Loaded Precision Bike Parts & Accessories

Loaded Precision is a U.S.-based manufacturer of mountain bike components. Offering special-purpose parts designed with specific use in mind, from downhill and freeride to cross-country to trail, Loaded's catalogue is very colorful, with almost every metal item available in one of seven anodized colors. Parts span from chainring bolts to complete carbon wheelsets. Loaded's parts are available from shops in the continental U.S. and dealers in the UK, Europe, South Africa, and Canada, and online from Loaded directly.

Founded in 2007, Loaded's mission is to create purpose-driven components, tuned to provide the best possible performance. The result is a large catalogue, with choices for riders in all mountain biking disciplines; gravity riders will find bars strong and flat, while XC racers will find one exceptionally light.

Wheelsets are available built, or by component, with each offered in all of Loaded's colors. The mix and match possibilities are endless; roll Italy with red hubs, silver spokes, and green rims. All componentry is also available in silver or black, for those who prefer a more low-key setup. Loaded has gotten into carbon, now offering both light racing rims and very tough freerider's.

The moving parts are nicely built. Pedals carry multiple sealed bearings, headsets use ceramic - the purpose drives the design. The final result is elegant and functional. Static parts, from bars to seatposts, focus more on materials; stems are CNC-machined aluminum, saddle mounting hardware in titanium, drop bar in carbon.

Loaded sells beautiful, functional componentry. Find their kit at your local shop and lighten your ride (or go bright blue).
