Insera Sena factory in Indonesia creates product for Scott There are new frontiers for manufacturing being explored in Thailand as Bangkok Cycle is building some Norco bikes and the Pt. The Taiwanese factories of Merida, Fairly and Hodaka produce bikes for Specialized, Kona, and Fuji. Taiwan, although not as large of a producer in numbers as China, is a technological leader.
These places produce bikes for us under the labels of Norco, Rocky Mountain, Marin, Iron Horse, and Brodie. China boasts the biggest factories with romantic names such as Boan, A-Pro, Sunrise, Kenstone, Kinesis, Ming Kao, Ideal and Giant. The Ideal bicycle company has one of its factories in Poland producing bikes for Scott. Some Bianchi bikes are still made in Italy too. Italy's Dedacciai factory does some bikes for Kona. Starting in the old country, Europe, there is the German factory of Villiger/Diamant producing bikes for Trek. Here is a short circumnavigation of the world of wheels. Here's a quote from about 5 years ago to illustrate the complicated world of bicycle factories: Now they are mostly made in Asia along with other bike brands. which made them different from other brands. A small number of bicycle factories produce the bicycles for many different brands.Ĭannondale used to be made in the U.S.A. how would they compare (component/build wise) to say a Trail SL 29er 2?Ĭomparing bike brands is exceedingly difficult. I've dug a bit into the Cannondale bikes.
so that could make it troublesome when to take it needs its maintenance) I can also get 10% off specialized in one specific store, but the shop is 25+ miles away from where I live. The Cannondale shop is right in my company's campus so that would make it easy when it needs maintenance. What cannondale bikes compare to those I mention or which should I get so that it would cost me around the same after the 20% discount? I could probably buy a better bike and pay the same, or just get a comparable bike and save some money.
but it turns out I have a 20% discount off cannondale bikes. Now I want to buy something that can be used for both commute and some trail, so I'm looking at CrossTrails and HardRock 29ers. I don't know much about bike parts, so I don't really know which make is better, So I hope you can help out here.Īs I said I don't really know how they are, but I've always had a thing for how Specialized bikes look.
