Every control point on the bike.

Joystick Bicycle Components made the parts you hold, stand on and sit on: handlebars, stems, pedals, saddles, grips and bar tape. Designed by riders in British Columbia from 2012.

Why Joystick

Focused on design. Driven by passion.

Joystick started with riders who had spent decades designing and marketing products for other bike companies. The vendors we trusted wanted us to build our own brand, so we did.

The name says what we make. A joystick is the controller in your hands, and our parts sit at every point where you control the bike. We pulled ideas from action-sports culture and the precision of motorsport, then tested everything with the riders and trail builders who use it hardest.

Real rider geometryShapes set by riders, then lab tested.

For riders by ridersTeam input on every product.

No trails, no ridingWe give back to the builders.
