As e-bikes grow in popularity and an aging population fuels the demand for rearview mirrors, Hafny is dedicated to delivering safer, more reliable solutions for riders of all types.
Although Hafny usually focuses on aftermarket sales, Marketing Manager Corrine Li says the company “is taking the opportunity to raise awareness among purchasing managers about the safety benefits of adding mirrors to their bikes”. Besides, Hafny is more than equipped to meet the demands of the cycling industry, offering services from product design to packaging and shipping—all proudly made in Taiwan.
The firm was established in 2012 by Tony Li after 26 years of experience in product manufacturing and mold design at Hafnium, a company specializing in bike pedals, cranks, and grips. For more than three decades, Hafnium has produced OEM/ODM products for renowned global brands, but Hafny is where Li’s passion for cycling took center stage. While in the market for a new bike mirror, he realized that not a single bike mirror available could meet his expectations. So, he decided to create high-quality mirrors that were not only functional but also durable and eco-friendly.
One of Hafny’s earliest breakthroughs was the introduction of stainless steel lenses in bike mirrors, a first in the industry. These lenses offer optical clarity far superior to the plastic mirrors commonly used by competitors. Stainless steel is also recyclable, adding an environmentally-friendly aspect to the product, a feature the firm is particularly proud of. In 2015, Hafny took bike mirror innovation a step further by introducing automotive-grade anti-glare blue lenses. With the rising popularity of high-speed pedal bikes, these lenses offer cyclists better visibility and reduced glare, significantly enhancing safety.
The company’s commitment to innovation goes beyond just materials. Tony Li and his team have also focused on solving specific customer problems—particularly those faced by senior cyclists. Recognizing that older riders often struggle with visibility, Hafny designed mirrors tailored to their needs. “Today, it’s not uncommon and always amazing to see groups of seniors riding with Hafny mirrors,” says Corrine Li.
At last year’s Taichung Bike Week, the company showcased its premium anodized alloy bike mirrors. As the market trends toward high-end products, these mirrors—with their sleek, sophisticated design—are the perfect accessory for high-end e-bikes. Available in a range of anodized colors, they allow cyclists to match their mirrors with their bike for a stylish, personalized look.
