We started making custom bikes and parts in our garage over 16 years ago. We were obsessed with making bikes better then, and we still are now. We live immersed in a two wheeled world and take it very seriously. This is the sort of fanatical approach Bontrager believe is necessary to come up with practical, creative designs, and luckily, it comes easy to us. At Bontrager we learn from both successes and mistakes. One thing is clear: Good bikes and parts don't come from following fads. Bike parts are tools, not fashion statements. It takes the right balance of analytical background, riding experience and common sense to make a part work better. And, we're happy to say that the stuff we've come up with over the years makes bikes better.
