Introducing ARRIS | MTO Carbon Fiber Thermoplastic Spokes

The ARRIS team recently introduced ARRIS | MTO Spokes (Made To Outperform®), a product line designed and developed at its Berkeley-based headquarters in California. From the material development to the design, engineering, and production of these carbon fiber thermoplastic spokes, the team is hands-on in every aspect, even the end fittings. The product line-up includes multiple options with highly competitive weight and performance advantages, such as 2.7x stronger gram for gram than the best-in-class metal aero spoke available in the market today.

An all-out effort for the all-in ride… send it.

Risk-taking runs through our veins, and that’s how we’ve journeyed to this point as the creators of a cutting-edge technology (Additive Molding) that achieves what was once considered impossible. Yet, our obsession with advanced composites is only part of what led us to create the next generation of carbon fiber spokes—we love to ride, and our affinity for all things bicycles sparked us to make the kind of spokes we’d actually rely on ourselves. We’re those people. The kind who confront the fearful misconceptions of what could go wrong with the daring belief in what could go right.

Performance is our commitment, and the ride is yours.

We’re not new to the bicycle space, personally and professionally. Founded in Berkeley, CA more than five years ago, the ARRIS team has challenged what’s possible with continuous fiber composites in nearly every industry, including high-performance sports. Our sweet spot is designing and producing the highest-performing components at the lightest weight. Not only do we have our own first-of-its-kind manufacturing and software technology, but we also develop and manufacture our own thermoplastic composite materials. Give it your all, or don’t bother, right? That’s why we work with many of the most innovative brands in the world. But this time, we made something special to satisfy our selfish interests, yet it quickly became something we couldn’t keep to ourselves. Let’s be real… we’re all pushing boundaries for the ride.

Video Series: Proven in the lab, proven on the trail.

Designed and developed by advanced composites experts at ARRIS headquarters in Berkeley, CA, these award-winning carbon fiber bicycle spokes have also been put to the test again and again. Explore the video series to learn more.
