Mongoose (bicycles)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mongoose is a brand name of performance bicycles designed, manufactured, and sold by Pacific Cycle, a subsidiary of Dorel Industries. They produce several models of BMX, mountain bikes, and street bicycles, making ample use of light weight alloys and magnesium. They are based in Madison, Wisconsin.

The company was founded in southern California in 1974, with a single product, cast magnesium wheels. They have since expanded to developing a wide range of bikes and performance parts, as well as skateboards, and electric scooters. They are heavily involved in professional bicycle events, and sponsor many riders (such as Eric Rupe) in various competitions, including the X Games and the Dew Action Sports Tour.
