WTB was founded in Marin County, California in 1982. Driven by the need to create durable and reliable equipment for mountain bikes. At the time, mountain biking was a new and booming sport. The original WTB team was captivated by their first off-road rides, and they began creating more durable and functional components for their own bikes. Then, local builders started equipping their bikes with WTB's premium components. WTB was able to transform its passion for bikes into a thriving business.
Today, WTB is a global company. Their innovative components are used throughout the world. After 30 years, things have changed a bit here at WTB: the small garage has transformed into a proper office and the components we manufacture have evolved to meet the needs of today's cyclists and riders. What hasn't changed is our passion for cycling and our commitment to providing the cycling community with durable, reliable and high-performance components.
