The Spanish brand Bikone, known for producing top quality cycling components, It is distributed in Italy by Maclart, a company already well known in the sector for being the owner of the Repente saddle brand. Bikone's main specialization is the construction of bottom brackets and bearings for cycling., recognized for their high technological level and quality, so much so that they were chosen as official suppliers of the Team UAE Emirates di Tadej pogacar.
One of Bikone's main strengths lies in its bearings, which are distinguished by their exclusive double cup system. This innovative design guarantees superior smoothness thanks to the perfect perpendicularity between the bearings themselves, offering ideal balance and maximizing bottom bracket efficiency. Furthermore, assembling and disassembling these components is extremely simple, as they consist of only two overlapping parts.
Quality is at the heart of Bikone's corporate philosophy, which has made uncompromising research the basis of its success. In fact, each single bearing is subjected to rigorous quality controls, documented and certified.Through the use of advanced testing and measurement equipment, the company can ensure that each production batch meets the highest efficiency standards. Among the various controls implemented, there are specific tests on noise (multi-frequency and peaks), verification of the material structure, detection of cracks and micro burns on the internal and external rings.
Technology, research and quality
A further distinctive element of Bikone technology is the patented PowerSet system, designed specifically for competition and to respond to the stresses to which the bearings are subjected during intense use. This advanced technology uses the highest quality ceramic bearings, combined with components made from precision CNC machined aluminum. Thanks to this approach, Bikone has created one of the most advanced and high-performance bottom brackets on the market., chosen not by chance by Tadej Pogacar and the champions of UAE Team Emirates.
PowerSet technology not only reduces friction, but also ensures minimal dispersion of muscle power while pedaling. The double aluminum cup system guarantees perfect perpendicularity between the bearings Even with any deformation of the bicycle frame, it improves overall balance and reduces wear. Furthermore, the ease of installation and removal, thanks to its two-part structure, makes this bottom bracket extremely practical and durable.
Bikone ceramic ball bearings (pictured above) offer numerous advantages over traditional bearings. They have greater corrosion resistance, greater thermal and dimensional stability, and a lower density, which contribute to greater overall efficiency. In conventional bearings, only a portion of the balls support the load, while the PowerSet system distributes weight evenly across all balls, ensuring a smoother pedal stroke and longer bottom bracket life.
Bikone is positioned as one of the leading brands in the industry, thanks to its constant pursuit of innovation and product quality. With cutting-edge technologies and a constant commitment to excellence, The Spanish company has gained the trust of professional cyclists and enthusiasts around the world.
Bikone products will be present, as an absolute preview for Italy, at the Maclart exhibition stand (B10) during the Italian Bike Festival in Misano Adriatico.
