e*thirteen by the hive

merger_hive.jpg
The Hive proudly announces a merger with chain retention manufacturer e*thirteen. Independently, both companies are dedicated to designing and manufacturing industry-shaping cycling components. Together, we'll build on our shared philosophy of strong engineering principles and quality manufacturing to deliver even greater innovation to a discerning customer base. Neither company would exist without loyal customers and industry families, so we thank you for being an integral part of our progress and inspiration. In the near future, we'll be revealing several new products to be released under a shared brand. In an effort to get you back on the bike instead of in front of the computer, we'll keep this short and sweet:


e*thirteen is integrating into the Hive, replacing the Fifteen.G Offroad product phylum. Current Fifteen.G cranks will be re-branded as e*thirteen and we'll soon have additional product offerings under the e*thirteen offroad phylum-both gravity and XC. From here on, the Hive consists of e*thirteen Offroad, Chub Wheelgoods, and Revl Road. Since we all love to ride anything with two wheels, we are happy to offer groundbreaking products for all categories.

e*thirteen announces the FREECHUCKER

FCKR_image.jpg

This one is dedicated to all you Freechuckers out there.You know who you are...

The Freechucker is a new type of chain retention system inspired by every day riders who ride hard and ride frequently in muddy and low maintenance conditions. With no moving parts, dual bash protection, and an open mud-shedding design its truly a set-it-and-forget-it retention system. Plus, it works better than a locked out front derailleur.

Once again e*thirteen has pushed the limits of new technologies. Through advancing the same stamped steel manufacturing process used for the recently released SS+ and LS1+ e*thirteen has produced the most technologically advanced price conscience freeride chain retention system in the world. Just say Chuck It! 

Shipping in April 2010!

Visit the e*thirteen forum on Ridemonkey

Our new e*thirteen forum on Ridemonkey.com is live!

The e*thirteen forum is a place where we'll spend time on everything from answering tech questions to giving the inside scoop on the latest prototypes that we're working on. With any luck we'll be able to get some exclusive pro rider interviews posted (more than a few downhillers run e*thirteen systems) and hopefully some constructive discussion that can help make riding better and more fun for everyone.
