COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (BRAIN) — Qarv Imports is now distributing the Spanish mountain bike brand Mondraker.
Qarv will offer Mondraker's downhill, enduro, trail, cross-country, and e-mountain bikes to select brick-and-mortar shops starting in November.
Founded 11 years ago as the distributor of Rotor components, Qarv now offers brands including Rotor, Evoc, Enduro, and AbsoluteBLACK.
"At QARV we don't sell anything that we don't ride ourselves," said Qarv founder and president Kervin Quinones. "While there's been a vacancy in the brands that we offer, without having a frame brand, we needed the right product and people behind the brand for us to want to bring them on board and that's what we found with Mondraker."
Mondraker is best known for its Forward Geometry concept, which includes long front centers and short stems, something Mondraker began using in 2012 and is no common on trail bikes from many brands.
"Bringing our bikes to the USA is a big step for our brand and we're glad to be doing it with the support of Qarv," said Mondraker CEO Miguel Pina. "It takes a lot of work to make the stars align just right and get success in our market and I believe that we have all of the right people involved to create that success in the USA."
Qarv is retaining fellow Colorado-brand Uncommon Communications to handle media relations for Mondraker in North America. The brand will be attending consumer demos following Interbike, including the Vail Outlier Offroad Festival, Outerbike, Pisgah Mountain Bike Festival, and Outdoor Demo East.
