Race Face ends production

For 18 years of its existence, component manufacturer Race Face has been an integral part of the mountain bike supplier scene. The manufacturer currently supports riders such as Wade Simmons, Brett Tipie and Paul Basagoitia, and is now set to cease operations.

So far there has been no official statement from Race Face, based in New Westminster, British Columbia/Canada. However, news of the company's closure is spreading like wildfire via Twitter, Facebook and websites. For example, the portal BikeBiz or Pinkbike reported on the end of Race Face.

With its headquarters located right next to the legendary North Shore Mountains, Race Face had developed numerous components for North Shore riding and promoted this type of mountain biking. The components are currently sold in over 45 countries.
