E.G.S. - EQUILIBRIUM GEOMETRY SYSTEM
 
 

Equilibrium Geometry System is Element Technic's integration of balanced frame and tubing geometries.

First, frame geometry is the essential parameter of a good ride. We focus on positioning the rider in a way which is:

  • optimal for the intended purpose of the bike
  • efficient on the terrains for which the bike is intended to be used
  • fitsmost body types.

Then, tube design translates the geometry and creates the feel of the ride. We develop tubing which is:

 
  • shaped to resist the forces demands created by the rider and riding loads
  • tuned to absorb and filter undesirable ground inputs
  • created from the finest materials

Next, assembly of the tubeset makes the frame a reality. We carefully control:

 
  • welding, bonding and heat-treatment
  • precision alignment ~ 50% tighter than typical

Finally, without testing proof , our concept is nothing. We hold back the product until we can pass:

 
  • hundreds of thousands of machine fatigue cycles
  • thousands of kilometres of road-testing
