The engineering behind our custom carbon bikes
Every Handsling frame is designed in-house, moulded by our partner factory and tested before it reaches production. The same process runs through the whole range, from race-ready road bikes to all-day endurance builds.
-
Designed in-house
Our own engineer designs every frame, shaped by feedback from the riders who race them.
-
Latex-wrapped EPS moulding
Each frame is moulded around a latex-wrapped EPS core, which compacts the carbon from the inside for fewer voids and a cleaner finish.
-
First frames tested to destruction
Before a model goes into production, the first frames are tested until they break, so we know exactly where the limits are.

Why do Handsling bikes use carbon fibre?
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.
Is carbon better than titanium, aluminium or 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.
How are Handsling frames tested?
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 made?
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 can I customise on a Handsling bike?
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.
Is a bespoke carbon bike worth it?
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 different?
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 a custom build take?
Most Handsling custom builds are ready in around 4-6 weeks, depending on paint and component choices. Every bike is hand-assembled in our UK factory, ensuring your custom carbon bike arrives both fully personalised and precision-built.
Can I visit the Handsling workshop?
Absolutely – visits can be arranged by appointment, giving riders the chance to see where our bikes are designed and assembled. It’s also an opportunity to discuss paint and build options directly with our expert workshop team, who are all experienced bike riders and racers. To arrange a visit, contact us at sales@handslingbikes.com or call 01420 612700.
