Namibia has reached another milestone in innovation with the unveiling of what is believed to be Africa’s first 32-inch gravel bicycle, a locally designed and hand-built machine that is drawing international attention for its engineering and craftsmanship.
The bicycle, produced by Onguza Bicycles in Omaruru, was developed for Namibian endurance cyclist Martin Freyer with the support of King Price Insurance Namibia.
It was officially launched in Windhoek by Onguza founder and two-time Olympian Dan Craven, alongside King Price Namibia Chief Executive Officer Braam Vermeulen. Featuring oversized 32-inch wheels and a handcrafted steel frame, the bicycle was designed specifically to tackle Namibia’s rugged gravel roads.
