrenees – where each geometry is drawn, each build spec designed, each bicycle imagined.

These aren’t subcontractors. They’re part of the family.

Our Team.

Our Manifesto.

Royal Asport Cycleworks is more than a brand. It’s a purpose built on friendship, legacy, and terrain.

We are Marc Duchesne and Diego Camarero - French and Spanish, designers and riders, united by a lifelong passion for cycling and the Pyrenees. In 2020, we made a promise: not just to revive a name, but to honor the legacy of Joseph Habierre and the land that shaped him.

Our ambition goes far beyond crafting bicycles.
We are building a sustainable ecosystem rooted in the Western Pyrenees - one that values precision, passion, and place.

To do this, we:

Design and assemble bespoke bicycles in Borau, Aragon.

Organize meaningful rides and events across Béarn, Aragon, and beyond - to celebrate this land by riding it.

Guide cyclists on custom adventures in the Pyrenees - connecting landscape, culture, and sport.

Create value with and for the people of the Pyrenees - through workshops, partnerships, and shared goals.

This is not a project. This is our way of life.
And if it resonates with you, you may already be part of it.

The New Royal Asport Cycleworks

Rebuilt from the ground up, Royal Asport Cycleworks now operates across the Pyrenees: from our heritage cradle in Béarn to our design studio & workshop in Borau, Aragon - and our trusted service partner in Jaca, the Jorry Bike Center.

Our approach is modular yet personal. We offer three main experiences:
