After three and a half years of development, the time had come in June 2009: Holger and Carsten Katz started series production of their bikes with an encapsulated drive. The bike tinkerers from Uri presented a completely sealed drive unit with a 14-speed gearbox from Rohloff. The range included the "Alp" all-mountain fully, as well as the "Moos" marathon fully and the "Reif" touring bike.
At Eurobike 2010, Katz-Bikes presented an integrated luggage rack for the "Moos" fully and received a Eurobike Award for the system integration of a Supernova dynamo lighting system on the Uri bikes.

Now Holger Katz informs us that production of the bikes has been discontinued, but that a buyer is being sought. Talks are already underway with interested parties about selling the company. The brothers Holger and Carsten Katz are open to interested offers regarding the purchase of the company Katz Biking GmbH or its technology. The factory store in Altdorf is already closed and no more telephone, written or electronic inquiries will be answered. There are no more bikes for sale in the factory, reference is made to the dealer network, via this channel the last remaining pieces are still available.

For owners of a Katz bike, the Katz makers are working on a concept for the supply of spare parts, details of which will be available on the company's website as soon as possible.
