The concept of using plastics for frame building is not new in the bicycle industry. However, HYC developed the so-called long carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites for building bicycles frames as well as many other products. “This material combines long carbon fiber and one of the thermoplastic resins into long carbon fiber thermoplastics pellet”, explained HYC General Manager Tony Lin. “These pellets can be used for the production of light weight and strong products in any shape. But more important is that is can be 100 percent recycled and used again. Besides the sustainability, the material includes all the characteristics required for strong and stiff bicycle frames.”
