Who we are

Vekta is a fusion
of powerful concepts

Vector symbolizes direction, magnitude and purpose. Like a vector, we guide athletes, focusing their efforts toward achieving their dreams.

Hecta comes from the Greek word for “hundred”, representing growth. At Vekta, we amplify potential and multiply performance.

The letter V stands for victory. It also denotes velocity, reflecting the determination athletes need to achieve their dreams.

All together, Vekta carries our promises: multiply potential and provide a clear path to big achievements to those who live and breathe endurance sports.
