D1x Trail, electronic shift system, shifts any rear derailleur and pulls a standard shift cable to change gears.

Archer Components, a leader in electronic shifting technology for bicycles, announced that it will transition to limited operations. While the company will no longer produce new products, it will continue to sell off its existing inventory and provide service and support from the original garage where the company was founded for as long as possible. This decision comes after careful consideration of the current market conditions and the evolving landscape of the cycling industry.

In light of this transition, Archer Components is actively seeking potential buyers who are interested in acquiring the company’s innovative technologies and continuing its legacy of excellence in the cycling industry. The company is open to discussions with parties who share its vision and commitment to advancing cycling technology.

Since its founding, Archer Components has been dedicated to delivering cutting-edge solutions that have empowered cyclists around the world to enhance their riding experience. The company’s flagship product, the Archer D1x Trail electronic shifter, set new standards for performance and adaptability, making it a favorite among cyclists and bike mechanics alike.

“We are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished at Archer Components,” said Brandon Rodgers, Co-founder and CEO. “Our team has always been driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to improving the cycling experience. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, the current market dynamics have made it unsustainable for us to continue full-scale operations. We are deeply grateful to our customers, partners, and the cycling community for their support over the years.”

Archer Components will work closely with its distributors, retailers, and customers to ensure a smooth transition as the company winds down its larger operations. During this period, the company will continue to honor warranties and provide customer support. Detailed information on these processes will be available on the company’s website.

“We couldn’t have done any of this without the talented folks at our shop in Scotts Valley, CA, and the dedicated team from around the world who helped make this a success,” said Devin Carlson, Co-founder and COO.

Archer Components would like to extend its deepest appreciation to the cycling community for its loyalty and enthusiasm. The company’s legacy will live on in the advancements it brought to the industry and the positive impact it made on the riding experience.
