New Columbia Falls, Montana Manufacturer Builds Bikes for the Backcountry

Esker Cycles is just a year old but it’s already leaving its mark on the local mountain biking scene.

 The company was started by a group of cyclists interested in building bikes specifically for the mountains of Montana as well as supporting organizations protecting and maintaining trail access on public lands.

As part of that secondary mission, the company is raffling off a brand new bike to raise money for three different mountain bike trail groups in the state.
