Titanium Technology Subverts Cycling Equipment! Sendike World's First Titanium Alloy Lock Shoes

When carbon fiber ruled the high-end shoe lock market for more than ten years, a "titanium alloy sword" was breaking through the air. Sendike launched a revolutionary product-Ti-tech titanium alloy lock shoes-on the eve of the 2024 Shanghai International Bicycle Show, reshaping the perception of cycling equipment with aviation-grade materials, bringing three core breakthroughs to the industry.

Material Revolution: The Clash of the Century of Titanium Alloy VS. Carbon Fiber

The core breakthrough of this lock shoe, known as the "metal Knight" in the industry, lies in the use of Gr5 titanium alloy to create an overall sole structure. Compared with traditional carbon fiber materials, titanium alloys show stunning composite properties:

1. The strength-to-density ratio is 36.5kN·m/kg, which is 17% higher than carbon fiber, achieving a perfect balance between pedal rigidity and cushioning

2. Breakthrough improvement in corrosion resistance, only 0.02% weight loss after 72 hours of salt spray test, especially suitable for coastal high humidity environments

3. Laser fusion repair technology can extend the service life by 3 times, reduce the cost of a single repair by 60% and 100% recyclable characteristics, create a new era of environmental protection, and increase the value of material recovery by 5 times

4. Although a single 290g (42 yards) weighs 75g more than the carbon fiber version, its unique energy conduction efficiency increases the effective power output by 3.2%. The measured data show that in 2 hours of continuous riding, the energy loss of titanium alloy soles is 18% lower than that of carbon fiber.

Titanium Technology Aesthetics In The Details

1. Sendike maximizes the characteristics of titanium alloy: 0.8mm gradient titanium mesh in the arch area: adaptively deformed with the force of pedaling, and the dynamic support error is <0.3mm

2. Laser micro-carved LOGO: The surface treatment process of spacecraft is used, and the scratch resistance level is up to 9H

3. Modular titanium alloy fastener system: to achieve 10µm-level assembly accuracy, and the adjustment accuracy is increased by 400%

Breakthrough In The Innovation Ecological Chain

The product is equipped with four innovative systems:

1. Aviation-grade ETIE L10-C rotary buckle: while reducing weight by 43% compared to traditional parts, the tensile strength reaches 820MPa

2. Light and shadow illusion upper: nano-scale prism structure to achieve dynamic light efficiency, humidity-sensitive color change response time <0.2 seconds

3. Replaceable TPU rear foot nail system: original quick release structure, the replacement time is shortened from 15 minutes to 8 seconds

4. Arch Support 3.0 insole: Developed based on 100,000 sets of foot type data, the support adaptability is increased by 67%

Market Apocalypse

Sendike's innovation is no accident: the R&D team took 28 months to complete 117 formula iterations and overcome 12 technical barriers such as titanium alloy cold forging and forming. Although the pre-sale price of 2980 yuan has caused hot discussion, the order data shows that the proportion of users in coastal areas has reached 63%, which verifies the just demand in specific scenarios.

This titanium alloy lock shoe, which condenses China's intellectual manufacturing ambitions, not only redefines the research and development logic of functional sports equipment, but also heralds the entry of sports equipment materials science into a new era of "metal revival". When the cold luster of titanium metal illuminates the booth, what we see may not just be double-locked shoes, but the direction of the evolution of the entire industry.
