The Birth Of Sandbox

Turning Setbacks Into Solutions

Sandbox mountain bike gear was born out of a series of costly crashes that tested both our gear and our patience. As riders, we knew other bikers likely faced the same frustrations—pushing limits on the trails only to be hit with repairs and downtime. So, we decided to create the products we wished we had: accessories that would minimize damage, increase durability, and let riders spend more time on the trails instead of in the repair shop. We started Sandbox with the goal of producing locally made, accessories that could stand up to the same conditions we ride in every day here in Northwest Arkansas

The Only Padding You Don't Have To Wear

Why It Matters

Protect the rider

Stay on the trail

Protect the Bike

Our hope is that Sandbox Mfg products keep riders out there, exploring, challenging their limits, and doing what they love—without having to worry about costly repairs or too much downtime.

“ These guards have already saved my hands and my brake levers more times than I can count. I mean, I’ve crashed into 6 trees in two weeks with the guards on, and they refuse to break.”

“These handguards have kept my hands and brake levers out of the danger zone while clipping trees and crashing into chunky rocks. They make me want to take turns tighter knowing I will be safe”
