Crankbrothers bicycle components

Crankbrothers is a globally recognized brand specializing in high-performance mountain bike components, most famous for its 'Eggbeater' pedal system. Founded in 1997 in Laguna Beach, California, the company initially focused on innovative cycling tools and accessories before expanding into pedals, wheelsets, and dropper posts. The brand is celebrated for its minimalist design philosophy and engineering innovation that caters to both professional athletes and enthusiasts.

While the brand maintains its creative and design headquarters in the United States, its manufacturing is primarily centralized in Taiwan, a global hub for high-end bicycle production. This ensures that their technical products meet the rigorous quality standards required for competitive mountain biking. Ownership has evolved over the years to help the brand reach a broader international market.

Today, Crankbrothers is a key part of the Selle Royal Group, an Italian cycling conglomerate. This acquisition has allowed the brand to benefit from European logistics and distribution networks while maintaining its distinct Californian design identity. The brand remains a staple in the cross-country, enduro, and downhill cycling communities worldwide.
