Alpinestars USA has a simple vision: to build the best off-road mountain bike product in the world. We’ve learned one great lesson in our 28 years of building winning performance equipment for the world’s best off-road champions: you never make the best unless you get the best to help you. This is what mountain bike action said about two key members of our team: “The difference is in the men Alpinestars USA hired to design the bikes. Bill Stevenson and Roger Malinowski were two of the top dogs at Fisher Mountain Bikes years ago. They have been designing and spec’ing mountain bikes for years, and they represent some of the slickest technical minds in the industry. It’s hands-on experience like Stevenson’s 15 years as a master designer and craftsman of custom racing frames, complimented by Malinowski’s 10 years of racing experience and race team management which prompted such recognition. This background of firsthand experience gave Stevenson the insight to understand the conventional frames limitations and crystallise his vision of the ultimate mountain bike. No design team is complete without a professional test pilot. And there’s none better than Mike Kloser, who tested our Alpinestars designs while en route to silver medals in the Grundig World Cup Series and the Downhill World Championships.
