RPK Group Showcases Innovations at Eurobike 2024
Our colleagues Álvaro García, Iñigo Fernández de la Peña and Jon de la Presa were in Frankfurt last week for Eurobike.
Last week, RPK Group had the privilege of participating in Eurobike 2024, the premier event for the global cycling industry, held in Frankfurt, Germany. Eurobike 2024 provided an invaluable opportunity for networking and collaboration. We engaged with a wide range of experts, gaining insights into the cycling industry's latest trends and future directions.
One of the highlights of our presence at Eurobike was demonstrating our customizable solutions in springs and stamping & bending for the bike sector. We showcased how our components and systems can be tailored to meet the unique needs of different cyclists and applications. The flexibility and personalization options we offer were highly appreciated by manufacturers and retailers looking for custom solutions.
Wave Springs and bike applications
A standout solution that captured significant attention was our application of wave springs in specific cycling components. This innovative approach offers several advantages over traditional compression or conical springs, including space and weight reduction, ensuring 100% axial load transmission, greater surface contact, reduced non-axial forces, and enhanced fatigue resistance as demonstrated by RPK Group.
As we move forward, we remain committed to driving the future of cycling with our innovative solutions. We thank everyone who hosted us and shared their insights and experiences with us. We are excited about the potential partnerships and projects that will emerge from this incredible event.
