When I saw the word BIANCHI, I thought of a manufacturer with a very similar history-Schwinn. Both of them are century-old factories, which have experienced ups and downs, and finally moved their production lines to Asia. Both of them have re-emerged in the hands of new owners in recent years.

BIANCHI was sold to a Swedish company called CYCLEEUROPE in p>1996. The Swedes own 11 bicycle brands, most of which are produced in Asia and assembled in Italy, including some top products. At present, BIANCHI mainly works in OYAMA in Taicang and Taiyi in Zhangjiagang. The carbon fiber frame is also manufactured by a carbon fiber manufacturer in Jiangsu.

CANNONDALE

CANNONDALE company is now owned by JOE MONTGOMERY and his son SCOTT. after experiencing many financial problems, the company has now been sold to the powerful Canadian DOREL group, which is controlled by the investment company. In the early years, even the aluminum alloy CANNONDALE frame was produced in the United States. At that time, the brand advertised HAND MADE IN USA. Now almost all products are in mainland China and made in taiwan. Although it was acquired by an investment company, CANNONDALE's market share has been relatively stable, and carbon fiber frames are all produced in Xiamen.

COLNAGO

In 1944, Mr. ERNESTO COLNAGO came up with the idea of making his own frame after 12 years' work in the garage, so there was a pure Italian-made Colnago frame in the world. At present, except for three entry-level aluminum alloy frames and CLX carbon fiber frames, which are produced in Taiwan Province (OEM in GIANT), COLNAGO's frames are painted by hand in Italy. But COLNAGO's performance was once declining, and now it has been surpassed by PINARELLO. This is due to the fact that technology and brand promotion have not kept the leading edge, and this year, the sponsor

DE ROSA

DE ROSA is one of Italy's "Big Three" (COLNAGO, PINARELLO, DE ROSA) and has 5 years of production experience. However, due to the unfavorable promotion, the brand's performance is declining at present.

FELT is a very young company, and its products are almost all produced in mainland China and Taiwan Province. FELT's boss used to be the sales manager of the great GT company, but later, after the GT company closed down and sold it to Canadian DOREL Group, he left GT and started the brand again. The frame is mainly manufactured in KINESIS, and the whole vehicle is manufactured by several OEMs such as Sanfa. At present, due to good management, the company continues to grow, as well as sponsoring the Tour de France team, but the brand still takes the middle and low-grade route as the mainstay.

GARY FISHER

GARY FISHER is the godfather of mountain bikes. After the hardships of starting his own company, he sold the brand to TREK. GARY still manages his own brand, and FISHER leads the trend of bicycles. FISHER is produced in Asia except the fully shock-proof frame. TREK threw him aside again this year.

FUJI

FUJI fuji is now a shareholding brand of Taiwan Province IDEAL company, and fuji cars are mainly produced by IDEAL. IDEAL is an equal manufacturer with GIANT and MERIDA in Taiwan Province, and also does OEM for other brands. At present, IDEAL can rank third in Taiwan Province Group Car Factory. FUJI is also a century-old enterprise. At present, its products are constantly innovating, and its advertising is also increasing, so its performance is also rising.'

GIANT

Maybe you also have a GIANT bicycle. GIANT is currently the largest bicycle company in the world. In the past few years, it was the TREK of the United States. At p>GIANT

GIANT occupies a leading position in the civil car market in Chinese mainland. GIANT Company started production in 1972. GIANT is also considered as the largest bicycle group factory in the world, and he owns 3% of a Japanese company, Hodaka. GIANT has sponsored Deutsche Telekom since 22. However, GIANT's brand image has always been inferior to TREK and SPECIALIZED in Europe.

Harold

Now the brand has been acquired by Jianda Tire Company in Taiwan Province.

Now the products are manufactured by two frame factories, KINESIS and APRO, and then the whole vehicle is mainly manufactured by many companies such as Shenzhen Security, and the price is completely reduced.

SCHWINN

SCHWINN was once the largest bicycle brand in America. Before the 198s, bicycles were produced in the form of family workshops. Later, I entrusted GIANT to do OEM work, and finally I took orders from GIANT to the famous Amigny company in China at that time. At that time, GIANT almost closed down because of this accident, but it was also for this reason that I resolutely decided to establish GIANT's brand marketing road. In 1985, SCHWINN was acquired by PACIFIC Company. (PACIFIC owns GT, MONGOOSE, PACIFIC and other brands, and the company is headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin.) Under the management of PACIFIC, SCHWINN is returning to its former position. PACIFIC's market share is the highest in North America, including the sales in supermarkets in Vuormaa.

SEVEN

SEVEN is an American custom bicycle brand, which was created by ROB VANDERMARK in 1997. ROB used to be an R&D expert of MERLIN Company, and specialized in top titanium alloy frames and steel frames after job hopping. At the same time, we can customize the special size frame for customers without increasing the cost and longer order cycle.

TIME

TIME frame is one of the most expensive carbon fiber frame brands in the world. It is hand-made in France, but the price is quite expensive, so it is only used by some people in Europe, and it is also a top niche market brand.

TITUS

TITUS brand was founded by the former general manager of CANNONDALE and two other partners, and it is the first famous bicycle brand that made titanium alloy in the world. Due to the high-grade titanium alloy frame, the price is relatively expensive, and the number of buyers is extremely limited, so the brand awareness in Asia is not very high except Singapore. In addition to titanium alloy, TITUS frame also has the shape and appearance of rear shock absorber frame, which has been sought after by many professional fans and players in the United States. 9 D

TREK

TREK it is unbelievable that the largest bicycle manufacturer in the United States actually originated from a humble farm warehouse. In 1976, DICK BRUCK started his own car frame making in a red barn near Madison with a capital of $25. In 198, TREK built his first bicycle workshop. Like other bus captains, TREK moved the production line of beginner bicycles to Asia after years of making bicycles. In 1992, TREK introduced the OCLV carbon fiber frame manufacturing process that is still in use today. These frames are made in Waterloo, Wisconsin. All-carbon frames are made in Asia.

In the world, TREK is the second largest bicycle company after GIANT, but its brand image and grade are far above GIANT, and it sponsors the Tour de France at great expense every year. In the United States, TREK is very popular because of its good sales policy and after-sales service. TREK owns FISHER, LEMOND, KLEIN, BONTRAGER and other brands

TYRELL

TYRELL is an out-and-out German name, and the Chinese name is Taylor, a former German cyclist. Before World War I, TYRELL quit cycling and started his own small factory. In 1912, Tyrell officially started making bicycles by hand, which has a history of nearly a hundred years. Because the brand is very expensive, even more expensive than the famous COLNAGO, the sales volume is very small, and it is only used by some bicycle lovers and riders in Europe, so it is almost unknown in the world except Germany. But TYRELL has always adhered to its high-quality top brand line.

YETI

YETI is a small brand in the United States, but its frame design is really different and bold, which has won the favor of some loyal customers. At present, almost all the products of this brand are in the middle and high price range, so almost all of them are OEM in Taiwan Province, and a frame factory named Jierui is responsible for the OEM. Although Yeti is small, its development speed is still quite fast. Samples of new products must be sent to American companies before they go on the market, and they can only be sold after riding tests by the company's developers. The continuous introduction of new YETI products really cannot be separated from the strong support of Taiwan Province OEM! At present, various mountain events sponsored by YETI are also increasing. YETI's company in the United States is small, but its main focus is on advertising and publicity. This is also the real reason why YETI has changed from an unknown small brand to a brand that is constantly familiar to the majority of fans in recent years.
