Author:


Wearing good equipment, riding a bike and taking a short "trip" in the streets and lanes of the city have become a new hobby of some Xiamen citizens. The most direct impact of riding in the tropics is that it is difficult to find a single ultra light carbon fiber bike preferred by cycling enthusiasts. In the field of bicycles, carbon fiber rims and wheel sets made in Xiamen are particularly famous. Large and small rim factories are all around the island, and "Xiamen Carbon" has attracted much attention.

At the beginning of this year, Zheng Hui joined a cycling team. Nearly half of the bicycle rims in the team have the words "ROVAL", which is the brand logo of Lightning Bicycle rims. The wheel pattern may be different, but it has the same material - carbon fiber composite. This is the most popular bicycle material and the standard configuration of high-end bicycles.
Carbon fiber, known as the "king of new materials", is a "light" and "hard" material compared with steel. It has the characteristics of low proportion and high strength, and is widely used in wind turbine blades, aerospace, sports and leisure, automobile and other fields. Xiamen and its surrounding areas are one of the most important production bases of carbon fiber products in China.
"In the field of bicycles, the carbon fiber rims and wheel sets made in Xiamen are very good, and they can rank among the best in the world." Luo Haixin, head of domestic market sales of Xiamen Carbon Emperor Composite Material Technology Co., Ltd., introduced that some comprehensive carbon fiber manufacturers in Xiamen have a high position in the entire bicycle industry chain, such as Xinkai, Hongji Weiye, Carbon Emperor, Weiheng, etc. More than 85% of bicycle carbon fiber rims and wheel sets on the market are manufactured or contracted by Xiamen manufacturers.
In addition to rims and wheel sets, other parts of bicycles can also be made of carbon fiber. For example, the carbon fiber frame can effectively absorb the vibration when riding; Carbon fiber belt, no oil stain, no maintenance, no noise during riding
