The brand CHECKER PIG was established in 1989 and is thus the oldest German mountain bike brand. Originally, snowboards were produced in addition to bikes. But soon we concentrated on the production of high-quality MTBs. The high degree of innovativeness of CHECKER PIG was also demonstrated by the production of the first German Fullys with the legendary Carbonring rear suspension. The name CHECKER PIG itself is an American-derived slang expression and means "grin (cool) sow". Due to the fast-paced market succession, the bike range was extensively extended, and thus came race bikes, trekking, cross and folding bikes. Since 1989 the "grinning sow" has been an integral part of the international racing scene both off-road and on the road, not to forget the international title "CP" by Michael Hübner (World Champion!) and Jens Fiedler (Olympiasieger) on the track. The experiences and insights gained during the hard race were, of course, permanently integrated into the development of new wheels.
With the change in the age structure of the potential customer groups, the model range has been continually expanded and optimized in a target group, so that today all those who want to use their bike as a leisure or sports equipment can find their perfect bike at CHECKER PIG - right up to the youngest young bikers!
