“Our brakes are proudly designed and manufactured in the heart of Middle Earth – New Zealand. Radic Performance is the creation of Taylor Grey and Jake Powell, two kiwi mechanical engineers with a passion for design, engineering, and of course – mountain biking. Our background is in research, development, and manufacturing of automotive components for the Motorsport industry – an industry that is benefiting greatly from all kinds of advances in manufacturing and design tools. We saw a great opportunity to take the most cutting-edge technology and bring it to the world of mountain biking.”
“Additive manufacturing is a technology that has largely been reserved for small scale prototyping and hi-tech components for the aerospace and medical industries, but the rapid improvements in the technology have allowed for larger-scale production and much lower manufacturing costs. At Radic Performance we want to bring cutting-edge technologies into our design and manufacturing process to create the most high-performance products on the market.”
