We’ve carefully curated a selection of some of our favorite local component and gear manufacturers, highlighting the incredible craftsmanship and innovation coming out of the Pacific Northwest. These companies not only deliver top-tier products but are deeply embedded in the biking community, contributing to the local economy and sustainability efforts. From Tenet’s precision-machined components to High Above's rugged, versatile packs, and Ground Keeper's custom frame protection and fenders, each brand embodies a commitment to quality and performance that aligns with the spirit of the trails. Here's a closer look at some standout pieces that truly reflect the heart of our riding culture.

Tenet Nora 35 V2 Stem

Based just a few blocks from our own storefront in Bellingham, WA, Tenet Components is one of the only component manufacturers producing products right here in town. Their Nora 35 V2 stem is CNC’d in-house from North American-sourced 6061-T6 aluminum and is available in a variety of colors. The Nora V2 utilizes a 35mm diameter clamp with a 40mm stack height with zero rise. Tenet has created this stem with modern geometry and shorter offset forks in mind, and it is available in lengths of 32mm, 37mm, and 42mm. Much like their Bellingham-made Omen V2 pedals, the Nora stem is aesthetically pleasing, featuring precisely CNC lines and chamfered edges.

"Producing components as close to home as we can is important to us. Knowing we’re contributing to our local economy while simultaneously cutting down on our emissions created through transportation makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside—and you should too. By supporting Tenet, you’re also supporting the machine shop that produces our parts. By supporting that shop, you’re helping employ mountain bikers, trail builders, and other valuable members of our community.With their help, we’re committed to more sustainably produced products—it’s a good time to ride Tenet.” - Tenet
