Spurcycle: Precision Precision Cycling Accessories, Built in USA & Global Assembly
Founded in 2012 by brothers Nick and Clint Slone, Spurcycle is an independent cycling component brand based in Bend, Oregon (with roots in San Francisco, California). The company gained international acclaim after launching a groundbreaking Kickstarter campaign for its flagship Original Spurcycle Bell—a precision-engineered, ultra-compact bicycle bell designed to deliver an unusually long, resonant, and clear ring tone.
Spurcycle set out to challenge the disposable, plastic-dominated bicycle accessory market by applying precision industrial design, aerospace-grade metals, and high-end domestic manufacturing to everyday cycling gear. Designed for urban commuters, bikepacking adventurers, and road cyclists alike, Spurcycle products balance minimalist aesthetics with extreme mechanical durability.
Core Pillars & Manufacturing Principles
Domestic Precision Machining & Sourcing: Spurcycle’s iconic bell domes are brass and stainless steel, engineered and brass-stamped in the United States. Key metal components—including aluminum mounts and stainless steel hammers—are precision-machined domestically to ensure tight mechanical tolerances.
Domestic & Transparent Global Assembly: The original Spurcycle Bell is assembled, finished, and hand-tuned in the United States using a combination of domestic and imported precision parts, maintaining strict quality control over acoustic resonance and spring tension.
Acoustic Engineering & Resonance: Unlike cheap stamped bells that emit a dull thud or short chime, Spurcycle bells are acoustically tuned to produce a piercing yet pleasant high-frequency ring that carries far down trails and city streets.
Minimalist Utility & Serviceability: Designed with modular construction, Spurcycle gear—ranging from precision bells and titanium water bottle cages to compact tool rolls—is built to be fully serviceable, weather-resistant, and repairable over decades of hard riding.
By elevating humble bicycle accessories into heirloom-quality industrial components, Spurcycle remains a hallmark of modern American cycling design and precision manufacturing.
