Nashbar lives and breathes all things cycling — and it wants to pass its passion and savings on to you.

What is Nashbar?

Arni Nashbar founded his company as a mail-order bicycle parts store in 1973 with a principle he sticks by today: Customers shouldn’t have to pay sky-high prices to get the quality goods they want. Nashbar is built on a true passion for cycling, and so it understands just how important it is to deliver high-quality bikes, cycling gear and parts at the lowest prices available.

What can I buy at Nashbar?

  • Bikes. Whether you enjoy a casual ride on the weekends or are an avid cyclist, Nashbar has a bike for you.
  • Parts. If your bike needs a new tire, tube, handlebar, seat or pedal take a look at Nashbar’s extensive inventory.
  • Clothing. From helmets to leg warmers to cycling shoes, find all of your clothing and safety needs.
  • Accessories. Spice your ride up with bells, horns, lights, kickstands, water bottles and more.

I’ve read online reviews that complain about Nashbar’s widely varying sale prices. How can I find the best price?

Some online reviews describe problems with finding the best deal on Nashbar products, as items can sometimes go on sale without notice. If you’re looking for the lowest price available, first check Nashbar’s Clearance Zone to see if the items you’re interested in are already marked down.

Nashbar also offers price protection that guarantees if you find the exact item at a lower price with Nashbar or a competitor within 30 days of your purchase, you’re eligible for a refund of the difference. Just contact Nashbar’s customer service.
