Simplon Innovations at Eurobike Frankfurt 2025: Carbon Technology and Customization
Eurobike Frankfurt 2025 provided Simplon, an Austrian manufacturer renowned for its high-quality construction and advanced use of carbon, with the opportunity to present the latest evolutions of its range. The focus was on refining existing platforms and introducing innovations that improve the weight-to-stiffness ratio, component integration, and customization options.
Road Range: Lightness and Aerodynamic Integration
Simplon presented significant refinements to its road models, with an emphasis on weight reduction and aerodynamic optimization, while maintaining the torsional stiffness that characterizes the brand.
Aero and Lightweight Platforms (e.g., Pride II, Rapcon Aero): These models received updates aimed at further improving aerodynamic efficiency. Tube shapes have been redefined through CFD analysis to minimize drag, with particular attention to the front area (fork, downtube, handlebar). Cable integration is now a standard feature, with solutions allowing for completely internal routing for both aesthetic and functional cleanliness.
Carbon Construction: 'Hot Melt' Process: Simplon highlighted the continued use of its proprietary "Hot Melt" process for carbon lamination. This method, which involves the use of pre-impregnated resins and precise hot curing, allows for frames with optimized fiber density, greater strength at equal weight, and better structural homogeneity, contributing to the remarkable stiffness and responsiveness of Simplon bicycles.
Optimized Geometries: The geometries of the road frames have been calibrated to offer a balance between responsiveness and stability, suitable for both competitions and long rides. Attention to detail is reflected in different sizes that maintain consistent proportions for riders of different heights.
E-Bike Range: Performance and Integrated Design
In the e-bike sector, Simplon continued to develop solutions that combine powerful motors with a discreet design and high integration, focusing on performance and autonomy.
E-Trekking and E-Urban (e.g., Chenoa Bosch CX): Simplon's e-trekking and e-urban models benefit from advanced integration of the motor-battery system. Batteries, often with high capacities (e.g., 750 Wh), are fully integrated into the downtube, contributing to a low center of gravity and a clean aesthetic. Bosch (Performance Line CX) or Shimano motors are calibrated for smooth and quiet power delivery, ensuring ample range for commuting or touring.
E-MTB (e.g., Rapcon Pmax): Simplon's full-suspension e-MTBs have seen further refinement of suspension kinematics to adapt to the added weight and power of the motor, ensuring excellent traction and control on technical terrain. Geometries are aggressive, with slack head tube angles and optimized chainstay lengths for downhill stability and climbing capability.
Componentry and Customization (Simplon Individual System - SIS)
A key strength of Simplon's offering is the customization system that allows customers to configure their bicycle according to specific needs.
Online Configurator: Simplon reiterated the value of its online configurator, which allows choosing from a wide range of groupsets (Shimano, SRAM), wheels (DT Swiss, Mavic, Fulcrum), handlebars, stems, saddles, and tires. This modular approach ensures that each bicycle is custom-assembled.
Proprietary and Third-Party Components: Bicycles are often equipped with high-quality components, both Simplon's proprietary parts (e.g., optimized carbon handlebars and stems) and those from renowned brands, selected for their performance and reliability.
Paint Finishes and Aesthetics: New color and finish options were presented, with the possibility for customers to select aesthetic details, always maintaining Simplon's high quality standards.
Simplon's presentations at Eurobike 2025 highlighted the brand's strategy to offer high-performance bicycles, both traditional and electric, with a strong emphasis on innovation in carbon processing, technological integration, and extensive customization to meet the demands of discerning customers.
