ENVE Composites started in a corner of a building that belonged to a dune buggy company. The two cousins who owned it had put up the money for the bike business, and it grew until it pushed their dune buggies out. ENVE still molds its carbon rims in Ogden, and it is one of 14 bike brands in our directory as of October 13, 2026. Six of the 14 carry our made in Utah tag. The others are run from here or keep an American office here, and one packed up and left after it started here. This guide sorts them by what they make and says which is which.
Quick answers
Where are ENVE wheels made?
In Ogden, Utah. The company says all of its rims have always been made there, and its engineering sits in the same building.
Are any bikes made in Utah?
Yes. SaltAir builds steel frames in Salt Lake City and Blaze welds titanium ones in Moab. ENVE builds its Custom Road bike in Ogden.
Is there a Utah e-bike company?
Two. Bakcou19 is run from Ogden and Magnum Bikes from Salt Lake City, and both have their bikes built overseas.
Is Canfield Bikes still in Utah?
No. Canfield started in a Layton garage in 1999 and has been based in Poncha Springs, Colorado, since 2024.
Where are ENVE wheels made
In Ogden. "100% of ENVE's rims have always been made in Ogden," the company told Cycling West2 in 2013. Since 2016 ENVE Composites has kept its engineering and its manufacturing in an 80,000 square foot headquarters building there.
The rims come out the way they do because of the spoke holes. Many carbon rims are drilled for spokes and need a heavily reinforced bed to make up for it. ENVE molds the holes in, a process it patented, so the fibers run unbroken around each hole. The price is a separate mold for every spoke count.
Since 2021 the Ogden plant has also built a complete road bike, the Custom Road, along with a one-piece bar and stem. Amer Sports bought ENVE in 2016, and in 2024 it agreed to sell the company to PV3, a Utah investment firm whose owners Cycling West describes as avid cyclists.
Frames and forks built in Utah
Wound Up Composites winds carbon forks in Salt Lake City at Advanced Composites, the same factory that makes Cataract raft oars. The company says every fork is made from raw materials there, then adds a footnote about the pre-made eyelets on some forks: "Just trying to be strictly honest here, people." Its FAQ is just as plain about weight: "We're not weight weenies."
SaltAir Cycles is Matthew Nelson in a woodshed behind his Salt Lake City house. He practiced architecture for two decades before he brazed steel frames full time, and the shed's work won Best New Builder at the 2017 North American Handmade Bicycle Show. Each frame is made to order after a fitting, and delivery takes about three months.
Blaze Bicycles started in Venice, California, in 2008. Pierre Chastain now designs and welds its titanium and steel frames in Moab, where the shop also rents out the bikes it builds. The custom frame page will take on almost any titanium bike, with one exception in capital letters: NO TANDEMS.
Utah Trikes began in Spanish Fork in 2006, after carpal tunnel syndrome made Ashley Guy's road rides too painful and a reclined trike spared his wrists. The Springville showroom sells other companies' trikes too. It also builds a UTCustom line in house, including a four wheel recumbent, and powder coats in more than 35 colors. Trikes ship around the world in refrigerator boxes.
Utah mountain bike and e-bike companies
Ari Bikes was called Fezzari until March 2024, and the new name is the last three letters of the old one. Chris Washburn built the first frames in his Orem garage in 2005, and he is still the CEO. The company sells direct from Lindon, and every order gets a 23-point setup built from the rider's measurements.
Canfield Bikes welded its first frames in a Layton garage in 1999. The company has moved four times since, and it has been based in Poncha Springs, Colorado, since 2024. We list it as founded in Utah and nothing more.
Bakcou got its name from a lawsuit. The Ogden e-bike company was Backcountry eBikes until Backcountry.com sued over the word, and the two sides settled in 2019. Its founders are hunters, and the company says it designs each frame around the motor rather than bolting a kit onto a mountain bike. The frames come from manufacturers in China, according to a retailer that sells them.
Magnum Bikes started in Israel around 2010. In 2014 it hired Jesse Lapin, a Utah native, to start an American branch, and the company is now headquartered in Salt Lake City. When Electric Bike Journal went behind the scenes, that headquarters was in an old Boys and Girls Club building. Magnum designs its own frames, and the bikes are built at partner factories overseas.
SCOTT Sports is a Swiss company owned by South Korea's Youngone Corporation, and its US arm, SCOTT USA, keeps its headquarters in Ogden. A company representative told Cycling West in 2014 that the bikes were designed in Switzerland and built overseas. It sits on our North American HQ in Utah list, not the made one.
Bags and small parts
Broad Fork Bags is the sixth brand on the made list. Jacquelyn Barnes designs and sews custom bikepacking bags from her home in Salt Lake City. Every frame bag is cut to one bike, so customers trace the inside of their frame's triangle onto cardboard and mail it in.
Snēk Cycling sizes its handlebar bags by mustache. The Pencil Stache holds 1.3 liters and the Walrus Stache holds 2.2. Jonny Hintze started the Salt Lake City company in 2016, and in 2018 BikeRadar29 identified him as ENVE's art director. Partner manufacturers in the US and abroad handle production.
Lizard Skins began in 1993 with neoprene fork boots. In 2016 its grip became the official bat grip of Major League Baseball. It is run from American Fork, where the company said in 2023 that some products are still produced. Marucci Sports bought it in 2021, and in September 2026 Fox Factory sold Marucci, Lizard Skins included, to a group led by Marucci's managers.
WickWërks exists because its founder decided the front shifting on a mountain bike was its worst performing part. Chris Wickliffe put a web page up in Ogden in 2001 promising the world's smoothest shifting front derailleur by fall. What the company sells is chainrings with ramps that guide the chain across, and Slowtwitch34 counted 11 of them on a 44-tooth ring. The About page still lists a wireless front derailleur as coming.
Ogden bike companies
Ogden has four of the 14: ENVE, Bakcou, WickWërks and SCOTT USA. ENVE is the only one of them on our made in Utah list. The Ogden page has the rest of the town's brands, and the full list is under bike. Frame bags sewn in Moab are in Utah made backpacks and bags.
