Is ''made in china'' still a bad thing in 2024? I will show what's important before you buy a carbon wheelset from china, or any other ''wester'' brand. The carbon fiber industry is developing and the biggest brands actually outsource their manufacturing to China (amongst other countries). Watch this documentary about Lún Performance where I went to Xiamen China to discover how their wheels are made from raw fiber to a fully assembled and Quality controlled wheelset! Lún Performance is leading the technology with their flagship MEGA wheelset and is ahead of the competition with their HALO spoke design.
Watch part 1 of this docu about Winspace, the main brand. Taking you along the head office, their handlebar factory and frame factory where we will show the carbon layup of the latest flagship frame, the Agile. 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=RitLomA91G8
