Every product we release is meticulously tested, ensuring it performs on all levels. A product simply meeting a set standard for fatigue, resistance and strength is not enough. Frames and components are also tested in the ‘real world’ across all conditions and terrain, facilitating development, delivering the best bikes possible.
Our test bed location is Calpe on the Costa Blanca in Spain. Calpe is known as a pro-cyclists playground during the winter due to it’s climate and roads, with many of the worlds top teams and riders basing themselves there during the winter months. On any given day you may see Jumbo Visma out training all decked beautifully in their Nimbl cycling shoes, or equally be passed by Pogacar, Van der Poel, or any other of the worlds top riders.
Our history there goes back over fifteen years, with many a winter spent in Calpe training for the upcoming season. For that reason we use those roads to test equipment, fine tune details, and draw inspiration for the future.
This January and February saw a number of Ride Fire owners descend on Calpe for some winter cycling sun, as well as a few riders making use of demo bikes to fine tune their own decisions whilst also getting some time in the legs.
Our teams knowledge of the area was put to good use by many a rider, and inspiration drawn for future Club Ride Fire offerings, so watch this space!
At Ride Fire we build performance bikes, with no shortcuts. Every detail matters. Join us, Ride Fire
