Where Did Our Donations Go For The Second Half Of 2025?

The second half of 2025 was another strong reminder of why we started the Trail One Components in the first place. Every product we sell is tied to the places we ride, and giving back is baked into how we operate. Over the past few months, we’ve been able to send support to trail organizations doing real, on-the-ground work. These donations come directly from specific product lines and our general treasury, making the connection between riders, gear, and trails as clear as possible.

We donated $2,000 to Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship to help support their Lost and Found volunteer efforts. This donation came straight out of our Trail One Treasury fund. SBTS continues to set the bar for trail advocacy, stewardship, and community building in Northern California. Their volunteer programs keep trails open, safe, and fun, and we’re proud to help support the people who show up shovel-in-hand week after week.

Another $1,000 went to Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay, helping continue their work in Crockett Hills Regional Park. This donation was generated by sales of our Crockett handlebars, making it a direct loop from product to place. BTCEB has been instrumental in building, maintaining, and protecting legal trail access in the East Bay, and Crockett Hills remains a standout example of what thoughtful trail development can look like.

We also donated $1,000 to Pisgah Area SORBA, funded through sales of our Farlow Gap grips. Pisgah riding has a deep place in mountain bike history, and the work SORBA does to maintain and improve these trails is no small task. Supporting them means helping keep some of the most demanding and rewarding trails in the country rideable for years to come.

These donations are just part of the bigger picture. Roughly half of our total giving runs through our public Trailforks page, with the rest handled directly with trail organizations when systems don’t line up cleanly. As we roll into 2026, we’re committed to pushing this even further. More products tied to specific trail systems, more dollars going back into the dirt, and the same transparency around where that money ends up. The goal stays the same: Exceptional Components That Support Great Trails.
