Premium Quality, Modern Design & Unbeatable Value
About Firmstrong
FOCUS. Rather than a stuffy, sport-focused bike brand, Firmstrong appeals to the fun and playful side of biking. Their bicycles are designed to be enjoyed with friends rather than ridden competitively. Firmstrong bikes are designed for easy use and with simplicity in mind, keeping parts and repairs to a minimum.
Firmstrong aims to ‘blend style and functionality’ to offer riders an experience rather than just a form of transport.
AFFORDABILITY. Each Firmstrong bike is designed in-house and built from only the highest quality materials to provide a long-lasting, smooth-sailing ride. Despite the dedication to quality, Firmstrong tries to keep its bikes affordable so that they are accessible to as many riders as possible.
MISSION. Their goal is to spread the love of cycling throughout communities by appealing to people from all different walks of life. In addition to male and female bikes, Firmstrong also stocks a range of kids’ bikes from balance bikes for toddlers to 16” and 20” bikes for young kids and teens.
Firmstrong Bikes History
The beginning. Firmstrong started life as a small independent bike retailer in Hermosa Beach, California, in 2010. All bikes were originally designed using pen and paper with the intention to refine and reduce the complexity of bicycles in a way that would appeal to new riders.
Marketing. Rather than take on large distributors and expend capital on marketing, Firmstrong has managed to keep their bicycles cheap by selling directly to the public. It is part of the Sixthreezero Enterprise group of bicycle retailers which also has headquarters in California.
Firmstrong Bikes
The main adult Firmstrong product line consists of geared and single-speed 26” bikes in cruiser, comfort, and hybrid styles. The electric bike range has a 7-speed ladies’ and men’s version in the same 26” cruiser style. Kids bikes offer a single balance bike in four colors, a 16” bike with trainer wheels, and various 20” boys and girls bikes in several colors.
All Firmstrong bikes come in Men’s and Women’s versions except the Bruiser which is Men’s only and the Bella, which is Women’s only. Almost all bikes have a choice of gears, from single-speed to 3-speed, 7-speed, and a few 21-speed options. Most bikes have 26” wheels but the Urban Women’s and Bella Fashionista Women’s have 24” wheel versions.
All products can be ordered online and delivered anywhere within the continental US. Bikes are delivered via FedEx and come 80% assembled in a box.
