Our Mission
We believe the best products begin with the rider, not the manufacturing process.
Hi, I'm  SarahÂ
Before founding Hexagon Components, I spent more than 24 years developing products and manufacturing technologies for some of the world's most respected companies, including Apple and DeWalt.
​
My work wasn't simply designing products—it was developing entirely new manufacturing processes that made better products possible. That experience taught me a lesson that has shaped everything I've built since:
​
                                    Don't let manufacturing dictate the designÂ
​
Start by creating the best possible experience for the customer, then find the right manufacturing process to make it a reality.
When I entered the bike industry, I saw an opportunity to bring that same philosophy to mountain biking. Too often, components are shaped by the limitations of traditional manufacturing instead of beginning with the rider's experience. Â
Every design should earn it's shape by making the ride better.
The first product I chose to tackle was the brake lever, and that decision was personal. Years of riding with tendonitis in my hands turned long descents into painful ones. My hands would cramp, my fingers would lock up, and I became acutely aware of one of the few parts of the bike I interact with every second I'm descending. The more I studied brake levers, the more I realized there was an opportunity to rethink their ergonomics from the rider's perspective instead of simply making another version of what already existed.
Hexagon Components wasn't founded to make titanium brake levers. It was founded to build better mountain bike components by putting the rider first and choosing the manufacturing process that best supports the design—not the other way around.
​
Brake levers are just the beginning.

My notebook is full of ideas and every future Hexagon product will start the same way it always has, with the rider.
