Composite cycling components.

Advanced Composites builds a number of bicycle components for several major bike manufacturers. Additionally, we’ve established our own brand,Wound Up Composite Cycles, as the gold standard in premium bike forks for road, track, cyclocross and tandem riders. With the Advanced Composites Inc. filament winding infrastructure, Wound Up is able to offer the world’s only filament wound composite bike forks. Since its founding in 1995, Wound Up Composite Cycles has set a number of precedents in the cycling industry. Wound Up was the first to introduce a patented composite steerer tube, as well as the first to offer a production composite fork that weighed less than a pound. Wound up was the first—and remains the sole—manufacturer to offer a filament wound carbon composite fork. Our filament wound forks consistently outperform other composite forks in fatigue and static load tests, and are legendary for their torsional rigidity and plush ride.
