SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire=Yonhap News/ — DAHON, a global folding bicycle brand, recently unveiled ‘Speed Technology’, an innovative frame design that significantly improves riding efficiency and speed by increasing bicycle frame rigidity.
Dr. Hon showcasing Speed Technology
DAHON is a company that has been dedicated to the development and innovation of folding bicycles, and is known as a synonym for folding bicycle brands. While testing the rigidity of a folding bicycle, the company’s founder and CEO, Dr. David T. Hon, and his research and development (R&D) team discovered the interesting fact that improving the rigidity of the bicycle made it faster than road and mountain bikes. did. Surprisingly, after thorough testing of more than 40 bicycles from several brands, we were able to identify serious design flaws in existing bicycle frames that cause significant loss of rideability.
To solve this problem, DAHON developed ‘Speed Technology’, a patented solution product line designed to improve the rigidity of existing bicycle frames, forks, and other components. For this innovation, an unprecedented level of testing platform for bicycle frames, finite element analysis (a computer simulation technology used in engineering analysis) software, and material mechanics was mobilized. Speed Technology can significantly improve the speed of bicycles regardless of wheel size, including folding bicycles, road bikes, and mountain bikes. This makes bikes in all categories lighter, faster, more aesthetically pleasing, and more enjoyable to ride.
In particular, DAHON plans to launch a new aluminum and carbon fiber frame product line utilizing Speed Technology. The frame used here boasts 10-20% improved rigidity compared to existing road and mountain bike frames.
An open race held by DAHON at CHINA CYCLE 2023
DAHON plans to hold open scientific races in six categories with a total prize money of $5,000 at Taipei Cycle 2024 (March 6-9, Taipei) and China Cycle 2024 (May 6-9, Shanghai). . This event is expected to provide scientific and reliable data demonstrating the impressive capabilities of Speed Technology. It is also expected to have a big impact on the industry.
Dr. Hon has already published an academic paper detailing the experimental and theoretical evaluation of Speed Technology and its benefits.[ ]has been announced. We plan to present three additional papers related to this this year. You can receive new news by visiting the link.
