m2 out of buisness

June 30, 2006

In the past few weeks, M2RACER’s supply of high modulus prepreg carbon fiber has been shut off due to the heavy worldwide military and aerospace use. Carbon fiber is used in nearly 50% of the M2RACER product lineup. In addition, the price of titanium and exotic aluminum alloys that we use has nearly tripled in the past 18 months. Due to the unavailability of carbon fiber and excessive material cost increases, M2RACER can no longer be able to provide our valued customers with lightweight, high performance, and well priced cycling components.

M2RACER has closed its doors permanently as of June 30, 2006

M2RACER truly appreciates the enthusiastic support we have received from our distributors, dealers, and customers.

Thank you all for your patronage and the privilege of having worked with you.





I don't know if this is new news to all of you or not. It is sad to see an inovative company with quality product close its doors

They are, select M2Racer from the dropdown list of manufacturers and they are listed.

(they seem to be listed in the MTB pedal section if looking for them direct)

do you think they would last as MTB pedals?
not really sure how they work so im scared i might break them off-road, not to mention no spares now.

If you buy m2 pedals be careful that you're not getting the original orb. Several of the places selling them for less than $200 are doing so because they are the old design.

wiggle's are the Orb I

Sad about the passing of M2. Their quick release skewers have drawn complements wherever I go.

So much junk in this world. Loss of quality is a tragedy.
