There are only a few lightweight construction specialists in Germany who are among the carbon pioneers. SCHMOLKE Carbon is definitely one of them. Stefan Schmolke, the founder of Schmolke Carbon, successfully debuted the first carbon handlebar in the early 90’s. Because of his passion, and unique engineering feats to build the lightest carbon parts, he is viewed as one of the most competent lightweight carbon construction gurus in the bike industry.
In his youth, and together with his brother Matthias, Stefan Schmolke raced his bike.
In order to deepen his experience in lightweight construction, Stefan Schmolke initially worked in a design office after his studies. This was followed by working for an aerospace manufacturer, EADS (European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company). Along the way, he spent every spare minute tinkering with his carbon handlebars and eventually brought them to market. The racing handlebars were in such high demand that production capacity was quickly reached, and in 1992, he founded SCHMOLKE Carbon.
