The product development process for designing a bicycle typically involves a number of steps, including: Identify the needs and preferences of the target market: The first step in designing a bicycle is to identify the needs and preferences of the target market. This may involve conducting market research to understand the types of bikes that are currently available and the features and components that consumers are looking for. Develop a concept: Once the needs and preferences of the target market have been identified, the next step is to develop a concept for the bike. This may involve sketching out ideas for the frame, fork, wheels, and other components, as well as considering factors such as the intended use of the...
Are titanium bikes worth the hype? The short answer is yes. If you are a fan of steel bicycles you will love titanium. While steel is real Ti is fly and will change your life. This is because titanium has very similar strength properties to steel but has the weight of aluminum. Titanium has an excellent ride quality because of the flexibility compared to aluminum and carbon fiber. Kinematic.Bike’s frame design utilizes the flexible nature of titanium to provide smooth all day comfort in the saddle. Titanium is the ideal balance between performance and comfort. Titanium is also corrosion resistant which cannot be said for a steel bike frame which will begin to rust if the finish is worn though....
Mountain bikes are packed with technology, but let’s face the facts, the main weakness of all bikes is the rear derailleur. Therefore, we think that gearboxes are the future of cycling and are committed to expanding the technology and reach of gearbox bicycles. Pinion gear boxes don’t ever need to be adjusted and there are only two sprockets to clean. The gearboxes are a sealed unit, so they are immune to mud grit, grime, and dust. The components are less susceptible to damage, with no derailleur. So, you can stress less about rocks sticks etc. Gear boxes are designed to last thousands of miles unlike conventionally designed drive trains which are designed to wear out and need replacement. Another advantage...
What is a Classified Hub? A classified Hub is a game changing internally geared rear hub for performance bicycles with 2 speeds. This hub has the potential to completely replace the front derailleur on most bicycles. A classified hub has all of the benefits of a 2x drive train system while also having all of the benefits of a 1x system, as well as some of its own unique benefits. Classified hubs are able to shift from high gear to low gear in an insanely fast timeframe. At .15 seconds this is totally unheard of in the bicycle industry. So, what does all this mean? Basically, you can completely remove your front derailleur mechanism and replace it with the new...
At Kinematic, we are constantly developing new products and want to share some of the concepts and new products that we have in development. Coyote Gc First is the Coyote Gc, a hybrid of a gravel bike and commuter bike. The Kinematic Gc aims to be a very versatile machine that will take you on long journeys through unexplored fire roads and function as an always ready commuter. The pinion drive system is the perfect low maintenance drive train for everyday riding. Coyote FSe Next up is the Coyote FS160 or Coyote FSe which stands for Coyote Full Suspension Enduro. The FSe utilizes a carbon rear triangle with a grade 9 titanium front triangle. At 160mm rear travel and 170mm...
