Novara (bicycles)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Novara headbadge consists of a lower case n in a circle.
Novara is the private label brand of bicycles and bicycle accessories sold by the American consumers’ cooperative REI. The brand was introduced in 1983 and is headquartered in Kent, Washington.[1] Novara bikes are designed in house but are manufactured by Fairly Bicycle Manufacturing, a company based in Taiwan; the bicycles are then finished by REI.[2]

The Novara brand is also used for REI's line of cycling clothing[3] and accessories.[4]
REI has settled out of court with several individuals claiming Novara bikes fell apart while they were in use, resulting in serious injuries. KOMO 4 News[5] has reported on these cases.
