Mountain bikes are complex machines made up of numerous parts and components, each contributing to the bike’s overall function. While the workings of mountain bike parts such as the frame, suspension, ...

For years, the cycling industry has used 3D printing to make metal bike frames and smaller road-worthy parts. A 3D-printed carbon fibre frame, though? That’s harder to come by, even for elite riders.

Arevo’s new bikes are made from a thermoplastic embedded with carbon fiber, and can be printed locally, instead of waiting for parts to ship. A typical bike sold in a U.S. bike shop today was made in ...
