3130 ERGON BIKE ERGONOMICS
The development team at Ergon is made up of specialists in
different areas. There are bike experts, racers, sports scientists,
ergonomics experts, engineers and industrial designers. Their aim
is to develop products that offer the best ergonomics for cyclists,
which combine the best scientific principles with practicality. The
performance of Ergon products is tested in scientific laboratory
studies, on the test rigs of the technical institutes and just as
importantly with sweat and tears in everyday use or under race
conditions. Cycling press editorials, international design awards
and the hardest race conditions in the world confirm that Ergon
are at the cutting edge.
Carbon monocoque frames, electronic gears and intelligent
dampers. The technological developments in the bike industry are
as fast paced as ever. In the quest to make the bikes still more
enjoyable, more comfortable, efficient or faster, manufacturers are
concentrating on “Hardware Technology”. However, will
technology make the desired leaps possible? According to a
study of the German Sports University in Cologne, more than 90%
of those people taking part complained of aches and pains around
their person when cycling. An important reason for this is poor
ergonomics. Incorrect ergonomics on the bike can see discomfort
turn into sharp pain and can significantly spoil the enjoyment of
cycling. In competition incorrect ergonomics can cost valuable
energy and therefore places. Ergonomics is about putting the
person as the focus, not the technology. For this reason, at
Ergon, cyclists are at the centre of our search for the best
interface between rider and bike. Bike ergonomics is extremely
complicated and requires knowledge across different disciplines.
