Montana

Tyler Jarosz is a ruthlessly hard-working, innovative, driven entrepreneur and mountain biker from Bozeman, Montana.

Tyler has built up Twenty6 Products – his bike pedal business – from one machine and some borrowed time to now being a leading businessman in his field. He is constantly tuning, testing and pushing the limits of his bike and himself. The point where the two meet is where he finds his greatest joy.
