For the 2024 Games, Renishaw supplied over 1,000 precision components across 32 track bikes, including custom 3D-printed titanium cranks and a revolutionary aerodynamic seat post designed to allow air to flow directly through the centre of the bike.<\/p>\n<p>The focus now shifts firmly to Los Angeles, with three years ahead to explore, prototype and refine. Following the research phase, Renishaw will manage a series of low-volume AM production runs for newly developed parts and components to be rigorously tested. This enables rapid iteration, ensures every component meets performance demands, and delivers uniformity and reliability at the highest levels of international competition..<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have built a strong partnership with Renishaw over the past two cycles, and that trust is critical as we head into LA,\u201d said Stephen Park CBE, Performance Director for the Great Britain Cycling Team. \u201cThe team\u2019s engineering insight and capabilities help us stay ahead of the competition and this makes a real difference when it comes to winning on the world stage. We\u2019re proud to be partnering with Renishaw for a third time to push the boundaries of what\u2019s possible for British athletes as we support their quest for gold medals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more articles like this, visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themanufacturer.com\/channel\/innovation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Innovation<\/a> channel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Renishaw and British Cycling\u00a0 have renewed their long-standing partnership for a third consecutive Olympic and Paralympic cycle.
