your
story?
To be always a wheel ahead . . .
“I‘m crazy about cycling since childhood”; I have been competing in cycle races for a long time and have been in the
cycling business for more than 30 years now. Cycling is simply my whole life!
When enhancing my own performance was not possible
anymore looking to mechanical advantage was the way forward. Those were the times when the value of my bike topped the value of my car.
As an enthusiast and bike technician, I have tested hundreds of different components on my own bikes and have
constantly sought ways to enhance the performance of those bikes. Like many other cyclists I began building my bike
starting with the frame and finishing with the wheels, however, this was a fundamental error. Hardly anybody realises
that the wheels play the most crucial role in our performance! In terms of physics it is the rotating part of components
that is the most important. For the sake of simplicity we can
say that one gram saved on the wheel equals two grams
saved on the frame of the bike.
My passion for high quality „material that matters“ has led
me to the study of details, and thus EQUINOX was born. The
search for technological innovations has led me to where
I am right now and I am glad that I can offer material which I
am genuinely proud of.
That’s not the end yet! Technology is constantly evolving in
unexpected directions. I am already looking forward to what
comes next!

ABSOLUTE
CONTROL
All of our products are developed in our own development centre. We control the whole manufacturing process from the purchase of quality Japanese material to
the final product certification. Each product thus has
its own „birth certificate“.
“Our unique rim design” We are leaders in
the world of design.
EQUINOX IS
THE LIGHTEST

wheels! Get your life lighter!
SAFE BREAKING
UNDER CONTROL
Thanks to the unique patented Nano Carbon Tube solution we have revolutionized
the braking properties of the rim, especially
during wet conditions and also significantly
prolonged its durability.
FEEDBACK
We co-operate with a number of World Class racing cyclists who contribute with their practical knowledge and
technical tips to make our products even better.
DIRECT IMPULSE
TRANSMISSION
We are one of only a few manufacturers who
offer new-generation carbon spoke wheels
made from one solid piece of carbon.
This solution ensures perfect and durable
connection with the hubs and energy transmission without loss during pedalling.
Carbon spokes are also more durable than
any traditional spokes.
UNIQUE BRAKING

OUR
PATENTS
12 world-wide patents are evidence of the high scientific and technological standard of our development
centre. Thanks to the meticulous work of our engineers our products gain unique properties that move
them ahead of our competitors‘ products.

NANO CARBON TUBE
This is the material we add into our high TG epoxy resin system. It enhances
the toughness and yet maintains the stiffness of the resin system. Therefore,
together with our T1000 fibre, this Nano tube additive generally offers:
•a stronger structure that helps to resist the heat generated
by the continuous braking force
•it provides a lighter yet stronger rim structure that enables manufacturing
a wheel set weighing less than 1kg feasible
•generally this rim is also 20 % to 30 % stiffer than a normal carbon rim
RAW MATERIAL
• we use only extra high quality Japanese raw material in our wheels
• we also use top-notch technology which helps us exploit the material perfectly

BALANCE series are all-round products that EQUINOX has been after, from 33mm, 38mm to 50 mm
tubular and clincher rims. There are alternatives for cyclists to pick out the most suitable wheel set
depending on road conditions, and this undoubtedly will help them bring their competency into full
play. When more and more competitors are left behind, you are not far away from the glory.

ULTRALIGHT
Direct Impulse Transmission and outstanding Stiffness by the New EQUINOX pattended Carbon Spoke Generation CP006. The spoke system is integrated with the hub set. The power transmission is
more direct and solid. There is no energy loss through frictions between spokes and spoke holes. The
carbon structure is more stiffer than any metal spoke system. It is one of the lightest wheels which has
ever been built. Its performance surpasses, perhaps, all the carbon wheel sets among its category.

Instead of using foam compression forming method, EQUINOX quad/disc wheel are manufactured
using pressure bag forming method. This method makes each layer of carbon fiber bond perfectly,
which help increase the mechanical strength and save weight. With theese advantages, any cyclist
can bring his best in speed from the start.
