Harm Giesen, the founder of Absolute Cycling, is the driving force behind our innovative approach. An industrial designer by training and a passionate cyclist at heart, Harm’s vision is to create cycling technology that serves the cyclist, not the other way around.
Harm’s journey began with a simple yet profound insight: cyclists needed a device that would provide accurate data without disrupting their focus and enjoyment. Dissatisfied with the existing products on the market, he set out to create a solution that would address these shortcomings.
Under Harm’s leadership, Absolute Cycling has grown from a bold idea into a company that challenges industry standards. His dedication to product excellence and user-centric design has earned Absolute Cycling a reputation for innovation and quality.

Sensor Fusion
Our advanced sensor fusion technology offers a hybrid approach to precision, combining GNSS (GPS, Galileo, Glonass), gyroscope, magnetometer and barometer data. Designed to understand cyclist-specific movements, the system can filter out non-cyclist motions. During a ride, it dynamically leverages different sensors ensuring reliable performance even in challenging environments.
Absolute Altitude Technology
Powered by our sensor fusion algorithm, it delivers unmatched precision in real-time gradient and altitude tracking. Cyclists can trust AAT for reliable elevation insights, ensuring confidence and control on any terrain.
Absolute Positioning Technology
Leverages sensor fusion and awareness of your cycling movements to provide precise direction, speed, and position data. With APT, cyclists enjoy accurate tracking in all conditions, ensuring confidence in every ride.

Design
From concept to reality
Not your average plastic device
At Absolute Cycling, we are proud of our design team and the innovative product we create. Our commitment to excellence and our focus on the user experience drive us to push the boundaries of what is possible in cycling technology.
When Harm Giesen came up with the ideation of The One, he wanted a world-class design for it. Made by the best designers possible. And as a fan of Bang & Olufsen, he came in contact with Valeur Designers – longtime design partner of B&O. A brand with the same passion for minimalistic yet very appealing and functional design. So Harm set foot in Denmark to let the designers create a magical masterpiece.
The One is both beautiful and built to last. We use high-quality materials like the aluminum cover to ensure that our product is lightweight, durable and very stylish.

Display
Brighten up your day
The One features the top display on the market, with adaptive brightness that adjusts to your environment. Customize your metric screens to showcase your data as large as you want, making it easy to see everything at a glance.

The best display on the market
We’ve equipped The One with the best display on the market. Our screen is designed to deliver superior readability, intuitive interaction and unmatched performance, ensuring you have all the information you need right at your fingertips.
The One features a 3.1-inch full-color display with a high resolution of 800 by 480 pixels and over 300 pixels per inch (PPI). This ensures that every piece of data is rendered crisply and clearly, making it easy to read at a glance.
Cycling often means dealing with varying lighting conditions, from bright sunlight to shaded trails. The One’s display is equipped with an anti-glare coating, ensuring that your screen remains readable in all conditions. This feature significantly reduces reflections and glare, allowing you to see your data clearly without having to squint or adjust your position.
No touchscreen. No problem.
A touchscreen is much more energy consuming. And in our philosophy, it does not give the best user experience while riding, as a touchscreen is hard to control in the rain or with long finger gloves.
So for simple navigation: three physical buttons for easy control.
