US-based bike brand A2 Bikes has confirmed that it will not raise prices on its triathlon and all-road bikes, despite a recent increase in import tariffs.
The Portland-based company, which was founded in 2016 to make triathlon more accessible, said it has locked in current pricing until the end of the 2025 season.
The company notes that recent US tariff increases have raised import duties on bicycles by up to 56%, prompting many manufacturers to pass higher costs on to consumers.
A2 Bikes said its decision is aimed at maintaining affordability for both newcomers and experienced athletes in the triathlon and cycling communities.
“We remain committed to that mission today as much as we were in 2016,” said AJ Alley, founder of A2 Bikes.
“We believe that if more people can participate in cycling, triathlon, and endurance sports, it will be a better world. By maintaining our current pricing despite rising costs, we aim to support our community and encourage participation in the events we all love.”
The company’s triathlon line-up includes the SP, targeted at athletes looking for performance at an accessible price point. Its all-road offering includes the Rogue, designed for riders tackling varied terrain.
A2 Bikes added that keeping pricing stable not only benefits individual riders but also supports wider participation by reducing financial barriers in endurance sport.
