All about bicycles, electric-assisted bikes, technology and safety in the press

The most common safety risks that we come across in our daily work around bicycle safety, technology and operating instructions are also published by us in articles in the leading German special-interest magazines TOUR (Europe's road bike magazine no. 1), BIKE (Europe's mountain bike magazine no. 1), MYBIKE and EMTB in order to make this information, which is important for the industry, available to a wider public.

For many years now, the Eurobike Show Daily, trade fair magazine of the annual Eurobike Show, has also given us the opportunity to publish our view of major developments in the cycle industry in full-page articles.

We also speak regularly in independent expert presentations about all areas of bicycle technology and the bicycle market. In addition, we are quoted by further special-interest magazines of the industry and the trade as well as increasingly by radio and television in their media reports, which shows us that we are spot on with our advice. The section "News" informs you about the latest news from our specialist areas. The reports and publications of this section are listed chronologically or according to areas of interest.

Vier Preisklassen - so viel gibt's fürs Geld

Nicht die Optik macht den Fahrspaß beim Rad, sondern eine solide Ausstattung. Wie Sie vernünftige Angebote - je nach Preisklasse - erkennen, sagt Dirk Zedler, Bundesvorsitzender der Fahrradsachverständigen:

500 Mark: Unterste Preisklasse für einfache, solide Modelle mit 3- bis 5-Gang- Nabenschaltungen (Rücktrittbremse)

1000 Mark: Räder mit 7-Gang-Nabenschaltung oder bis zu 24-Gang-Kettenschaltung. Vorsicht! Sind Federgabeln und gefederte Sattelstützen am Rad, hat der Hersteller an wichtigen Funktionsbauteilen gespart.

1500 Mark: Leichte Qualitätsrahmen aus Alu oder Stahl, gefederte Vorderradgabeln und Sattelstützen bis zu 27 Gänge.

2000 Mark: Voll gefederte Räder, hohe Materialqualität (z.B. geschmiedete Kurbeln aus Alu), sehr solide Felgen.
