Wherever you ride, whatever you ride, ditch the rulebook and let's ride together

In 1971, the cycling market was still very traditional – a place where rules triumphed over innovation. Our founders believed there had to be a better way. So we ditched the rulebook, cut a new path and created a new approach.

From a Connecticut workshop, we set about revolutionizing cycling for the better. For everyone. We assumed nothing, we iterated and reiterated, and from day one we’ve worked on pioneering materials, ergonomics and technology. And we haven’t looked back since.

We heralded aluminum and carbon-fiber manufacturing while the rest stuck with steel. We shook up the suspension establishment with single-sided forks, designing incredible frames and products that reinvented racing, and creating award-winning bicycles that helped push people further.

People have called us crazy, ridiculous, and worse. And yet, right from the outset, we knew that what we were doing not only felt exciting – it also felt right.

This passion continues to fuel our never-ending drive to make iconic bicycles that just work better. Bicycles that make your ride better. Wherever you ride, whatever you ride, ditch the rulebook and let’s ride together.

Come ride with us.
