In the global bicycle components market, carbon fiber wheels are no longer just a symbol of “performance upgrade.” They have become a kind of industry pass: whoever masters lightweight, high-strength carbon fiber wheels can gain a competitive edge in the high-end market. In the past, many European and American buyers only recognized European brands as “top-tier.” But over the past decade, the trend has quietly shifted. Increasingly, international buyers are placing their orders with Chinese factories, including Amoy Wheels, a carbon fiber wheel manufacturer founded in 2013 in Xiamen.
Why? Because here, buyers can see modern production lines, advanced manufacturing equipment, and strict quality inspection standards, while also experiencing the confidence that comes with “Made in China”: high quality, cost advantages, and reliable, stable delivery.
Inside the Xiamen Factory: The Symphony of Steel and Carbon Fiber
If you visit the Amoy Wheels production workshop for the first time, it’s hard not to be impressed. This is not the noisy, dusty factory that many imagine, but more like a modern laboratory. Under bright white lights, automated machines hum steadily, the air carries a faint scent of curing resin, yet there is no mess at all.
On the monitors of more than 20 engineers, sheets of carbon fiber fabric are precisely cut and then placed into high-temperature molds, transforming from “soft fabric” into “rigid rims.” Workers, dressed neatly in uniforms, operate skillfully and rhythmically, like musicians performing in an orchestra, each step playing its part in this “symphony of carbon fiber.”
The factory has over 250 skilled workers and is equipped with fully automated CNC machines, vacuum autoclaves, and wind tunnel testing facilities. This combination allows Amoy Wheels to produce 25,000 carbon fiber rims per month, supplying customers around the world consistently.
The Secret of Materials: Why Our Rims Are Lighter and Stronger
The competitiveness of carbon fiber wheels comes down to raw materials. Amoy Wheels consistently uses Toray T700, T800, and T1000 carbon fiber from Japan.
T700 provides toughness and durability, ensuring the wheel does not fatigue under prolonged impact.
T800 and T1000 offer extra stiffness and lightweight performance. Although too rigid to be used alone, when combined in the right proportions, they create rims that are both light and strong.
It’s like brewing a perfectly balanced cup of coffee: too strong is bitter, too weak is bland. Only by mastering the ratio can it become unforgettable. Amoy Wheels’ formula works the same way, maximizing the advantages of all three types of carbon fiber.
The Transformation of “Made in China”: From Doubt to Trust
Ten years ago, the label “Made in China” might have meant “cheap but low quality” in the minds of some European and American buyers. Today, that perception is being overturned.
At European bike shows, we often hear comments like:
“Your carbon fiber wheels not only pass UCI tests, but ride just like the European brands—and even lighter.”
A German distributor admitted that in the past, they only worked with Italian factories. But after introducing Amoy Wheels’ products three years ago, the customer feedback was unexpectedly positive: fewer complaints, higher repeat purchases, and even better profit margins.
This is because Amoy Wheels maintains exceptionally strict quality management. Every carbon fiber rim leaving the factory undergoes 100% inspection, including impact, fatigue, and lateral stiffness tests. The standards meet UCI and ISO requirements, with some exceeding them by a wide margin. In other words, before entering the European and American markets, our rims have already “passed through rigorous trials” in China.
Why Price Is Also an Advantage
In the carbon wheel market, buyers often worry about “cheap products with poor quality.” Amoy Wheels proves this is not the case. While ensuring quality, our prices are still 30–40% lower than European brands.
Why?
Scale Effect: A monthly production of 25,000 rims allows us to spread costs.
Supply Chain Advantage: Xiamen is the hub of China’s carbon fiber bicycle component industry, with raw materials, molds, and labor highly concentrated.
Efficient Management: 250 workers combined with advanced equipment improve efficiency and reduce waste.
For overseas buyers, this means larger profit margins. European and American consumers receive a high-end carbon road bike wheels or carbon mountain bike wheels, while distributors and brands enjoy a more favorable cost structure.
