Bastion cycles Titan-Carbon Cockpit Art on the racing bike

Bastion cycles from Australia present an integrated titanium carbon cockpit that lets racing bike gourmets run together in the mouth together.Together with the coordinated Titan carbon fork, it not only lays the cables inwards, but also comes up with many adaptation options.Here are the pictures and the information.

Details

Bastion cycles from Australia is currently one of the particularly exclusive and technically demanding custom racing bike farmers worldwide-a racing bike from high-end production quickly costs over 20.000 euros.

At Handmade Bicycle Show Australia (HBSA) in Melbourne, Bastion now presented a particularly exciting development from the brand-typical network of Titan 3D printing and carbon: a fully integrated cockpit system with a suitable fork and a single-piece steering stem, which completely in your ownWork is manufactured.


For several years, the company has been planning to develop such a system for several years.As a development goals, Bastion leads to adapting the creation to every driver during construction and generating controlled flex and damping properties in the front area.At the same time, the lines and cables should run hidden because this would wish for more and more customers.

"When we design a custom bike for someone, the fork offset and the tube angle are two of the most important variables so that the bike drives as we would like and the customer expects it.Especially in the case of smaller frames, the limits of the fork-offset can hinder reaching this optimal driving behavior while maintaining freedom from the toe, ”says Ben Schultz, Managing Director of Bastion.

With the new fork, depending on the requirement, any fork offset can now be built between 40 and 55 mm on customer requirements.In addition to the tidy aesthetics, the possibility of hiding all hoses and cables also promises a small aerodynamic advantage.

# Alle Teile im Überblick.# Ein D-förmiger Schaft macht Platz für die Leitungen.# Auch die Aufnahme des Vorbaus ist D-förmig.# Hier tritt die Bremsleitung aus.# Die Lenkerbügel sind aus Titan und halten hohen Klemmkräften stand.# Einen passenden GPS-Gerätehalter gibt es selbstverständlich auch.


Bastion cycles definitely wanted to realize a 1 1/8-inch shaft above for a harmonious look.In order to make internal laying easier, a D-shaped fork was constructed.In contrast to other D-shaped fork shafs such as on the BMC Teamchine 2021kann Bastion Cycles, the hole in the stem also run D-shaped.This enlarges the clamping surface.Side effect: Even with a loose pre -building screw, the full steering control is retained.


The entire system is made from a combination of 3D printed titanium alloy and carbon fiber.The development takes place in close cooperation with Raoul Luescher by Luescher Teknik, a recognized expert for quality control and non-destructive examination (NDT) and inspection of carbon fiber components, which also became known for its internationally.

For the first time in the industry, according to the Bastion Cycles, the products of statistical quality control (SQC) are subjected, in which 100 % of the parts are initially checked with ultrasound.The number of scanned parts should only be reduced later, depending on how large the statistical deviation is possible when testing.

Raoul Luescher, owner of Luescher Teknik, says: "This is something that I have been asking for many years after I have witnessed forced failures that have led to serious injuries and death.Destructive inspection and quality assurance methods such as ultrasound have been used in the aerospace industry for over 40 years in critical parts from carbon fiber composite materials.A bicycle fork is a failure -critical part that deserves the same attention for details and quality assurance processes, not only in the design phase, but also in ongoing production."

The bastion system uses a glued-in Titan compression use, which should significantly reduce the possibility of damage to the fork shaft by tightening it and should also exclude the risk of galvanic corrosion.According to the bastion, the Titan handlebars were tested until the recommended torque on the gear lever clamping screws without signs of damage to the handlebar.


In terms of weight, the Bastion Titan-Carbon-Cockpit and the fork should be competitive with other similar systems.The company specifies 490 g for the fork and 440 g for the steering stem.
