bike ahead composites Wheels - From Scientific University to Commercial Success
bike ahead has its roots in Germany, more precisely in Würzburg. Founded by Christian Gemperlein, a cycling enthusiast, the brand combines a passion for mountain biking and expertise in fiber-reinforced plastics. That's because Christian Gemperlein knew early on that he wanted to combine his hobby with his profession. For your reason, he studied plastics and elastomer technology and focused on composite materials for bicycles. The results of his thesis were the foundation stone for the first running bike BITURBO.
From university to his own company: Since 2010, his company has been developing and producing high-quality carbon components "Made in Germany." But it's not just about products; it's about a mission. Through close partnerships in professional cycling like with the Ghost Factory Racing Team, bike ahead composites puts its products through extreme tests to bring you the best of the best.
The Technology Behind bike ahead composites
When it comes to technology and production, bike ahead composites sets new standards. The company attaches great importance to quality and safety. Every single part undergoes stringent quality testing. The company's own test rigs are used to simulate the stresses and strains of riding. In addition, recognized institutes test the products for durability in continuous operation.
But what makes bike ahead's technology so unique? The answer lies in the attention to detail. The team works precisely and with focus, day after day. All production steps take place in-house, which means they know their products down to every single carbon fiber.
A special highlight is the patented "NO SLIP APPLICATION" (NSA). This innovative layer of special NBR rubber is baked directly into the component during the manufacturing process. It is used in particular in clamping areas such as the seat tube and the connection of the handlebar to the stem. The result? Tightening torques can be reduced by up to 60 percent and the risk of twisting and shifting is reduced.
What Characterizes the bike ahead Wheels?
Lightweight and stable - these are the wheels from bike ahead composites. A special highlight of the brand is the "6 spoke monocoque" technology. "Monocoque" is a term from aerospace and describes a construction method in which the outer skin of an object is also the supporting structure. In the case of wheelsets from bike ahead composites, this means that the six spokes and the rim are made from a single piece of carbon.
Why does the company rely on this technology? After extensive FEM calculations, mathematical calculations and many phases of testing, the founder determined that six spokes offered the optimal balance between weight and stiffness. By using monocoque technology, the rotating mass is in the center of the wheel, resulting in excellent agility. An example of this are the BITURBO wheels - great companions for fast mountain bike descents.
In short: bike ahead wheels are a product that makes no compromises in terms of technology, performance and design.
Handlebars and Seat Posts from bike ahead composites
In addition to wheelsets, bike ahead composites also produces handlebars and seatposts. True to the strengths of the company, carbon and composite materials are used, which are unparalleled in terms of quality. With the handlebars, you have the choice between comfort and control or speed and aerodynamics - depending on where your area of use lies. But the company also produces all-rounders for those who want a unique feeling on the bike at all times.
