The parts stand for top quality, first-class workmanship, robustness, and durability. They are without a doubt unrivaled on the bicycle market. The components are manufactured directly at the corporate site Dresden which distinctly qualifies the products as being “Handmade in Germany” and which truly makes them a rarity in the branch. The portfolio encompasses handlebars, wheels, stems, seats and saddles, seat posts, and bottle holders for mountain bikes as well as gravel and road bikes.
It is primarily their scientific expertise and profound experience in lightweight construction which make the 15-person team so successful. The founders met each other for the first time while studying at Dresden University of Technology’s Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK). After having completed their studies, they worked for many years as an independent development team at the Leichtbau-Zentrum Sachsen (LZS), the Saxon center for lightweight engineering in Dresden, on projects for renowned companies from the aerospace, automobile, and marine industries before they transferred their knowledge to the business sector.
This background explains why Beast Components enjoys such a great reputation in the bike community: Black East’s own in-house knowledge, combined with the expertise gained at the ILK, LZS, and in two affiliated enterprises, are guarantors for the company’s considerable in-house production depth, rapid prototype construction, and comprehensive understanding of materials and the associated engineering options which is more extensive than that of most competitors.
