Bicycle Crank Lever
AZL Partner Covestro

Polycarbonate (PC) based Maezio® UD  tapes open up new horizons for manufacturing premium bicycle components in high volumes at a competitive cost. Continuous unidirectional fibers couple low weight with high rigidity, which can be fine-tuned with cross-layering. PC matrices allow automated part manufacturing with little shrinkage and a finely finished surface, as well as specific property advantages.
