What PSB does

PSB BIKE INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. is a Taiwan-based private company that designs, develops, and manufactures premium bicycle brake components, including disc brake rotors, brake pads, and brake shoes for electric mountain bikes (E-MTB), mountain bikes, and road bicycles. The legal entity derives from a Changhua-based foundry with over 30 years of bicycle parts manufacturing experience and operates an industrial design center (p.lab Taipei) in Wenshan District, Taipei. PSB integrates materials selection, metal forming, injection molding, surface treatment, in-house R&D, testing, and production under a single operation.

The company's core technology platform centers on three proprietary innovations: (1) 3D Floating Technology, a patented rotor design featuring 0.3mm open cuts on outer disc ribs and an asymmetric floating rivet structure intended to reduce permanent deformation caused by heat, uneven clamping, and tolerance accumulation; (2) ECO-PAD, a copper-free, non-toxic brake pad compound designed to reduce heavy metal pollution from brake dust; and (3) FIN.TECH, a patented Y-shaped cooling fin structure integrated into brake pads for heat dissipation under heavy-load e-bike braking. These technologies have been validated through international design awards including iF Design Award 2022, Red Dot Design Award 2022, Golden Pin Design Award 2021, Taipei Cycle d&i awards 2022, IDEA Bronze Award 2023, and FIT Sport Design Awards 2023.

PSB operates a sales-led go-to-market through a multi-tier global dealer network (agencies, distributors, retailers) spanning Asia, North America, and Europe, with Mayer Sport named as its German distributor. The company also offers OEM/ODM services to bicycle manufacturers through direct contact forms. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with customer and distributor inquiries handled via direct sales channels. PSB serves three primary end-user segments (E-MTB, MTB, Road) plus enterprise OEM/ODM partners; no public revenue, funding, or employee count data is available.

Core offering

PSB designs, develops, manufactures, and sells premium bicycle brake components — including 3D Floating disc rotors, disc brake pads (ECO-PAD copper-free, Standard, Organic, Professional/E-Bike sintered), rim brake shoes, E-bike sensor magnets, and accessories — for E-MTB, MTB, and Road bicycles. The company operates its own foundry with integrated ID, R&D, testing, and production teams, and sells through a global dealer network plus direct OEM/ODM engagements. Three proprietary technologies underpin the offering: 3D Floating rotor structure, FIN.TECH cooling fins, and ECO-PAD copper-free pad formulation.

Product overview

PSB (Premium Solutions for Bikes) is a Taiwan-based bicycle components manufacturer offering a comprehensive portfolio of braking system products. The core offerings include 3D Floating Disc Rotors (available in one-piece and two-piece designs for 6-bolt and center-lock systems), Disc Brake Pads (in ECO-PAD copper-free, Standard, Organic, and Professional/E-Bike compounds), and Brake Shoes (for aluminum, ceramic, and carbon fiber rims). Supporting products include Sensor Magnets for E-bikes, Centerlock accessories, and Tools. Key proprietary technologies include 3D Floating Technology (patented floating rotor structure reducing heat deformation), FIN.TECH cooling fins for heat dissipation, and ECO-PAD (environmental copper-free formula). Products are organized by bike type: E-MTB, MTB, ROAD, and ACCESSORIES categories. The company operates from Changhua, Taiwan with an ID Design Center in Taipei.

Direct peers

• Shimano: Japanese global leader in bicycle components including brake systems, pads, and rotors. PSB's products are explicitly designed to be compatible with Shimano calipers, making Shimano both the dominant incumbent competitor and the ecosystem PSB must integrate with.
• Trickstuff: German boutique manufacturer of high-end mountain bike brake calipers, rotors, and pads. Closely comparable to PSB in segment (premium MTB/E-MTB aftermarket braking) and in targeting performance-focused riders.
• Formula Brakes: Italian manufacturer of high-performance bicycle brake systems and rotors for MTB, road, and e-bikes. Directly comparable to PSB in product category, customer base (premium riders), and emphasis on engineering-led design.
• MAGURA: German specialist in high-performance hydraulic bicycle brake systems and components. MAGURA is one of the named compatibility ecosystems for PSB pads and operates in the same premium aftermarket brake segment.
• SRAM Corporation: US-based manufacturer of premium bicycle brake systems (Avid, SRAM), drivetrains, and suspension. PSB's brake pads and rotors are explicitly designed for SRAM/Avid caliper compatibility, putting them in direct aftermarket competition.
• Hayes Brakes: US-based hydraulic bicycle brake manufacturer with a long history in MTB braking systems. Comparable to PSB as a focused brake-system specialist selling into the same aftermarket channels.
• Galfer: Spanish manufacturer specializing in brake discs and pads for bicycles, motorcycles, and powersports. Directly comparable to PSB as a focused disc-and-pad specialist with a strong European distribution footprint.
• Hope Technology: UK-based manufacturer of premium CNC-machined bicycle brake calipers, rotors, and pads. Comparable to PSB as a specialist premium brake component maker competing through quality and design differentiation rather than scale.
• Ashima: Taiwanese brake rotor and disc specialist serving MTB and road segments. Particularly comparable to PSB given shared Taiwan-based manufacturing heritage and focus on rotor innovation.

Broad incumbents

• Campagnolo: Italian heritage manufacturer of complete road cycling component groups including brakes. Comparable as an established premium bicycle components incumbent, though Campagnolo's brake focus is narrower than PSB's specialized rotor-and-pad approach.
