We’ve been building our own carbon frames since 1991. Back then,<br />
nobody else was building reliable carbon structures, because<br />
nobody else knew how. <strong>Trek</strong> figured it out. We hired aerospace<br />
engineers, materials scientists, carbon experts, and we pushed<br />
the boundaries of what could be done with a bicycle frame.<br />
Since 1991, no one has built more carbon frames than <strong>Trek</strong>. No one<br />
has as many engineers and researchers dedicated to carbon fiber<br />
product. We started out as pioneers, and we’re still the<br />
undisputed industry leader.<br />
There are lots of carbon frames on the market today, many from<br />
companies with no expertise who simply order up carbon frames<br />
with their name on them. But there’s a big difference between<br />
those frames and a <strong>Trek</strong>.<br />

Case in point: we've pioneered a higher standard of lab testing,<br />
because we believe the industry baseline CPSC and CEN<br />
standards aren't nearly enough. So we developed our own tests,<br />
to push the limits of what’s possible.<br />
That’s a lot of trouble, which is probably why no one else does it.<br />
But we gladly spend the time and effort, because experience tells<br />
us it leads to the best product, period.<br />
Of course, facility testing only gets you so far. So once the lab<br />
coats sign off on a frame, we go ride it ourselves. Hard. For days,<br />
weeks, months, sometimes years. All before it ever shows up in<br />
the bike shop.
