Mountain biking is built on great products, great trails, and the people who care enough to keep both moving forward. Trail One exists right in the middle of that.

There are plenty of component brands in the bike world, but we felt there was room for one that cared just as much about the story and impact behind the product as the product itself. We wanted Trail One to feel personal. A brand built by riders, mechanics, product nerds, engineers, and people who have spent their lives obsessing over bikes and the trails we ride them on.

The product side matters deeply. We want the bars to feel right, the grips to be comfortable, the stems to look clean, the pedals to grip hard, and the wheels to hold up when the trail gets rough. Every detail should have a reason to exist.

The giveback side matters just as much. Trails do not build or maintain themselves. They take time, money, tools, volunteers, advocacy, and dedicated local organizations doing the work long after the ride is over. Trail One is our way of connecting the products riders buy with the trails those riders love.

Buy better parts. Support better trails. That is the whole idea.

Trail One was started by Jeff Cayley and Liam Woods, along with engineer Colm O’Kane, as a way to build the mountain bike components they truly wanted to ride while giving back to the trail networks that make the sport possible.

Jeff Cayley brings years of experience from building Worldwide Cyclery and spending his career around mountain bikes, riders, products, and the bike industry as a whole. That background helped shape Trail One into a brand focused on quality, customer experience, and products that actually make sense for real riders.

Liam Woods brings the mechanic brain, product obsession, and behind-the-scenes execution that helps keep Trail One moving. From wrenching on high-end bikes to obsessing over how parts look, feel, fit, and function, Liam helps make sure the details are right and the products are something riders would actually want to put on their own builds.

Colm O’Kane is the engineering mind behind many of the details that make Trail One products more than just good-looking parts. With experience both inside and outside the bike industry, including time working on components at Race Face, Colm helps turn ideas into products that can be tested, trusted, and ridden hard.

Together, the goal is not to be the biggest component brand in mountain biking. The goal is to make products we are proud of, support trails in a meaningful way, and build a brand that riders can feel good about supporting.

Trail One started with rider-focused components and has grown into a full lineup of cockpit parts, pedals, wheels, saddles, and accessories made for modern mountain bikes.

The cockpit lineup includes the Crockett Carbon and Alloy Handlebars, built around a comfortable, proven shape with modern width, rise, backsweep, and upsweep options. Paired with the Rockville Stem, riders can build a clean, strong, and dialed cockpit that looks as good as it performs. The Rockville is machined in California, available in multiple lengths and colors, and built with the kind of detail that makes a simple part feel special.

Trail One grips are designed around comfort, control, and different rider preferences. The Hell’s Gate Grips offer a cushioned, supportive feel with palm pads and finger traction. The Farlow Gap Grips take a thinner approach for riders who want a more traditional diameter.

For pedals, Trail One offers both composite and alloy options. The Vortex Composite Pedals deliver serious grip, durability, and serviceability at an approachable level. The Sage Alloy Pedals take things up a notch with a forged and CNC-machined aluminum body, sealed bearings, replaceable pins, and a fully rebuildable design made to last.

The wheel lineup is built around the Shed Rim, a downhill and e-bike rated alloy rim designed for rough trails, square-edge hits, and real-world abuse. The Shed is available as a rim or complete wheelset, with multiple hub options, DT Swiss spokes, and a build philosophy focused on strength, ride feel, and long-term reliability.

Trail One also offers saddles and small parts that complete the build without overcomplicating it. From the Saxon Hill and Sheep Thrills saddles to seatpost clamps, tubeless valve stems, top caps, spacer kits, titanium bolts, fenders, bottles, and other accessories, the goal stays the same: clean design, reliable function, and a product that gives back.

Every Trail One component exists to make your bike better and help support the trails we all love.
