Race Face Performance Products

Race Face Performance Products, established in Vancouver, Canada, is renowned for designing and manufacturing high-performance mountain bike components, including cranks, bars, stems, seat posts, apparel, accessories, and protective gear. In 2011, the company faced financial challenges and was acquired by Chris Tutton and a private equity group, leading to its resurgence. In 2014, Fox Factory Holding Corp., a U.S.-based company specializing in high-performance suspension products, acquired Race Face Performance Products Ltd. and Easton Cycling for approximately $30.2 million. This acquisition expanded Fox's product portfolio to include a comprehensive range of bicycle components, enhancing its presence in the cycling industry. Operations for Race Face remained in Vancouver, British Columbia, with Chris Tutton continuing as president. The acquisition allowed Race Face to leverage Fox's global marketing, engineering, distribution, and supply chain resources, facilitating faster innovation and growth in the high-performance bicycle component market.
