Cerakote Ceramic Coating

Cerakote is a high-end ceramic finish that was developed for the extremely high demands firearms industry. It offers industry leading durability, hardness, and scratch resistance, as well as chemical resistance, that will protect the overall finish of your bike. Cerakote is not prone to the chipping and blistering commonly found in existing paint finishes, and is not affected by chemicals such as road oil and tar, chain lube and brake fluid.

Cerakote Vs. Anodizing

Cerakote - Cerakote does NOT detrimentally affect the fatigue properties of aluminum alloys.
Anodizing - The anodizing process creates a brittle and porous oxide layer and tensile residual stress, which detrimentally affects the fatigue properties of aluminum alloys. This fatigue has been widely reported and documented.

Stock black/silver/gold

Our standard finish is black with raw silver logos and a matte clear coat. We match this with gold hardware.

Custom color options

Customize your parts with the colors of your choice. Pick your color and match it with raw silver logos or pick your product color and your logo color. You can also choose a matte or gloss clear coat and pick from black, gold, blue, purple, or ti gray hardware. SEE COLOR CHART

Matte or gloss

We add a Cerakote® clear cloat to further protect the finish. Select a stealth matte or a gloss clear to get the perfect look.

Go nuts!

We offer a solid range of colors, but if you want something we don’t offer, let us know. Cerakote® comes in a full spectrum of colors including metallics and iridescents. We have a few custom colors to choose from or for a little more we’ll work with you to do a fully custom color of your choice. Dream big!

T-30 Torx fittings

By machining our own hardware, we’re able to choose the wrench interface instead of using standard heads. This enabled us to use a T-30 Torx interface on all of the key bolts in the entire line. Crank arm pinch bolts, crank spindle bolts, all stem bolts, and even the pedal spindles. The benefits of using a nearly strip-proof Torx are huge, but we realize no one wants to carry a million tools so we kept is simple!

These are our custom color options. If you want something that we don’t have here, just let us know and we can quote you. If you want some inspiration, check out our friends at Daylight – www.daylightcycles.com/finishes/

Choose your bolt color

That’s right, all of the Teknika products come stock with gold titanium hardware, but you can customize your’s with purple, blue, gold, black, or raw silver electro coated titanium bolts. Time to have some fun!

Teknika Development

The Teknika products (1) start with a premise and concept; either something patently different or a twist on something that hasn’t been taken as far as it can go. Then (2) we spend a lot of time working this out virtually in Shapr3D which is a fantastic industrial design program that fully integrates with Solidworks and CAD/CAM software. Once we have something we believe is a solid concept, we (3) 3D print it in carbon composite with our Markforged Mark II printer. The print isn’t quite strong enough to ride, but we can mount it to a bike and check fit and function. From there, (4) we go to CNC machined samples to ride test. Changes and iterations are done throughout the process. Once we settle on a finished design, we (5) create final samples that go through a full run of industry standard testing.
