A component is the result of many decisions: the alloy, the geometry, the manufacturing route, the finish and the way it performs under load. At Miranda, the people making those decisions work within an integrated industrial structure in Águeda, Portugal.
Our capabilities connect engineering and prototyping with forging, CNC machining, technical plastics, surface treatments, assembly and testing. This is the industrial foundation behind our cycling components, and the starting point for proprietary OEM projects.
Industrial profile: Miranda Advanced Manufacturing.
Progressive and automated aluminium forging is one of the foundations of Miranda’s industrial capability. High-capacity presses transform material into technical components, with repeatability and mechanical performance built into the production route.

Miranda’s machining centres produce precision components supported by dimensional control and internal validation. Our aluminium expertise includes 6061, 6066 and 7075 alloys, selected in relation to the component and its application.

Plastic injection moulding has been part of Miranda’s capabilities since 1978. Today, injection moulding, integration of technical components and ultrasonic welding support functional parts for mobility and industrial applications.

Powder coating, liquid coating, UV protection, anodising and heat treatments form part of Miranda’s integrated manufacturing capabilities. Each route is selected for the intended functional and visual requirements.

Quality control begins with material selection and continues through production to final validation. Dimensional inspection, in-process checks, mechanical testing and fatigue tests help assess whether a component meets its technical requirements.

Our dedicated R&D team connects product development, industrialisation and continuous improvement. Generative design, finite element analysis (FEA), product lifecycle management (PLM) and physical prototyping support the development process.

Development begins with the application and the needs of the bicycle or motor brand. Crank length, Q-factor, chainline, spindle interface, clearance, material and appearance become a shared engineering brief.
Our R&D team works with digital models, generative design, FEA simulation and PLM. CNC machining and 3D printing turn ideas into prototypes; inspection and testing then help refine the design before industrialisation.
In-house engineering, tooling and complementary production processes keep those decisions connected. Feedback from production can inform the design while there is still time to improve it.
The XMOD architecture separates the choices within a crankset. Cranks, spindles, spiders and chainrings can be selected around the required assembly, with compatibility and geometry specified for each configuration.
Explore XMODThe patented MGreen system allows its steel chainring and aluminium crank arm to be separated. A damaged element can be replaced without discarding the full assembly; separating the materials also helps recycling at end of life.
Design and circularityMiranda uses advanced generative design tools to explore efficient geometry. The development case described in the 2025 report reduced a prototype design from 220 g to 180 g while retaining the required mechanical performance. These are development-case figures, rather than a weight specification for every production variant.
Explore digital engineeringDimensional control, in-process inspection, mechanical testing and fatigue testing form part of the route from material selection to final validation. The Quality Department works with engineering and production to assess the component against its intended requirements.
The Miranda Factory Team brings a different kind of evidence: feedback from demanding terrain and competition. Its riders help the team understand how a component behaves in use, alongside laboratory evaluation and independent testing where required.
Our management systems include ISO 9001 for quality and ISO 14001 for the environment. IATF 16949 certification covers the manufacture and assembly of reflectors and injection-moulded technical components; its scope should not be confused with a certification of every bicycle product.
Choose from a developed component platform or work with Miranda on a proprietary design. Our OEM approach connects the functional brief with product geometry, material, surface finish and validation requirements.
For e-bikes, the motor interface is only one part of the system. Chainline, chain or belt drive, frame clearance and the intended use need to be considered together. The 2026 catalogue provides detailed options across motor systems and component families.
Connected production and monitoring of energy, water, gas and manufacturing data support continuing improvements in resource use and industrial control.
