The first and only professional cycling club
BEAT is built as a club to belong to.
Not a traditional cycling team that stands at a distance, but a professional cycling club where pros and members are part of the same thing.
Founded in 2016 as a sustainable alternative to sponsor-dependent teams: members are not spectators but active participants, and the professional team and the community share one identity and one ambition.

This is just the beginning
BEAT is not finished. Over the coming years we keep building — from the current UCI Continental Team toward a UCI ProTeam.
With one goal: to compete in the biggest races in the world. A professional team supported by a membership community is more durable than a traditional sponsorship structure.
