igus has been offering products for the bicycle industry for over 30 years. Our bearings, rod ends, gears and guide rails prove themselves every day on many bicycles and e-bikes. Whether on rear derailleurs of racing bikes and gravel bikes, on dropper posts, brake levers, suspension forks or shock absorbers of MTBs and on handle bars, flaps and control bearings of cargo bikes - more and more bicycle component manufacturers rely on the know-how of igus.

Advantages of igus plastic bearings:

• Corrosion-free
• Lubrication and maintenance-free
• Insensitive to dirt and wear-resistant
• Resistant to impacts and shocks
• High, predictable service life
• Lightweight and cost-effective

Mountain bikes

Durable bearings for damper, fork, rear frame and similar.

Cargo bikes

Robust bearings for handle bars, box flaps, bike stands and more

Further areas of application

Durable components for other bike types, bicycle accessories and other means of transport

After the igus:bike was presented in 2022 - a bicycle that is made from a high proportion of recycled plastic - igus is continuing to push the production of plastic components. In 2023, in addition to a plastic handle bar, frames, wheels, cranks, pedals and other bicycle components made of high-performance plastic were also presented.

The focus is particularly on sustainable production. Bicycle components made of plastic require significantly less energy than their counterparts made of aluminium or carbon, and the CO₂footprint is significantly smaller. Even after the end of the product life cycle, recycling is much easier than with competing materials.

Advantages of igus plastic components:

• Energy-saving manufacturing process
• 100% recyclable
• Local supply chains
• Resistant to dirt
• Corrosion-resistant
• Diverse design options
