ADAPTIVE & THERAPY CYCLING · OEM COMPONENTS
Forged aluminium parts for adaptive and therapy bikes.
Crank assemblies, brake levers, clamping and steering components — forged in closed dies for the loads, fatigue life and adjustability that adaptive cycling demands.
WHY IT’S DIFFERENT
Adaptive cycling punishes ordinary parts.
Handbikes, therapy trikes and recumbents load components asymmetrically and around the clock. Buyers in this field rank priorities differently from sport cycling:
1. Safety under load
Closed-die forging aligns grain flow with the load path — no porosity, no weak sections in safety-critical parts.
2. Fatigue life
Daily-riding users count cycles for years. Forged 6061-T6 / 7075-T6 resists the crack growth that machined-from-solid parts develop at notches.
3. Adjustability
Clamp bosses, indexed interfaces and mounting features forged near-net — machined only where the spec needs it.
4. Small batches, many SKUs
In-house die shop: new programs start without third-party tooling queues, and revisions don’t wait on an outside die maker.
Programs we support: handbikes · therapy trikes · recumbent trikes · special-needs bikes · rehab equipment drives

ENGINEERING SUPPORT
Built the way rehab programs need
| Requirement | How XPF meets it |
|---|---|
| Design confidentiality | Dies designed and cut in-house — drawings never leave our floor |
| Traceability | Mill certificate per alloy batch; dimensional report with every shipment |
| Validation | CMM, spectrometer and hardness testing; PPAP / FAI documentation on request |
| Finish | CNC machining to Ra 0.8 (per-drawing review); anodising Type II/III |
| Program size | Prototype to production — small-batch, multi-SKU scheduling supported |
FAQ
Before you send a drawing
Can you forge from our existing adaptive bike design?
Yes. Send STEP, DWG or PDF — an engineer reviews forgeability, suggests draft angles and tolerance adjustments, and replies with a feasibility opinion and cost range.
What alloys do you recommend for adaptive bike parts?
6061-T6 for general structural parts, 7075-T6 where strength-to-weight is critical, 6082-T6 for European programs. All four alloys are stocked with mill certificates.
Do you support small production batches with many variants?
Yes — our die shop and press range are set up for multi-SKU programs. Batch sizes are quoted per part number based on size and die amortisation.
Can you supply fatigue-relevant documentation?
We provide material certificates, dimensional reports and process documentation to support your own validation. PPAP / FAI available on request.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. Tooling is designed and built in-house, so your drawings stay with the people who make your parts.
Which file formats can I send?
STEP, STP, DWG, DXF and PDF — even a clear photo of a print works for a first feasibility opinion.
How fast do you reply to a drawing?
Most drawings receive a feasibility opinion and cost range within 3 working days.
Can you machine and finish parts too?
Yes — CNC finishing to Ra 0.8 (per-drawing review), plus anodising Type II/III, sandblasting, powder coating and electrophoresis.
What quality documents do you provide?
A mill certificate per alloy batch and a dimensional report with every shipment; PPAP and FAI documentation on request.
Where do you ship from?
Our factory in Guangming District, Shenzhen, with export packing and worldwide delivery.
