How are the bikes and components that you ride every day designed and tested? We teamed up with Canyon to find out...

But, the fact is that the background design and testing process is a mystery to pretty much all of us. Except for the bike designers. Simon caught up with Sebastian Hofer, Product Engineer and Composite Specialist at Canyon, to find out how long products take to go from an idea to production, and what the testing and design process involves.

Hi guys, thanks for the video- do you know what is the name of the designer of Aeroad?
-
So this is what a knock off bike from China....won't be going through I imagine. This is where copying the design with a different carbon layup won't yield the same strength results. Quality control should probably come in with making sure the right carbon is used in the right places on the frame. Some people aren't believing the differences in $500.00 and $5000.00 frame these days...or don't care too...because right now things work fine.

2:38 That's a pratfall.
-
that was an awkward outro
-
Check out that 'Kid in a sweet shop' face
-
They use solidworks! I am a mechanical engineer and I would love to work for Canyon!
-
Second time at Canyon and second hangover! Got a special bar you like around the corner?
-
Nice set of Koss Porta Pro's sitting there.
-
SImon sick?
-
Was Si recovering from a cold or something?
-
Was the 2018 date Simon mentioned the estimated delivery date for this year's model?
-
That Sebastian guy was super boring.
-
All that time Dan took the piss out of Matt for calling it the cockpit and it turns out he was just ahead of his time #mattrules
-
More reason why not to buy knock off frames from China. All the testing that goes into the designs of these bikes just for your own safety is well worth the money.
-
Dream job! If Si recovers his voice, may he pull some strings for a fellow cyclist (and industrial designer) looking for a job?
-
Great video! Watching the fork deflect that much without issues is calming. Recognized the "Suspicious Glow" soundtrack too :)
-
This video couldn't have come at a better time for me, as part of the first year of my degree i've been assigned with designing a bike frame for one of my modules. This has given me some good stuff to think about!
-
this was definitely one of my favorite videos :D
-
Is that solidworks or inventor?
