The  advantage and disadvantages of carbon fiber bikes


Strength:

Carbon fiber bicycle parts are not as fragile as the stereotype suggests, but rather very strong -- high-quality carbon fiber frames that are even stronger than aluminum frames. Therefore, now many mountain bike downhill frames and handlebars with extremely high strength requirements will use carbon fiber composite materials to manufacture.

Lightweight:

Carbon fiber material with very light weight is a very ideal lightweight material. A road bike that uses a lot of high-grade carbon fiber can even weigh around 5kg. It should be noted that a professional road bike should not be less than 6.8kg.

High plasticity:

Carbon fiber can be made into almost any shape you want, with no trace of attachment on the surface. In addition to making cool bikes, carbon fiber is aerodynamically malleable.

High rigidity:

The rigidity of the frame is directly related to the force transmission efficiency. High-quality carbon fiber frames are generally stiffer than metal frames, making them more suitable for athletic riding, especially when climbing hills and sprinting.

Disadvantages of carbon fiber materials:

When carbon fiber is applied to bicycle frames, although carbon fiber material has strong rigidity, for long-distance riding, the cost performance is not as good as a metal frame, in comfort, and also slightly inferior. This is because there is no need to pursue the ultimate performance and speed for long-distance cycling, and many long-distance cycling enthusiasts prefer to use the steel frame with stronger comfort. In terms of cost, metal materials such as steel are far lower than carbon fiber based on the price of the material itself and the maturity of related technologies.

The process of carbon fiber components is important

All the excellent properties of carbon fiber materials, especially strength, are reflected in the manufacturing process. The quality of carbon fiber parts produced by Suzhou Noen Cladding Material is very reliable, and it provides carbon fiber customization services for many large domestic enterprises, involving military, medical, aerospace, automotive, and other fields, which can be used with confidence.

At the same time, pay attention to maintenance:

The surface of carbon fiber parts is coated with epoxy resin, which is used to solidify and protect the carbon fiber materials. If exposed to the sun for a long time at high temperatures, the epoxy resin layer may crack and the parts may be discarded. Carbon fiber bikes must be stored indoors. Of course, normal outdoor cycling is no problem at all.
