We have been in the business of making bikes for over 45 years and while lots of things have changed over the years, we still make our bikes by hand. It was very much the intention of our founder Ike Tseng to improve the reputation and the quality of bikes ‘Made in Taiwan’, and that still remains the main objective for us today.
The undisputed love for everything bike and the constant desire to make ever better bikes drive our team in our R&D centre in Germany as well as in our factory in Taiwan forward. Every part of this chain has enormous pride in our product – from CEO, via our R&D and engineer teams all the way to the welder and assembling crew member who puts the final touches to each bike, before it gets distributed to one of our many national distributor

At Marin, we believe life is better with bikes. Our brand was born in a cycling mecca, and we ride the same trails and routes that bred mountain bikes and many of the most prolific and innovative brands in our sport. At 30+ years old, we continue to have the same childlike fascination and obsession with bikes that brought us to this industry.
We believe that bikes make us better people: healthier, more relaxed, and happier. It is our mission to get you on a bike, and to make sure that you have a good time doing it. To that end, we make a wide range of models, from exotic, full suspension, high tech rippers, to bike path cruisers. We’re committed to cycling’s wide range of disciplines. If you’re a hard-core mountain bike rider, or a casual cyclist, you’re like us and we’d like to go for a ride together.
At Kona, we're all about the freedom and empowerment of the bicycle. We have been since 1988. We still have the same founding owners. We're still populated by a staff of keen, active, impassioned cyclists. We're not big, nor are we that small. Just a dedicated group of cyclists making bicycles for people who love bikes-no matter if that love is new or long established. Kona is 50% US and 50% Canadian owned. It is an independent company; no one owns us and we don't own anything else. We design all of our bikes from the ground up and visit the factories that make our frames and components and assemble our bikes in Taiwan every month while they are being produced. Bikes these days are a virtual United Nations (we have parts on our bikes made in Canada, China, France, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, USA) so it is almost impossible to get even half the parts on a bike from one country now. It is great to support your home country but the most important thing for Kona is to make the best bikes we can because our bikes are ridden by serious riders all around the world who expect nothing short of perfection.

How do you make a bike easier to ride? To achieve this in our Neo bikes, we looked at several factors:
Weight - The lighter the bike, the easier it becomes to start moving, maintain speed, and stop. In addition to alloy frames and forks, we select lightweight alloy components as well.
Fit - If the bike doesn’t fit well, your child exerts extra energy to compensate. For example, we select narrow handlebars to align properly with the width and reach of a child’s arms. Creating the optimal riding position allows for comfortable riding and efficient pedaling.
