Overview of German bicycles

Bicycles - a popular means of transportation that does not require fuel costs, expensive repairs. They do not stand in traffic jams and contribute to adequate physical activity. German bicycles are a special page in this product group. Like all German, they are characterized by laconicism, reliability and high quality.

Bicycles for a modern person are produced by a variety of companies and brands. All of them secretly or openly compete with each other in who will offer new qualities and improved characteristics, who will be distinguished by a novelty. In other words, the process of inventing a bicycle is not yet complete. The Germans are considered one of the most progressive bicycle builders, and Germany is one of the key countries in the bicycle industry in Europe. It is in this country that the largest bicycle-related exhibitions are held, and from here the best copies are sent to international exhibitions. Just think about it - Germany has pavilions at 23 international exhibitions, their total area is almost 3 million square meters, and half of it is occupied by bicycles!

The Germans have a special, reverent attitude towards a two-wheeled vehicle. They themselves are happy to transfer from their comfortable German cars to bicycles at the slightest opportunity.

In a small area of ​​Germany, so many bicycle companies are concentrated that one can only be surprised. But two-wheeled transport for the Germans is more than just transport. This is part of the national idea. Among the variety of manufacturers, I would like to mention the best companies that enjoy a well-deserved reputation, producing the most reliable and stylish bicycles.

The company hails from Hamburg. The city has no mountains and extreme rough terrain, but this does not in the least prevent the company from producing beautiful mountain bikes of excellent quality. Part of the production is located, according to European and Western traditions, at the production sites of Taiwan and China, but the developments, details and complete quality control are invariably German.

This manufacturer has a lot of decent models. According to customer reviews, the Bergamont Fastlane Team is considered one of the best. This two-wheeled mountain bike has a carbon frame - lightweight and very durable. The suspension is thought out with German pedantry, and therefore the bike has high handling characteristics. Depreciation will not allow you to feel bumps and bumps on the road.

More than four decades ago, 13-year-old German resident Roman Arnold decided to get carried away by bicycle racing. At the same time, the teenager began selling bicycle parts directly from the trailer, as he did not have his own store. It all came to the fact that by adulthood, the young man opened his own company, Radsport Arnold. And a few years later the light saw the first two-suspension designed for cross-country skiing.

For Arnold, the frame has always been important. He tried to find materials that would make her light and durable at the same time. So, his company began to make bicycles with carbon frames, which Arnold called "ideal." Today, Canyon brand equipment is produced in workshops in Taiwan, but every stage of quality is tested by German engineers.

The best model of the company today is Ultimate CF SLX. This is a very light bike for comfortable riding. In it, every little thing is made to the highest level in compliance with strict requirements. The carbon frame is complemented by precise and responsive chassis, the security system is thought out to the smallest detail.

This is one of the most famous German bicycle manufacturers. Bicycles of this brand are the brainchild of an ordinary German student Marcus Pürner from Waldershof. If the young man had no financial problems, he would hardly have ever founded his famous enterprise. But there was nothing to pay the student for study, there was nothing to live on - and he borrowed money and bought the first batch of bicycle frames in Asia, collected simple bicycles from them and sold them. There was enough income to pay off debts, pay for studies and again buy spare parts in Asian countries.

Gradually, Marcus came to understand and clearly see what kind of bicycles he would like to produce.

The ranking of the best brand models is rightfully headed Cube Stereo 120 Super HPC Race. This is a very light bike with excellent stability, precise handling and thoughtful suspension.

The company has the widest selection of ladies', children's and teenage bicycles, models for professionals and amateurs. Manufacturers consider an important guideline the satisfaction of any rider's needs, and therefore the company produces urban, mountain, and hybrid models for every taste.

The company, which produces vehicles under this brand, was founded by a real athlete, a professional racer in 1992. Manufacturers make models of bicycles for any budget, but there is no doubt that even the most inexpensive models are made in good faith - efficiently and using innovative methods and technologies. It is this distinguishing feature that distinguishes the brand from among many competitors.Another feature is that all models are manufactured exclusively in Germany - the company does not trust production to other countries.

One of the best models is Focus Black Forest 29R 3.0. It has a light and durable frame made of high-grade aluminum alloy, 29-inch wheels and disc hydraulic brakes. This model easily overcomes any uneven terrain.

This German company began its work in 1993. Initially, all production was focused on the forge, and only 3 models were produced. But after 3 years, the range consisted of 12 models, and after a couple of years - from 25.

This brand with special awe belongs to the fair sex. For them, a whole line of bicycles is presented, on which you can ride at least in high heels, even in a dress. Not offended and men. Dozens of world competitions were won on the bikes of this German brand, which brought great fame to the brand itself.

The list of the best models of the manufacturer is rightfully headed Ghost HTX Lector 2977. This bike has been awarded the national title of best mountain model. The frame is made of carbon fiber. The model has a hydraulic brake system, an air-oil adjustable fork.

This brand is the youngest among all German bicycle manufacturers. He appeared in 2007. The first place in the company is raised by questions of interesting and unusual design. Glory came to the brand after several riders won the world tournaments on these bicycles. The company also fulfills a social mission - it has opened a sports school to prepare a worthy change for cyclists.

Among the ranking of models, it is worth giving first place Bulls Copperhead 3 27.5 RS. The easy and safe model, developing high speeds, is available in an unusual design solution. Like all other models of the brand, it is intended for lovers of originality.

Almost 3 decades ago, the company gave birth to two brothers, cyclists. They opened production in Hamburg. There is still the main office there, while the production is located in Taiwan.

The best manufacturer model to date is Stevens Sentiero. It is equipped with a frame made of light and high strength aluminum, semi-professional attachments and a hydraulic brake system.

A Bavarian manufacturer launches special bikes on the market. All their frame structures are welded not by the factory method, but manually. Welding places are subjected to special heat treatment, which increases their margin of safety several times.

Just as hard to choose the best German bike. Each of them is special. After all, buying a bicycle from a German manufacturer, you get a loyal and reliable "iron friend" who will be with you where the human foot has not stepped and the bicycle wheel has not passed. For Russian roads with their national characteristics, cycling from Germany is considered one of the most adapted and ideal.

The cost of German bicycles is higher than Russian, Chinese and Korean. But in general, it is quite accessible to a wide range of consumers. There are no problems with spare parts - they are in abundance. But for the spare parts themselves, there is no special need for a long time, bicycles from Germany rarely “present” their owners with unpleasant surprises in the form of unexpected breakdowns.
