2025 Canadian MTB Made-in-Canada gift guide
Project 321 – G3 Hubs
Made right in Ontario, but with performance to match the best, or better, Project 321 hubs roll right of Mississauga. And they roll fast. The brand’s M-Pulse uses magnetic pawls to give the G3 super-fast 1.25-degree engagment without sacreficing rolling speed. P321 also created its new 6-Lock universal rotor mount, which works with centerlock or 6-bolt rotors so that these hubs can move from bike to bike with you.

Machined right in-house in Pemberton, Pinner doesn’t have a huge range of tools, but they’re all nice. Machined, functionally-sized metal brake bleed cups? Yup. A dummy seat post for working on frames, while preserving fancy paint jobs and weird tube shapes, with the seat out? Yup, they’re the only ones that make that. And the X-post is coming back, in black. Fork socket tools? Those too. And a couple other even more niche bits to complete any work bench.
Reform Saddles – Tantalus
The first and, still, only re-moldable custom saddle is also made in Vancouver. Reform Saddles offers two options, the full-carbon fiber Seymour and the ti/carbon Tantalus. Both can be custom molded, as many times as you need, right at home. It’s a wild technology that is trusted by a growing roster of pro riders. It could be the key to perfecting your bike fit, or just being more comfortable further into your next ride.
North Shore Billet – Talon Cranks
Started on Vancouver’s North Shore, but now located in Whistler, NSB makes a surprisingly wide range of very nice machined parts. From a better USD hangar to chainrings and idler pulleys to very nice stems and pedals to, now, even a crank/BB combo, likely has a part to fit….
