From the first MTB race in Switzerland to the most beautiful city bike 2007

MTB Cycletech has been prominently involved in the bike business since the first MTB races in Switzerland - thanks to Butch Gaudy's guts to do his own thing instead of chasing all the short-lived trends.

The current series of mountain bikes by MTB Cycletech are the result of more 25 years of careful optimization, while year after year the competitors claim to have just found the holy grail of suspension kinematics or invented the single speed bike. No wonder the models «Shockbuster» as well as the «Opium» seem mature and thought out - and are instantly recognizable as MTB Cycletech products, even if they lack the oversized decal branding.

The same goes for the daily-use models: Whether we're talking about the «Oxymoron» or the «Papalagi», Butch Gaudy trusts his own experience and instinctively designs bikes that are a perfect fit for their intended jobs - be that a trip to the store down the street or a trip around the world. Because the best ideas get developed hitting the pedals, nose in the wind, and not in front of a computer screen.
