Small US company (specifically: designed my current hometown, Richmond, VA). Think Elephant NFE's, manufactured by bmx company FBM up in New York (though that's apparently changing for future runs).
They'll fit 2.2 XC tires, modern road cranks, and are low-trail and thru-axle, which was all stuff I was interested in when upgrading from a Cross Check I'd been using for mixed-terrain touring and occasional townie duties.
