Published March 2, 2017

VALLEJO, Calif. (BRAIN) — Wren Sports has announced a new distributor in France and increased OE spec for its fat-bike suspension fork.

Ultimate Cycle Distribution has been named Wren's exclusive distributor for France.

"UCD currently distributes Salsa, Surly, 45NRTH and others," said Wren Sports' founder, Kevin Wren. "UCD has a strong dealer network and understands the MTB and fat-bike markets."

UCD's Fabrice Picard said, "The Wren suspension fork has been getting a lot of positive press and our dealers have been showing interest in offering Wren products ... We are excited to have the exclusive for Wren in France and will be stocking the complete range of service parts. We look forward to becoming a Wren Authorized Service Center."

Besides its inverted fat-bike suspension forks, Wren offers lightweight aluminum stems, carbon components and other accessories.

Fatback Bikes of Anchorage, Alaska, has now selected Wren Suspension Forks as the recommended suspension fork for its spring bike build kits.

"We've been testing the Wren fork for quite a while now and find it to be top notch. Finally, a fork that can match the performance of the Skookum," said Fatback's Fuzzy John Mylne. "We began getting requests for Wren-equipped Fatback Bikes, so we decided to begin offering the fork with our builds. Along with the performance, the adjustability and ease of maintenance makes it easy for Fatback to recommend the Wren."

Wren said, "We are excited to be working with Fuzzy and the Fatback Crew. They epitomize what is great about the fat-bike community. Having Fatback spec' the fork is confirmation that we are addressing the needs of the hardcore fat-bike rider."
