The Cycling Brand Pro & Community Reviews, Featured Products from Pedal Passion Bike Shop & Other useful Info
Magene (Qingdao Magene Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese cycling‑tech company that has evolved rapidly from sensors and trainers into a broad “smart cycling ecosystem” spanning GPS bike computers, power meters, radar tail lights, and carbon wheelsets (under the EXAR sub‑brand). The company’s hallmark is aggressive feature‑per‑dollar value: products often deliver capabilities that rival established Western incumbents at lower prices, with frequent firmware iteration via its apps (OnelapFit, Magene Utility) and tight integration across the lineup.
