Frequently Asked Questions
Learn about Handsling bikes and what separates us from the competition. For questions on ordering, delivery, maintenance, and much more, go to our support centre.
What makes carbon fibre a high-performance material for bicycles?
Carbon fibre delivers exceptional stiffness-to-weight, ideal for performance bikes. Handsling uses Toray T700, T800, and T1100 carbon. Latex-wrapped EPS internal moulds maximise carbon compaction, resulting in frames that are light, strong, durable, and comfortable over long
rides.
What are the benefits of a carbon bike frame compared to titanium, aluminiumor steel?
Carbon fibre frames are lighter, stiffer, and more aerodynamic than titanium, aluminium, or steel. They better absorb road vibrations, improving comfort. Handsling’s carbon frames combine efficiency, responsiveness, and durability, advantages that make them ideal for performance cycling.
Do carbon frames meet international safety standards?
Handsling’s carbon frames undergo over 500,000 load cycles in fatigue testing and surpass ISO 4210 standards. All Handsling frames are UCI-approved to meet the strict requirements for elite racing.
Where are Handsling frames manufactured?
Handsling frames are designed in the UK but the carbon frames are handmade in Shenzhen, China, by our partner factory, which Handsling has used exclusively since 2018. We have worked with the same engineer since 2015, who is now the factory owner. Unlike brands that chase the lowest price, Handsling prioritises production consistency and quality, and a long-term collaboration on product development and refinement.
What parts of a bespoke carbon bike can be personalised?
Every detail of a Handsling bespoke carbon bike can be tailored. Riders choose their frame size, handlebar width, stem length, crank length, and gear ratios. On top of that, they can select the paint colour and finish, along with every component, such as wheels, groupsets, saddle or tyres. This level of customisation ensures a perfect fit for your body and a design that truly reflects your style.
Are custom carbon bikes worth the investment?
Yes, if you value fit, performance, and long-term quality. Handsling’s bespoke carbon bikes are tailored to your measurements, built from high-performance materials, and proven in racing. This creates a bicycle that lasts, performs, and feels uniquely yours – unlike off-the-shelf options.
What makes Handsling’s carbon bikes unique in the cycling industry?
Handsling’s British carbon bikes stand out for their blend of craftsmanship, innovation, and quality control, while offering riders more personalisation and direct support. This approach results in bespoke bikes that balance performance engineering with a more individual, rider-focused experience.
How long does it take to design and build a custom carbon bike?
Most Handsling custom builds are ready in around 4-6 weeks, depending on paint andcomponent choices. Every bike is hand-assembled in our UK factory, ensuring your custom carbon bike arrives both fully personalised and precision-built.
