Our Brand



Rooted in the rugged landscapes of Vancouver Island, Old Growth is a mountain bike component brand born from a deep respect for nature and the trails that connect us to it. We design and manufacture high-performance bike parts that push boundaries, just like the wilderness that inspires us. But we’re not just about making great gear; we’re committed to giving back. That’s why we dedicate 2% of every sale to preserving local trails and supporting the protection of old-growth forests. At Old Growth, we believe in cycling for a cause, where every ride contributes to the future of both the sport and the environment. Join us in building a sustainable future, one trail at a time.


Behind the Solutions-Chris Hancock



My love of two wheels started at a young age when I got my first dirt bike and began racing motocross. I started mountain biking as a teenager as training for motocross and that progressed to racing cross country, downhill, road and track cycling I was always on a bike.

Working in the bike industry has given me some amazing experiences over the years from working in small bike shops on Vancouver Island to making two free ride movies in the early 2000’s and more recently working as a mechanic for the Canadian national downhill team as a mechanic at selected World Cup races and several world championships. I also currently coach mountain biking for Gravity MTB in Cumberland. And have the privilege of working with some of the most talented young racers in Canada. Working in Europe at races allowed me to make many contacts in the industry and I made the decision to do something that makes a bigger impact.

When Edward from Ryan Link approached me, I asked him, “What do you need?” He said, “We already have excellent quality, competitive prices, and a vision driven by action. Now, we just need someone who truly understands bikes — that’s you, Chris.” So, I joined.

Let’s enjoy the ride while saving our wallets and this fragile planet.
