DAHON Reveals Breakthrough 'V-Tech' Speed Technology at Taipei Cycle Show 2024
At the forefront of the exhibition, DAHON's founder, Dr. David T. Hon, introduced the 'DAHON V Tech' to an enthusiastic audience. This technology stems from DAHON's commitment to innovation in the folding bicycle space. Dr. Hon's R&D team has uncovered a significant leap in performance; their enhanced folding bikes now surpass the speed of many traditional road and mountain bikes.
'DAHON V Tech' addresses widespread design inefficiencies in bike frames that lead to power loss during pedaling. Through structural physics, finite element analysis, and advanced strain gauge testing, DAHON has redefined frame stiffness and efficiency, delivering a universally faster ride across all bicycle types.
DAHON has established an advanced methodology to refine their "V Tech," focusing on structural physics, finite element analysis, strain gauge assessments, and innovative frame stiffness evaluation during pedaling. Dr. Hon has released one academic paper detailing this technology on the DAHON website, with three more papers scheduled for release later this year.
To further attract industry attention, DAHON also launched a thrilling "Cycling Challenge", showing the prowess of its 'V Tech' speed technology which garnered wide attention throughout the event.
At the competition, participants raced on various DAHON bikes, including models with the new technology, across two categories with differentiated slopes and distances.
The competition featured six bikes, including three utilizing "DAHON V Tech": the latest DAHON 700C road bike, P18 aluminum folding bike, and P18 carbon fiber folding bike. The competition was divided into two categories: Professional (slope: 4.2%, distance: 500m) and Standard (slope: 1.4%, distance: 500m).
Over the course of three days, competitor Mr. Zhang triumphed in the Professional category, earning a US$2,000 prize for his remarkable 5-minute and 41-second cumulative time. The DAHON 700C road bike emerged as the fastest, underscoring the technology's capability.
Exhibition Standouts and Product Highlights
The range of products featuring 'V Tech', includes:
