Common Rubber Components Used in Bicycles

To enhance rider comfort, durability, and weather resistance, rubber parts are widely used across various sections of a bicycle, including:

  • Handlebar grips – Anti-slip and shock-absorbing for improved control and comfort
  • Pedal pads – Enhance foot grip and pedaling comfort
  • Suspension bushings – Provide stable damping in front forks or rear shocks
  • Frame protectors – Such as chainstay covers, reducing impact and abrasion
  • Saddle dampers – Minimize road vibration transferred to the rider
  • Valve seals – Ensure airtight inner tubes and maintain tire pressure
  • Cable grommets and wire sleeves – Protect brake and gear cables from friction and water
  • Battery and motor housing gaskets (for e-bikes) – Provide dustproof, waterproof, and heat-resistant sealing
