Redline Bicycles is a small sporting goods manufacturer based in Kent, Washington, with roots tracing back to 1974 when it shifted from motorcycle components to BMX bicycles after a local shop owner challenged the company to build a stronger, lighter BMX fork. It is credited with introducing the first tubular-chromoly BMX fork in 1974, a development that helped redefine fork construction in the sport. In the ensuing years Redline produced its early BMX frames, including the looptail edition and the '75 Squareback, marking its formal entry into the bicycle market. The company also contributed to industry innovations such as the 3-piece crankset, triple-clamp fork, and aluminum frames and components. Today, Redline offers bikes across multiple riding styles and price points, maintaining a focus on innovation, quality, speed, and enjoyment in cycling. In November 2022, Redline Bicycles partnered with the Nisqually Indian Tribe on a project designed by Coast Salish artist Ovila Mailhot. The collaboration illustrates the company's engagement with partners in the broader cycling community.
