bike ahead composites THE UNIT 88 Handlebar - E-Version - UD Carbon

The trend of integration is fully in focus of the future bikes. The design language of the frames will be complex and organic at the same time. These two specifications should be harmoniously reproduced with the handlebar-stem combination THE UNIT. For this, nature has given a model - a marine animal, the manta ray. The design combines a dynamic and purposeful choice of lines with a unique internal stem clamping to an aesthetic unit on each bike.

The result is a very good damping in the handlebars and a high torsional stiffness in the stem, which is rounded off by the patented NSA clamping in the clamping area.

Together with Carbonworks, the German manufacturer of the lightest GPS computer mounts, bike ahead composites has developed a unique system in which the mount is plugged directly into the combination. The mount is available in three variants (short, long and angle-adjustable) and with a mount for any GPS computer. In the lightest variant it gives 9.5g! As an accessory, a GoPro holder for the GPS Mount can be added (only possible for long and angle-adjustable version).

Quality guiding principle

Safety for the customer and a consistently high quality of the products are bike ahead composites a special concern. 100% of all parts that leave the production are therefore subjected to quality testing. In development they use their own test benches to simulate the loads in riding operation. Before new products are introduced to the market, recognized institutes in Germany also test their durability in continuous operation.

Since bike ahead composites also produces in the aerospace, racing and medical technology sectors, they can form many synergies here with the manufacture of bicycle products. Therefore, they are proud to operate a production with such a high quality standard - MADE IN GERMANY.
