As many of you know, a very large portion of the BMX industry have their products made over in Taiwan. In the past, it used to be a sign of cheap products with less than stellar quality, but that has changed pretty drastically over the past decade. Although we love our Made in the USA products, we do know that a lot of products coming out of Taiwan are actually dialed and high quality. During a recent team trip to Taiwan, the GT BMX team had the chance to tour a factory that makes BMX bikes (and a number of other styles of bikes) to get a look at how it all comes together. Ride BMX tagged along for the trip and filmed a little behind the scenes look at what goes on in those factories. We don’t know about you, but we find this all interesting as hell. Check it!
“Have you ever wondered how those complete bikes get assembled and where and by who? Here’s an in-depth look at a reputable bicycle factory in Taiwan that we got to tour while on the road with the GT BMX squad… Complete with hyperbolic test chambers, moving conveyer belts, wheel building machines, and much much more. This shit is pretty nuts, but major shouts to all of the factory workers out there who keep up cruising in the streets! Thank you to Ben Ward and GT for making this happen.” – Ride BMX
