We are a small, independent bicycle manufacturer located in the Denver, Colorado. Founded in 2009, Wabi was founded on the following principles:

Build incredible bikes.

Wabi was started by fixed-gear expert Richard Snook, who had been driven by one mission: to bring the absolute best riding one-gear experience to cyclists with a combination of lightweight, high-quality frames and components.

Deliver elegant, efficient design.

In Japanese, Wabi means simple and functional, transcending fad or fashion. To us, the one-gear bike is the epitome of this concept: a beautifully simple, elegant and efficient machine.

Put the rider first.

Each bike is built to order from the frame up to accommodate most riders’ preferences. This means we tailor the sizing, colors and options to ensure you get the the bike you want. 

Support the community.

We strive to ensure that we support the one-gear community - be it our cycling advocacy efforts, sponsoring races or even just answering non-Wabi general cycling questions if you contact us.


We strive to hit these principles in everything we do. We hope you join us.

Thanks,

The Wabi Team.
