Green technology Wood was originally used to make bicycle frames but was replaced by stronger materials like carbon fiber and titanium. However, manufacturers have now started using wood combined with technology again for bicycle frames. The Axalko BAT frame uses a micro-laminated wood structure combined with advanced glues and resins to create a frame that is both lightweight and resistant through an optimized strength-to-weight ratio. The frame is handcrafted to attention to detail while maintaining technical specifications.

3. When bicycles were first discovered, wood provided the
frame for them. Then, it was substituted for materials that
favored resistance and robustness at the expense of other
aspects, such as weight. But the development of the industry
and the dramatic increase in people cycling made
manufacturers search for materials that could provide both
lightness and resistance.
This was the situation when racing bicycle manufacturers first
introduced more exotic materials, such as carbon fiber and
titanium. Once competitive parameters of lightness and
resistance had been reached, the focus shifted to aspects
such as the design or the beauty of the outline. This was the
moment when bicycles went back to their origins. Wood, in
combination with technology, re-entered the word of cycling.

5. AXALKO BAT frame was born of a long R&D
project carried out by a team with an
extensive industrial career in different areas
of wood transformation, and with a narrow
link with the bicycle world, both for
competition and for touring.
Quality is a priority in each work tackled by
our team. For the design, calculation of
resistance and the construction of AXALKO
frames, it has been essential to join the most
advanced technology with the experience
and the trade of our craftsmen of wood.
Wooden bears enviable mechanical
characteristics. This is due to its tubular-
structured fibers, which provide resistance,
lightness and high vibration absorption
power; and to its unbeatable natural
aesthetic features.

7. Wooden and technology has been mixed in AXALKO BAT,
to delight bicycle and nature lovers.
AXALKO represents a step forward in the world of the
bicycle by a patented system. Our system optimizes the
ratio between resistance and lightness of the frame. On the
one hand, the micro-laminated structure of the frame allows
for the most competitive parameters of resistance and
stiffness. On the other, its hollow structure makes the final
structure really light weighted.
The used materials and their process of mechanization are
carefully controlled to guarantee these parameters. Cutting-
edge glues and resins guarantee an optimal strength.

9. Most of the manufacturing process is handcrafted, so that
we can care for the utmost detail without neglecting the
technical part. As you may know, AXALKO BAT is a
product that targets the great fans of route cycling, for whom
lightness and resistance are a must.
The superb qualities of wood (its natural character, surface
and microporous texture.) and the various possibilities
arising from the combination of different types of it, make of
wood a unique material whose fineness and magnificent
mechanical properties are there for the delight of the
cyclists.
