Koga designs new track bike: KOGA KINSEI

The KNWU, in cooperation with KOGA, TU Delft, Actiflow and Pontis Engineering, has worked hard on a new track bike. This track bike has more than proven itself, because several medals have already been won on this bike. The new name of the track bike has been created in a playful way. By letting KOGA fans come up with a new name for the track bike, they had a chance to win a complete trip to the Olympic Games of Tokyo. Out of more than 1,700 entries, a final choice was made. The proud Patrick De Roo came through an anagram of Geesink (who had won in 1964) to the name KOGA KINSEI. Freely translated that means: made for gold.


The Fire Manager of KOGA, Harald Troost, was one of the jury members who had the difficult choice to come to a good decision. In the end KOGA Kinsei was chosen because it sounds very good and the Japanese name has a very clear connection with Tokyo, where the Olympic Games will take place. Now it is up to the Dutch track cyclists to go for gold again!
