A Note About our Brands

“Why do we carry the brands we do?” This was a question I asked when I first started working at Higher Gear. Over time, I would learn the importance of brand representation: the quality of product matched with the professionalism of a bicycle company’s representatives in the field. But even before the respective companies’ representatives could make their impressions, there had to be something a bicycle company brought to the table, something that made them who they are, something that made them a brand worth carrying.

Higher Gear stands behind each of the brands we carry because each enables us to offer quality products that meet the needs of the every kind of rider, from pro athletes, racers and triathletes to weekend warriors to family cyclists and casual riders. But that’s obvious, right? Of course we offer brands we endorse!

So, why does Higher Gear carry the brands we do? Why Seven Cycles? Why Specialized? Why SCOTT? Why Bianchi?

Each brand at Higher Gear has its own unique history. Each has made its own mark on the world of cycling. Each offers its own aura, its own mystique. I have tried to capture some of that on the following pages, detailing what it is that each brand brings to the table, what makes each brand unique, and why we at Higher Gear, have chosen to bring these brands to you.

Whether it’s the innovation offered by Specialized and SCOTT, two brands that have revolutionized the bicycling industry, the classic beauty that only the Italians can seem to capture in bicycles offered by Bianchi, or the quality custom builds of a bicycle made in the USA by Seven Cycles, Higher Gear has the right bicycle to fit your personality, your budget and your cycling needs.
