MTB CYCLETECH is very close connected to Butch Gaudy and his roots in USA. The bicycle history started in 1979 when Beat Maritz & Butch Gaudy and Tamara Zysset and Rainer Scherrer founded DOUBLE B'S MOTOTEL INC, the first Harley Davidson Tour Operator in the world. The Resort in Cazadero located in the beautiful Redwoods of Northern California was also the place where the mountainbike was born. The rest ist history as they say. Butch & Tamara brought the new and unknown off-road-bike to Bern, Switzerland and started MTB CYCLETECH INC. together with Steve Bracher and Hans Dätwyler. The Logo, originally designed by Hans Jakob, was kept the same until todate. MTB CYCLETECH started making bikes in 1983 and became the sole and exclusive for Switzerland importer for the SPECIALIZED brand. Later they exclusively imported brands like: KLEIN, YETI, MOUNTAIN-GOAT, MANTIS, BONTRAGER, STEVE POTTS, WILDERNESS TRAIL BIKES, POWERBAR, TIOGA, ROCKSHOX, TANGE and many more. The company quickly grew from 3 to 60 employees in the late 90ties. Today MTB CYCLETECH designs and makes their own brand bikes which are exclusively sold through the company VELOBAZE INC. in Switzerland.
