Klein's company, Klein Bikes, was purchased by Trek in 1995; production was moved from Chehalis, Washington to Trek's Wisconsin manufacturing facility in 2002. The mainstay of the Klein mountain bike product line continued to be the hardtail Attitude model. Attempts were made to design and market a full suspension bicycle, such as the Mantra model, with efforts culminating in the Palomino model. The Palomino, based on a Maverick rear suspension design, was discontinued after the 2005 model year. In recent years, Gary Klein has shifted his focus to manufacturing telescopes.
