Our story
Built with
soul.
Montu is a Canadian cycling brand born from a love of riding, a respect for design, and two cultures that shaped how we see the world.
Founded by
Hani & KatharineA little about
us.
Montu is a Canadian business started by husband and wife Hani & Katharine in 2021, in Arnprior, Ontario. We created Montu to bring some soul into the world of bicycles and technical cycling apparel.
We make products that reflect who we are and what we want: to enjoy the freedom of cycling and to celebrate the growing geographical and cultural diversity of endurance sports. Montu is a Canadian company with roots in Egypt — our design philosophy showcases the cultural and historical influences that make us who we are.
'Montu' is an ancient Egyptian God signifying strength, courage and victory.

Our guiding
principles.
Form & Function
The Ancient Egyptians believed everything had a unique character known as "Ba." All our products are developed with the central principle of building a unique Ba — balancing aesthetics and functional features that make for gear guaranteed to please, from local club rides to epic bikepacking trips.
Rider-designed
We are endurance sports enthusiasts with experience across cycling and running disciplines. We approach product development with a keen eye for what we'd actually want to use, ride, and wear. We take pride in using our own products in our athletic pursuits.
Cultural Diversity
We come from diverse cultural backgrounds and have been fortunate to ride and run in many parts of the world. We aim to make Montu gear that celebrates the cultural richness of endurance sports and the communities that embrace them.
Strength, courage
& victory.
Montu is an ancient Egyptian God of war, strength, and valor — the ideal embodiment of what every athlete strives for on the road, gravel, or trail.
As a Canadian company with roots in Egypt, we draw on the best of both worlds: the precision and craftsmanship of the West, and the rich heritage of the East; one that prizes beauty, function, and meaning in equal measure.
When you wear Montu or ride a Montu bike, you carry a piece of that story with you.
