Carbon Werx is a long awaited project that Cognoscenti Cycles has been working on for the last 3 years. It was my desire to bring to market excellent quality carbon rims for all cycling disciplines at affordable prices. It was a matter of finding whom to partner with that could provide great quality control with cutting edge design at a reasonable cost. Not an easy task!
I began my search among the best Asian carbon rim manufacturers. Asia now produces some of the absolute best carbon rims that money can buy. This area of the cycling industry is no longer dominated by USA or European carbon rim makers.
Both Chinese and Taiwanese rim makers are turning out the largest number of carbon rims annually in the world. They have refined their processes and created new ones that now leads the way.
This has enabled the birth of Carbon Werx, which uses the finest aerospace grade Japanese Toray T700 and T800 carbon fibre, producing rims of enviable quality. I have partnered with a few companies that will make every rim model I need, which is a substantial number.
I made certain that each cycling discipline would have rims with cutting edge design and superb execution.
Cognoscenti Cycles caters to road riders, MTB riders, gravel grinders, touring cyclists, track cyclists and almost every other riding style one could imagine.
This demands quite a number of rim options! I can confidently say we have all the bases covered.
At the moment I am dreaming up some decal designs. That might take awhile but I want to get it right. It’s the last part of this rather large puzzle but an important one!
In the end I will have something that proudly displays our new rim company, Carbon Werx.
Each and every wheel will still be hand built by me, using the tried and true methods that have sustained our reputation since day one. Over the last year I have built numerous custom built wheels with our Carbon Werx rims and my clients feedback is all very positive.
