Carbon fiber is no longer an obscure term. At present, carbon fiber bicycles are becoming more and more popular. Aluminum and steel bicycles may drift away. So what kind of magic power does carbon fiber bicycles have?
1. Light weight, light weight frame can be made, carbon fiber weight is very light, bicycles made with it are much lighter than those made of steel or alloy, lightness can reduce the burden on riders and increase the speed of riding. Riding a bicycle can’t rely on external force, it is completely based on double pedals. The heavier the bicycle, the greater the force used by the person, the harder it is to ride, the slower the driving speed; the safety performance is high. The heavier the weight, the greater the inertia. The carbon fiber bike is lighter and can stop quickly when braking suddenly, which is safer
Here to add knowledge of carbon brazing dimension grade, carbon fiber is divided into two types: T-grade and M-grade. T-level pursues strength, M-level pursues toughness, T-level is now the highest level is T1000, the highest level of M-level is MJ60. M-level is more difficult to produce than T-level. T-level non-professionals can be regarded as aviation-level. It is widely used in airplanes, automobiles, and high-end bicycles . Everyone is very familiar with the T series. Many people also know T300, T400, T700, T800, etc., in fact, it is based on tensile strength. The classification of the grade, and the SAVA bicycle uses the Japanese TORAY T800 carbon brazed bicycle frame, the lightest bicycle is 8.4kg

2. Good rigidity, high strength and hardness, making the bicycle very strong and safer to ride
3. Good shock absorption
Carbon fiber is used to make artificial legs for the disabled when exercising, or special springs are used in various fields. Make use of its excellent shock absorption performance to make bicycles without shock absorbers, which has the effect of shock absorption.
4. Strong plasticity, can manufacture various shapes of frame
