I have now been working with IRWIN Cycling s team for several years. They have been most impressive in every aspect. From the areas of technical excellence, product quality, value, marketing and technical support I could not be more delighted. More importantly, IT HAS ENABLED ME TO SELL HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTS INTO A TOUGH MARKET AND GET SUCCESS QUICKLY. None of this would be possible without the expert backing from the IRWIN Cycling team. However, the aspect that sets IRWIN Cycling apart, is the high integrity with which they carry themselves. IRWIN Cycling selects its people and partners not just on commercial terms, but on values.

VISION To communicate to the bicycling community that IRWIN Cycling is committed to bringing some of the most advanced bicycle products to market at affordable prices, and making the consumers understand via everyday language that we focus on innovation and implementing functional technology that makes a huge positive influence on the rider s cycling experience. BRAND POSITION IRWIN Cycling is a dynamic brand that focuses on using the latest design and technology to make cycling a more fun and safer activity. RATHER THAN ENGAGING IN FANCY MARKETING GIMMICKS THAT OFFERS NO REAL-WORLD BENEFITS, OUR ATTENTION IS DIRECTED AT THE CONTINUOUS INNOVATION AND ENGINEERING IMPROVEMENT OF OUR PRODUCTS. These innovation and engineering improvements are measurable factors and supported by hard scientific data. To this end, we have invested in our own machineries and equipment. In fact, we are one of the very few brands that does our own product testing, quality control and design. Our testing facility is located in Taichung City, Taiwan, which is the epicenter of bicycle manufacturing. This allows us to access the brightest minds in bicycle science to create products that consistently exceed expectations at affordable prices. While we are not the biggest or most well-known brand, our products are second to none. And we will continue to emphasize functional technology and innovation while avoiding hollow and confusing marketing gimmicks. 3
WHEELSETS ARE OUR CORE PRODUCTS We have a full line of wheels from road to MTB in different configurations and sizes. We have an extensive experience in wheel technology. In fact, we are just one of the few companies that have our own in-house wheel testing machines. For you that means less quality problems, more customer trust and ultimately, more sales. WE WILL BE METHODICALLY IMPROVING AND EXPANDING OUR PRODUCT LINE We understand the importance of having a more diverse product line without losing focus on our main strength. Our future plans involve incorporating wheel-related parts and accessories to complement our core products. We will do so in a controlled way by making sure that each product we release into the market is worthy of carrying the IRWIN Cycling brand. For you and your dealers, it will mean more sales opportunities. 4
