URSUS | WHO WE ARE

URSUS, GENERATED BY INNOVATION.

All great stories start with a spark of passion moving an idea. Here’s how Ursus brand was born and evolved over the years.

To those who are not familiar, the Bull is a symbol of invincible strength, sacrifice and selflessness. It is a figure linked to the cycle of life: its sacrifice represents fertility, a blaze of fire from the sun entering the wet earth. Most ancient cultures associate the idea of the bull with power, an icon expressing the values shared by the Ursus brand.

Strength, perseverance and sacrifice are the prime ideals since our origin in 1967, when Sergio Ferronato and his brother Domenico first began to produce steel quick release for the saddle.
