CDuro Bikes

Derived from the namesake of a famous black graded trail in the local Susice mountains on the edge of the Sumava national park (Nationalpark Bayericher Wald). Inspired by the goddess Epona: Goddess of Horses, Travelers & Dreams. Legend says the Celtic Goddess Epona and her white mare bring dreams to you. She helps manifest the dreams if you allow her to accompany you on your path. It’s a perfect analogy for the slack (64˚ head angle) long reach and 160mm travel on a light-weight, 2.2kg, high modulus carbon frame. 

The philosophy behind Epona is simple yet profound – a strong, stable, lightweight, and straightforward single-pivot enduro frame platform. This philosophy is brought to life through robot-assisted automated fibre placement technology, ensuring a ride that is not just enjoyable but also technically superior. The frame undergoes rigorous quality checks at every step of production, promising a product that meets the highest standards.

As a small brand, CDuro is launching Epona with an exclusive approach. The frames are available in a limited small batch, sold as standalone units for custom builds. This ensures that each customer receives personalised attention, reflecting CDuro’s dedication to customer service and support.

Simply email us on info@cdurobikes.com with your size requirements and contact details and we be will in touch to take a 50% deposit so we can start your build. Expected lead time is currently 8 – 9 weeks and this will be confirmed with you prior to taking your deposit.

Robot Assisted Fiber Laying is an advanced automated fibre laying and winding composite manufacturing process

Integrated Loop Technology allows us to make carbon tubes with integrated structural joints. These joints look as loops and give the frame significant raw appearance.

The CDuro bike frame triangle features CompoTech’s Integrated Loop Technology (ILT). ILT is a process that combines the structural composite element, such as a tube, with a joining component or loop. It is used to connect two composite parts or integrate a bushing in a hinging system. The result is a joint integral to the structure from a continuous fibre automated placement process.

Key benefits:

• Efficient material use – eliminates reinforced patches or over-laminated joints
• Reduced machining – joint or hole designed into the ILT filament placement process
• Increases the automation of the part – reduced quality issues and overall production and labour time
• Stronger joints – especially relevant to parts with tension or bending stresses

The CDuro bike frame was a  JEC World Innovation Award 2023 finalist.
