Trek bikes – the history

Trek is one of the market leading bike producers in the world. The brand has an impressive history. In 1976 the business was founded with 5 employees and just one product in their base in Waterloo, Wisconsin! Just ten years later Trek had developed so much that they began using carbon and aluminium in bike production. In 1988 Trek bikes heralded the coming of the new frame technology with the seven tube carbon 2500. 1989 saw Trek beginning the process of 'going global' and just a few years later, they signed the famous and successful professional cyclist Lance Armstrong. Back then neither Armstrong, nor Trek knew how successful they would both become.

Trek bikes – from one product to a market leading bike producer

Over the years Trek bikes went on to achieve success after success. Above all because the company has never stopped researching and investing in the development of their bikes. By keeping their finger on the pulse of today's society they continue to build bikes which fit the needs and requirements of their customers. For example, Trek was one of the first companies to recognise that cycling was not just a sport for men, and thus invested heavily in their much loved female line.
