The American company Mongoose Bicycles was founded in 1974 by motorsport enthusiast Skip Hess.

The company was founded in Simi Valley, a small California town and was originally called BMX Products (Bicycle MotorCross).

The very first products of the company were Motomag wheels.

Skip decided to create these magnesium alloy wheels for BMX racing, as they were more durable and lightweight than their predecessors. The now famous world brand Mongoose Bicycles appeared in 1975 and has become a kind of standard in the bicycle business.

With the creation of the die-cast aluminum wheel by BMX Products, the so-called BMX bicycle direction appeared.

Since 1976, BMX Products has produced bicycles under the Mongoose trademark along with wheels.

Hess came up with this name after visiting Australia, where he saw small, but nimble and strong animals of the mongoose, which easily defeated the cobra.

Since the 80s, the rapid growth and prosperity of the company began, primarily due to the strength, dedication and desire to win the BMX team, which has become the undisputed leader in cycling.

Mongoose became the first sponsor of BMX racing.

Until now, they have provided invaluable support for cycling.

In 1980, the world saw the Mongoose BMX Expert, and since 1984, the company has launched mountain bikes for the first time.

BMX sport reached popularity all over the world by 1986.

This fact enabled Mongoose to sponsor Hal Needham's "Rad" for Tri-Star Pictures.

Since 1987, mountain bikes have enjoyed unprecedented popularity, in stores they simply arranged races. In addition, the company has continued to contribute to the development of sports. In those years, a model of a bicycle called the Tomac Signature was designed and released. This name was given in honor of the world famous mountain bike professional, Mongoose rider John Tomac.

The growth and development of the company in the 90s was greatly facilitated by BMX and mountain bikes.

Mongoose was the first to bring the Amplifier full suspension bike to the public in 1992, which has become one of the best series production full suspension bikes.

With the development of the company, its recognition in the international market also grew. One of Mongoose's missions is to sponsor many professional riders.

70s champions like John George, Kenny Nachman, Bryan Cornell and Jeff Kosmala became role models for 80s riders: Travis Chipres, Shelby James, John Tomak and Eric Rupe.

Brian Lopes, Tim (Fuzzy) Hall, Dennis (DMC) McCoy and Leigh Donovan took over in the 90s.

Currently, the Mongoose team is driven by world racers Simon Tabron (winner of the Gravity Games 2002) and Eric Carter (champion of Pro MTB - 2000).

Today Mongoose continues its growth and development, in the arsenal of the company there are about 40 models of various bicycles.

In 2001, the firm joined Pacific Cycle.

In addition to bicycles, the brand also produces a variety of spare parts and bicycle accessories, skateboards, scooters and boards.
