Since the 2000s, carbon fiber frames have rapidly replaced metal frames such as steel, aluminum alloys, and titanium alloys, making them the main manufacturing materials for advanced sports bicycle frames and many parts.

In the field of bicycles, the advantages of the main structural components such as carbon fiber frames and handlebars are obvious – light weight, high strength, high rigidity, and high plasticity, making them ideal materials for the manufacture of advanced sports bicycle parts.

Lightweight:

The carbon fiber material has a very lightweight. A road bike with a large amount of high-grade carbon fiber material can be controlled to a weight of about 5 kg (of course, the demand for a road bike for the professional competition is not less than 6.8 kg).

Carbon fiber bicycle parts produced by regular manufacturers are not as vulnerable as people’s traditional impressions but have a very high strength – high-quality carbon fiber frame, even higher than the aluminum alloy frame. Therefore, many mountain bike downhill frames and handlebars, which are extremely demanding in strength, are also made of carbon fiber.

Strong rigidity:

The rigidity of the frame is directly related to the power transmission efficiency when the force is applied. High-quality carbon fiber frames are usually more tough than metal frames, and are more suitable for sports riding, especially when climbing and sprinting.

High plasticity:

The carbon fiber material can be made into any desired shape, and the surface does not feel the connection trace completely. In addition to the bicycle which can make a cooler shape, the aerodynamics, the high plasticity of the carbon fiber material also prevails.
