After two years of research & development OVERFAST has officially launched their first product: The OVERFAST carbon fiber thru-axle.
They’re proud of their accomplishment and have applied for and been granted patent protection.
OVERFAST Ultralight Carbon Fiber Thru Axles
$300.00
Description
Ultra Lightweight
Starting at just 30g for a pair, the OVERFAST thru-axles allow you to shave up to 100g off the weight off your bike without compromising on function or performance.
Safety First
While this is a weight weenie product, there was no question of compromising safety. 30g is well within the limits of what they could do responsibly. They tested to above and beyond industry standards again and again.
Race-Winning
At the sharp end of the peloton 100g can be the difference between winning and losing. The OVERFAST Thru Axles are a performance orientated part for the dedicate athlete who is seeking marginal gains.
Patented Technology
The unique, secure interface between the carbon shaft and aluminium locking thread was the hardest engineering problem to solve. That’s why they patented it to protect ourselves and protect you from cheap imitation products.
Product Testing
OVERFAST always pushing the envelope for weight reduction, but they draw the line at compromising safety. Their thru-axles passed a series of both non-destrcutive and destructive testing before their official launch.
1) Thru axle fatigue test with wheelset （EN standards）
2) Thru axle Impace test with wheelset （UCI standards）
3) Maximum torque test (19NM).
4) Maximum tensile strength test (950kgf).
5) Inspection test with X-ray machine.
6) Lateral compression test (100kg, maximum of 200kg).
7) Carbon cap impact and fatigue resistance test (20J impact, 12NM torque locking, continuous twisting for 200 times at one-minute intervals).
8) More than one year athlete real world test.
Envrionmentally Concious
While bikes are genuinely a tool for good in the fight against climate change, carbon fiber is an inherently messy industry. As such, OVERFAST try to be as environmentally conscious as possible with their packaging, while still making sure the product is well protected.
