Testing Owning a modern and well equipped test lab facility is clearly a good thing. It allows us to simulate any kind of load in specific areas of the frame and precisely measure and evaluate the behavior of each component. It is good but not enough. What happens on the trail just cannot be computerized. We rely on our athletes to expose our prototypes and products to the most severe and varied conditions.

Weight

Strength

Stiffness

The target weight is defined with the requirements. The carbon structure and the molding process are refined until the expectations are met.

Our products are first tested to the CEN standard, but they must also meet our internal requirements and of course withstand the hard riding tests from our athletes.

Our stiffness targets are defined at the start of the project, and we have a huge database to back up our testing. But the most important is always the feedback from the riders regarding control, precision and efficiency.
