Explore the Upside

There is not one ounce of excess weight on our bikes. Every inch of tubing and every weld makes them remarkably stiff and efficient. With up to 5" of travel, our full-suspension bikes, hardtails and rigid-fork bikes are unbelievably smooth and fast - uphill, downhill or on the flats. Just point and pedal.

Our light bikes are not for lightweights.

All Brodie bikes are meant to be pushed well beyond normal limits - so when we build a light bike, we never comprimise on stiffness and fit of the tubing, or the dependability of its components. Perhaps it's from our history in hand building custom framesets from the original mountainbikers of the Pacific Northwest, but we don't like walking home. And we build our bikes accordingly.

We have continued to refine our full lineup of light bikes, adding SPV shocks to Sauce and an oil-damped fork to the Bandit. We've also reengineered the geometry of the Marathon Series, not that you'd be able to tell by looking at it. But out of the saddle, the benefit of its stiffer rear stays would become more obvious.

This year, we've also turned our attention to an area of riding so far neglected by modern technology. The los-tech cruiser has gotten the full-on upgrade, including disc brakes, a lightweight frame, low-maintenance chain guard, and internal hub gears in 3 & 8 - speed configurations. Allo told, it is designed to be a pleasure to ride.
