In association with Tesla, an experienced team of riders, designers and engineers across all sectors of the cycling world put in two weeks of ‘in-field’ or rather up-and-down Kronplatz Mountain testing via Alpine trails, lonely gravel roads and legendary Alpine passes. This rigorous field test, as part of 6000 working hours in total, is focused on “deciphering whether a product embodies genuine innovation or merely shimmers with marketing hype… a task that we doggedly pursue so that ultimately you get a better ride, and that you’re able to work out what equipment and what products are the right ones for your ride.”

AIRLOK
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] The verdict on AIRLOK was that our Secure Bike Hanger is “Surely the most aesthetically pleasing way to secure your bike.” Judges praised the combination of maximum security with our eye-catching design. “…be confident that it’ll be a hard nut for any potential robber to crack. Little needs to be said in terms of its aesthetics: it’s a practical product that will appeal to the design-savvy and safety-conscious (or just work in a living room if your bike is sufficiently good-looking).” [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://hiplok.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Hiplok-Z-LOK-Design-Innovation-Award-2018_opt-1.jpg” animation=”off” admin_label=”Image” alt=”Design-Innovation-Award”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”]
Z LOK
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] Judges described our Z LOK as “lightweight, affordable and damn practical” and praised the peace of mind given from taking a Z LOK on a ride. “They can relieve a decent portion of stress while you nip into the bar to buy a post-ride beer. With no excuses that they won’t fit in your backpack or jersey pocket…” [/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=”Code”][/et_pb_code][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] http://design-innovation-award.com/ [/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=”Code”][/et_pb_code][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
