Overview

Engineering the Future of Carbon Rims

Founded in 2020, DRACO Carbon is an OEM and ODM manufacturer of carbon fiber bicycle rims and wheelsets, based in Huizhou, China 鈥?a city at the center of the world's carbon rim supply chain, minutes from Shenzhen and Dongguan. With a 135-person team and a factory purpose-built for carbon rim production, we serve cycling brands worldwide with engineering-driven manufacturing. From layup design to final wheel truing, every process is tracked, tested, and delivered with the precision your riders demand.

Innovation Stalled

Before founding DRACO, our team worked across both sides of the carbon rim industry 鈥?in brand operations and in factory management. We saw the same problems over and over. Factories refused design changes because "that's not how we do it."

Engineering-first development approach
Custom layup design and performance optimization
Your specification, our execution 鈥?no pushback

Communication Broke Down

Misunderstandings between brand vision and factory execution wasted months and money. Design intent got lost in translation, and quality became a guessing game.

Direct engineer access 鈥?no middlemen
Clear project briefs from inquiry to shipment
Regular, structured updates at every stage

Transparency Was Missing

Brands had no visibility into their own production 鈥?no test data, no process details, no real accountability. We started DRACO Carbon to fix this. A factory that thinks like a brand's engineering partner.

Full test data shared with every production batch
Serial-number tracked from prepreg to delivery
Open-door factory tours and virtual walk-throughs
