The Boyd Story
The Boyd Story: I get the question all the time, “What made you decide to start making wheels?” – Boyd Cycling
“I have been fortunate enough to have been riding and racing my bike most of my life. I started racing when I was 13, and by the time I was 18 I was traveling around the country racing. As I kept going I was fortunate enough to be sponsored by many different wheel companies, and had a chance to race pretty much every major option out there. I saw what made wheels good, what made them not so good, and what we could do different. In 2009 I was finishing up my final season on a professional team and the timing was perfect to launch this company.”
“At the start we were selling bike frames, wheels, handlebars, and bottle cages. Very quickly the wheels started gaining traction and that’s when we made the decision to focus on the wheels and make the best possible quality wheels out there.”
