XeNTiS Composite Entwicklungs- und Produktions

What XeNTiS Composite Entwicklungs- und Produktions does

XeNTiS Composite Entwicklungs- und Produktions GmbH is an Austrian privately held manufacturer of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP/CFK) components, headquartered in Voitsberg, Styria. Its core offering is high-performance carbon bicycle wheels — including road, aero, gravel, mountain, e-mountain, e-bike, handbike, and wheelchair variants — built using autoclave curing and 100% handmade production. The portfolio extends into automotive and motorcycle components (decorative parts, heat shields, aerodynamic elements), bespoke special components for musical instruments, sports equipment, and drones, and a prototyping/small-series service leveraging 3D printing and surface construction.

The company's technology stack centers on proprietary features such as Active Turbulator aerodynamics and a patented wet/dry braking surface, with ISO 9001:2015-certified manufacturing since 2022. A new production hall completed in 2023 under the EU IWB/EFRE program added production capacity, an R&D competence center, and a customer showroom at the Voitsberg site. Raw materials are sourced nearly 100% from Europe, and the facility uses photovoltaic energy, supporting a "handmade in Austria, sustainable" positioning.

Commercially, XeNTiS operates a multi-channel model combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce (shop.xentis.com), an authorized dealer network of 80+ retailers across 17+ countries in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East, and event-driven sales through trade shows (Eurobike, JEC World) and test-center partnerships (Bike Camp Algar). Hardware sales dominate revenue, with wheelsets priced from €999 (SQUAD 4.5 RACE) upward. A Crash Replacement Program offering 40%/30%/20% discounts over three years incentivizes registration and repeat purchases. Customers include professional cycling teams (Pewag Racing Team, MYVELO Pro Cycling Team), the 2025 E-Bike World Champion Lisa Schüttler, and long-tail individual cyclists, with revenue concentrated on distributed SMB/consumer buyers rather than any single anchor account.
