About

Today, there are plenty of bikes in the street. Every person has different expectations from their bikes. Further, there are people who want a unique and cool-looking bikes that no one else in the world has.
Some people want bikes that are fast. In such circumstances, Maruya aims to provide “irreplaceable” and “valuable” bikes.

In order to achieve that aim, Maruya has continued to offer fine “quality of ride", "finish" and an attractive "design". Construction of frames that enhance the “quality of ride" starts with the selection of materials.
These frames are produced by Japanese bike craftsmen using advanced technologies developed for “KEIRIN”（Bike Racing）. Such precise frames are attractive and they are important for the "quality of ride" on the bike.

Handmade bikes are not "commodities" and hence crafting them requires a highly evolved design sense. At Maruya, we forge Japanese identity using "traditional craftsmanship" and "modern design." 
In addition, craftsmen carefully "finish" the bikes to further highlight their "design."

At Maruya, we will continue to work with Japanese craftsmen so that people worldwide can buy attractive Japanese "handmade bikes". After knowing about Japanese handmade bikes, you may wish to ride and possess these bikes. It will be pleasure of the craftmen and Maruya to serve you.
