What we test in the field.
From the complete bike to the single component.
We do not test by category, but by your question. What you have tested ranges from the whole bike to single parts, apparel and the software behind it.
Field testing
What can be tested
From the whole bike to the smallest part.
-
Bikes
Complete bikes with all parts interacting, under real load.
-
Components
Single parts like wheels, drivetrain, brakes, seatpost or cockpit.
-
Apparel
Jerseys, shorts, gloves, helmets and shoes over many hours of riding.
-
Accessories
Bags, mounts, lighting and everything that comes along.
-
Digital systems
Displays, apps, sensors and digital functions in everyday use.
The question behind it
What we look at.
The object alone does not say what a test should answer. Only the question decides what we watch for and how long we look.
These are not test modules. They only show which questions the field can answer.
What do you want to know?
-
Durability
How the product holds up to load over time.
-
Handling
How it rides, steers and can be controlled.
-
Assembly
How it mounts, adjusts and can be serviced.
-
Ergonomics
How it feels over hours: fit, grip, pressure points.
-
Wear
Where and how fast material gives way.
-
Long-term behavior
What only shows after weeks and many kilometers.
-
Series issues
Whether a problem stays isolated or repeats.
Under which conditions?
- Wet
- Cold
- Heat
- Everyday
- High load
- Repeated use
Object, question and condition together make the test. The category does not decide, what you need to know does.
You know what you want to test?
Then tell us the question. We work out how it can be answered in the field, and what you need for it.
