1. Lighter
Carbon fiber is a new fiber material with high strength and high modulus fiber containing more than 95% carbon. It is lighter than metal aluminum but stronger than steel. It is corrosion-resistant and has high modulus. It is an important material with excellent mechanical properties in national defense industry and civilian applications. The carbon fiber wheel hub adopts a two-piece design. The rim is made of carbon fiber material, and the spokes are forged lightweight alloy with forged rivets. They are about 40% lighter than ordinary wheels of the same size.
2. More energy-saving
According to relevant expert research, the efficiency of using carbon fiber wheels to reduce the unsprung mass of 1kg can be equivalent to reducing the sprung mass of 10kg. Every 10% reduction in vehicle weight can reduce fuel consumption by 6% to 8% and emissions by 5% to 6%. Under the same fuel consumption, a vehicle can drive 50 kilometers per hour more, which helps improve vehicle acceleration and braking performance.
3. More durable performance
The constituent elements of carbon fiber composite materials are stable, and their acid resistance and corrosion resistance exceed those of metals. It also means that designers do not need to consider performance degradation caused by corrosion during product use, which also provides more possibilities for reducing vehicle weight and improving performance.
4. Higher intensity
The density of carbon fiber is 1/2 that of aluminum alloy, but its strength is 8 times that of aluminum alloy. It is known as the king of black gold materials. Carbon fiber technology can not only make the car body lighter, but also strengthen the car body. A car made of carbon fiber weighs only 20% to 30% of that of an ordinary steel car, but is more than 10 times harder.
5. Better override
Carbon fiber wheels have good shock absorption effect, stronger controllability and higher comfort. After the car was replaced with lightweight carbon fiber wheels, the car's suspension response speed was significantly improved due to the reduced unsprung mass, making acceleration faster and easier.
