A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER:

My journey in the bicycle industry started on 1987, distributing other Bicycle brands.

This inspired me to build a different type of Bicycle Company that is focused on the customer and not focused on Pro Teams. To develop a sustainable business by doing good in this world without charging a premium for our Bikes. To put our money into making the product better and offering more for less.

“where the Customer is the Real Hero!”
