Lightweight youth bikes

Setting new industry standards, the li:on youth bikes from Kids Bike Revolution in Markdorf combine high safety and stability with low weight as well as sustainable manufacturing and design. A key feature is their frames which come in two sizes. They are made of Fibrit, a polyamide reinforced with 40% recycled carbon fibers that is lightweight and recyclable. Weber Fibertech, which is also based in Markdorf, produces the frames using modified water injection technology (WIT) and its patented E-LFT process, as well as FLEXflow HRS servo-driven hot runner technology from Oerlikon HRSflow. PME fluidtec, a Weber Fibertech subsidiary and a leading global supplier of machines and injection systems for fluid-assisted injection molding based in Ettenheim, Germany, developed the WIT. KraussMaffei manufactures the MX 1600 injection molding machine, which is specifically designed for this application.
