Designing lightweight and durable products is much harder than words can express. During the initial conceptual phase, one must pay close attention to the uniform distribution of stress and shapes optimized for loads. Even with the latest software available, you cannot know how a part will behave under cyclic loading without actually testing your ideas on a test rig. To accelerate product development, TUNE is equipped with multiple test rigs, allowing us to perform almost any test in-house.

Before any product is delivered to our customers, it must undergo rigorous testing in both the laboratory and through real-world riding. While this involves a great deal of time and effort, we recognize it as our minimum obligation to ensure the highest safety standards and provide our customers with peace of mind.

TUNE bench tests are used to investigate the fatigue behavior of components. To simulate regular product use over several years, dynamic loads are applied to the test parts for a set number of cycles. The required forces and load cycles are all defined in bicycle-specific test procedures. In some cases, these procedures do not cover every bicycle component or meet TUNE's safety requirements. Therefore, TUNE develops its own unique test procedures and testing equipment. The know-how gained in this way helps in the continuous improvement of TUNE's products and testing methods.
