CeramicSpeed ​​this week on the world's leading Eurobike bicycle trade show in Germany introduced a new contactless and noiseless ultraproizvoditelny bike. Prototype Driven by name, which literally fascinated spectators, won the Eurobike Award among 365 other nominees.

Extremely light and durable bike.

"Our goal was clear: to design the most efficient transmission, which can be imagined. The site bicycle maker states that "in collaboration with the University of Colorado engineering department has created the concept of the drive the shaft, wherein the bearing 21 is used CeramicSpeed, and which establishes a new reference point as the most efficient transmission in the world. "

System 21 CeramicSpeed ​​Bearings, information on bicycle Driven, consists of a bearing 21, designed to increase its functionality and efficiency. These bearings "transmit the torque from the front wheel 13-speed gear mounted on the rear wheel."

Is controlled substantially by the system of cardan shafts and gears instead of traditional and somewhat inefficient models circuits and switches. The company claims that their new system "creates 49% less friction than the best systems, chain drives, which are available on the market."

The company achieved this by removing the eight factors that contribute to friction. Furthermore, replacement of the metal on the carbon chain driveshaft led to the creation of a bicycle with two-dimensional airfoil section, which reduces resistance and allows a lower weight.

Even more impressively, CeramicSpeed ​​conducted tests that showed that their model Driven reached maximum efficiency gains, compared to the conventional models of bicycles by 99%. It was also found that the system provides 32% less friction than Optimized CeramicSpeed ​​DA transmission technologies, and 49% less friction than Dura-Ace.

In fact, this is not the first model of this drive, which experimented with bicycle company. However, previous models have always shown less power than in this case.

Very robust construction actually.

CeramicSpeed ​​it is working with the University of Colorado engineering department over their bike Driven only nine months, and you can certainly expect a lot more improvements. The team is already exploring the integration of the propeller shaft in the frame, to further reduce wear.

The model still needs work, but, undoubtedly, CeramicSpeed ​​turns into something truly extraordinary. In fact, win the award Eurobike - this is no small achievement. The award is considered one of the most prestigious in the bicycle industry and the "objective assessment of the most advanced design bicycles."

Continuing the theme 7 motorcycles, each of which is worth no less than the brand new Ferrari and not only.
