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
