"In 2020, FusionFiber rims rolled into the MTB scene with the first wheels from Revel Bikes. The proprietary technology of CSS Composites, FusionFiber turned heads by offering a new method of creating composite bike components that claimed to be stronger, lighter, more cost-effective, better riding, 100% recyclable, and all made in the USA. While Revel was the first brand to offer a FusionFiber wheelset, the technology soon made its way to other brands, including Chris King, Atomik, and Evil."
"There is still no official public-facing announcement that CSS Composites has closed down. The news seems to have been first reported by the Radavist, who obtained a letter from a law firm representing CSS Composites that was sent to their OEM partners about the shutdown. We wanted to verify this letter for ourselves before posting, and we were able to obtain the same letter directly from one of the wheel brands that CSS Composites has partnered with."
CSS Composites ceased operations, leaving production, service, and warranty support for FusionFiber components and Forge+Bond wheels uncertain. FusionFiber technology had been used by brands including Revel Bikes, Chris King, Atomik, and Evil, and offered claims of stronger, lighter, recyclable, US-made composite parts. A law firm letter to OEM partners states that any previously submitted or future requests for service, repair, or replacement will not be honored. There is no official public-facing announcement confirming the closure. The letter reveals that lifetime warranties depend on the company's existence rather than the product lifespan. The future of Forge+Bond branded wheels remains unclear.
