About Me
Pyga
We’re a small South African bike company who make bikes we want to ride. Founded by Patrick Morewood founder of MOREWOOD BIKES, a world renowned gravity bike brand of the early 2000’s. Pat moved from Morewood in 2010 and started PYGA INDUSTRIES with the goal to design simple, clean cut bikes without fancy acronyms, gadgets or unnecessary standards.
We decided early on that we wanted bikes that were competitive on the racetrack while still being super-fun to bomb around on our local trails. Our suspension bikes are designed to pedal efficiently, be active, supple and integrate the proven technology that makes modern bikes amazing to ride. We’ve kept our geometries a little more relaxed than most out there, so they retain a character of fun.
PYGA Mountainbikes is now a household name in the mountain biking community of South Africa, well known for our build quality, suspension design and progressive geometry.
We design and engineer the bikes we like to ride, as do our customers, brand ambassadors and athletes.
Making bikes that put smiles on faces, for trails and for races - we’re proud to ride a little different.
PYGA’s owners Pat Morewood (design and engineering), Oliver Burnett (marketing all round fun loving adventurer) and Karen (finance and admin) are at the forefront of the business and are all enthusiastic bikers.
Team Pyga Euro Steel
Pyga Euro Steel http://www.africanmtbteam.com/ have dominated the South African stage-racing scene in 2017, with Phil Buys and Matthys Beukes taking the top spot at both joBerg2c and sani2c. They also won the African Jersey at the 2017 Absa Cape Epic, finishing an impressive seventh overall. Phil is currently leading the Ashburton Investments National Mountain Bike Series, with Matthys close behind in second place. Kombo Bere, the 2016 Zimbabwean national champion, has had promising results in XCO including second in the 2017 KZN Provincial XCO Championships.
Our design Philosophy
At Pyga Mountainbikes we design what we as riders would like from a bike, both in function and aesthetics.
