Schwalbe also already collects damaged inner tubes from bike shops to be used to manufacture new tubes, and likely their tires can be recycled in a similar way.įor the time being, this 3D-printed alloy Canyon hardtail frame and its rigid 29er XC fork are prototypes only – although it is clearly a rideable bike. The Trickstuff brakes on this bike are a good example of a product built to last, with service parts available, but also in that they can be melted down at the end of their life and the aluminum given another life. And it comes back to companies that are responsibly producing products with recyclable material. That’s one key way how bikes can truly be more sustainable.
Likely the color is simply a custom powder coat for all of the standard alloy parts.īut interestingly it does appear to stick with regular plastic pulleys which aren’t infinitely recyclable.Ī huge part of BIKE’s Cradle-2-Cradle sustainable bike experiment ultimately boils down to the recyclability of individual components. But since XX1 has a carbon lower cage that was out for the C-2-C project, and it looks like they probably swapped in an all-alloy X01 cage.

Ultimately though, it looks like this is probably just a forged 6000 series aluminum NX crankset with a one-off finish.īut how about that SRAM Eagle rear derailleur? Is that a sneaky color-matched prototype? Interestingly it looks like the upper half of the mechanical Eagle derailleur is a SRAM XX1 model.
