As a product with high material prices and complex production processes, generally speaking, for the same commodity level, the lightest carbon fiber bicycle will have a higher price than metal frame bicycles such as aluminum alloy and steel. But the high price of most carbon fiber bicycle products with the highest brand positioning is not entirely determined by the carbon fiber material itself. High performance frame design, equally high-performance accessories, and even fine coating are all part of the value of a bicycle.
Although the carbon fiber frame has undergone strict performance and safety testing, its safe use and load-bearing capacity are related to its material, structure, purpose, etc. It is not unfriendly to heavy users because it is the lightest carbon fiber material. However, if a collision occurs and the carbon fiber frame is damaged, a professional carbon fiber repair team is needed for repair. In addition, theoretically, ultraviolet rays in sunlight can have a certain impact on the aging of epoxy resin. However, in practical life, the influence of these factors during normal use is negligible, and it is only necessary to choose a cool and dry environment when parked for a long time.
