American Bicycle Group (ABG) is a manufacturer of bicycles based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States.[2] The company operates under a consumer-direct business model: selling their made-to-order bikes online[3] and shipping them direct to the consumer.[4]
In July 2019, ABG was honored at a White House "Made in America Product Showcase".[5][6]
Best known for its cold-worked titanium bikes, the company also built the titanium legs of the Mars Land Rover Curiosity for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2009.[7][8][9]
Since 2012, ABG has used 3D printing technology for rapid prototyping and product development.[10]
