Performance Wooden Bikes
Undoubtedly, the most frequently asked question. It’s quite straightforward, we specialize in crafting wooden bicycle frames, so the answer is no. Unlike some other frame builders who conceal their frames with paint or stains, we proudly showcase the exquisite design and craftsmanship of our frames, allowing the natural depth and colours of the timber to shine through.
Each frame varies due to the different wood species we use. Even within the same timber species, density varies from tree to tree. Thanks to our HRP manufacturing process, we can create lightweight wooden bike frames. With some complete bikes weighing as little as 6.2 kg. Our Puissant W is the world's lightest wooden bike.
Below is a guide of our frame weights:
- Aeriform: 2200 g
- Variantia: 1700 g
- Puissant: 1550 g
- Puissant (W): 1000 g
Yes and no, our standard-sized frames are built with a 100 kg total weight rating, unless otherwise specified. Custom made frames are tailored to suit the rider's requested weight.
At HTech Bikes, we thrive on challenges. Our custom wooden bicycle frames are meticulously crafted to your unique specifications. Whether you’re seeking an eBike all the way to a full suspension mountain bike, or a road bike.
Additionally, we’re delighted to customize our existing road frames to your preferences, because there’s nothing quite like a bike made just for you!
The duration varies for each order. Factors include the chosen model and other concurrent builds. Typically, frame manufacturing takes between 6 to 8 weeks. However things don't always run smoothly and delays for various reason may happen. Some custom builds have extended beyond 16 weeks. At HTech Bikes, we prioritize safety and quality over time or cost savings.
Absolutely, we ship HTech bikes worldwide, so you can get your frame no matter where you live.
Certainly, our wooden bike frames are more than capable of outperforming carbon frames, it all depends on your legs.
Not at all, HTech Bikes coats all our frames with top-quality finishes. These coatings are strong, waterproof, UV-stable, and flexible. They can withstand all but the most severe impacts. Normal usage won't require recoating. Keeping your bike clean ensures the finish lasts, and a little automotive polish can restore that new bike shine if needed.
