Crankbrothers

Born in a Laguna Beach garage, Crankbrothers was founded by two design engineers and passionate riders, Carl Winefordner and Frank Hermansen, with one simple goal: to solve real problems on the trail through functional and designed products. 

Starting with the Speed Lever in 1997 and redefining clip-in pedals with the iconic Eggbeater, Crankbrothers quickly became known for minimalist innovation and rider-focused solutions. Today, Crankbrothers is trusted for high-performance pedals, wheels, dropper posts, pumps, and tools.

Driven by feedback from the trail and engineered for performance, every Crankbrothers product is designed with one goal in mind: to make every ride better than the last.
