Not all imported bikes are the same. We take special care to have all our products manufactured to a higher quality than normal. Our manufacturer has ISO 9001 accreditation. All our plastics are of the highest of quality and fit snugly together, cheaper plastics are sharp, rough and do not fit properly. All our bikes are tested before they are shipped. Our frames are stronger and thicker than every other look-like. All our bikes are made from higher quality components. All these little things add up to a much better quality bike. We pay more for these bikes, but in return we give our customers a much better product than our competitors.
