Safety and quality in bicycle engineering bear his signature: Dirk Zedler has been ensuring for decades that bicycles become safer and better.

Zedler puts bicycles through their paces

Since the 1990s, everything at the Zedler-Institut in Ludwigsburg, Germany, has revolved around bicycle safety. The institute tests bicycle components and prototypes and, with great dedication, develops its own testing machines, which are used in laboratories of leading bicycle brands worldwide. For around 15 years, Zedler’s engineers have also relied on standard and operating components from Norelem in the design of their testing systems.

In the e-all-mountain test in BIKE 2/25 we reported on problems with Sram's Transmission groupset and a crash-induced fork failure on a Fox 36. We digged deeper:

Right at the beginning of the year, the Zedler-Group welcomed three new students specialising in International Business and Mechanical Engineering. Following brief pre-study internships at the company, this trio has spent the past few months completing their first theoretical phase at the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University Stuttgart (DHBW).
