Radiate with a lecture at “Composites in the Bicycle Industry”/in /by

The use of carbon in the bike industry means maximum lightness on two wheels, but the application possibilities of composites are far from exhausted. So what is the state of the art in the bicycle industry and the innovative power of the composites industry? This question is addressed at the first-ever forum “Composites in the Bicycle Industry”, an event organized by the Carbon Composites e.V. Switzerland (CCeV).

Radiate Engineering will participate at the event in form of a lecture on “Competitive advantages through more efficient engineering”.

The forum “Composites in the Bicycle Industry” will take place on June 29th, from 9:30 am to 5:15 pm at the Gewerbemuseum Winterthur. Further information is available on the CCeV website.

The new Papalagi is well received/in /by

The trekking bike “Papalagi” from MTB Cycletech, developed in collaboration with Radiate Engineering, has survived its first endurance test. Trekkingbike’s chief editor Tom Bierl took it on a 1’600 kilometer-long tour and extensively tested the Papalagi.

His conclusion: “The Papalagi purred without the slightest problem on the challenging tour. Rarely has a bike inspired me as instantly as the new Papalagi. ”

Together with MTB Cycletech, we are very happy about the successful test result!

New dropout on the bikes of MTB-Cycletech/in /by

MTB-Cycletech founder Butch Gaudy made a name for himself as a mountain bike guru in Switzerland 30 years ago. The Bernese was the first to import the bicycle-friendly bikes from the USA to Switzerland.

Meanwhile, MTB-Cycletech has become a specialist for touring speed and with the Papalagi has an excellent two-wheeler with a long history. The design and technical features have been further developed for years and have been influenced by countless touring bike riders.

Radiate Engineering has developed a new dropout for MTB-Cycletech, which is now ready and is used in the Papalagi, RAW and Amar series.
