This video shows the frame fatigue and pedalling forces. A 1100 N force is appplied on the pedals of the bicycle for 100,000 cycles in compliance of ISO 4210.

In this video you see the ISO 4210 Falling mass frame impact for City and Trekking type bicycles. The frame and fork assembly is placed in a monorail drop impact tower, and impacted at 180mm height with a 22.5 kg weight.

A 620 Newton upwards and downwards force is applied to the aluminum racing bicycle fork in the plane of the wheel.   The fork steerer tube is held fixed as it would be installed into the actual bicycle frame. After running 100,000 cycles, the fork should not exhibit any failures of cracking or fracturing.

In this video, we analysis the impact of a bicycle helmet when dropped on a flat impact anvil. An Accelerometer was placed to measure the peak acceleration (G-force).

In this video shows part of the CPSC 1203 Helmet tests, in this case, we test to see if the helmet is able to stay on a person's head. For this test an strap is hooked over the front edge of the helmet, and a 4 kg weight is dropped from a height of 0.6 [...]

Continuing with the CPSC 1203 Helmet tests, in this section, we measure the amount of stretch in the straps. In this instance, a technician attached the helmet chin straps to a 4 kg weight roller bar assembly. When the weight drops a laser measuring device collects data regarding the amount of expand the straps experienced.

In this video, we analysis the impact of a bicycle helmet when dropped from a 1.2 meter height into a curb impact anvil. An Accelerometer was placed to measure the peak acceleration (G-force). A peak G-force inside the helmet should not exceed 300 g. in accordance of CPSC 1203.

When conducting bicycle helmets impact attenuation testing  we employ multiple anvils types. In this instance, a hemispherical impact anvil is placed at a 1.2 meter height. When using flats anvils, we perform the test dropping the helmet from a 2 meter height.

In our testing laboratories, we use ICP Machines to test for the chemical makeup of a wide range of products. The ICP Machine transforms acid solutions containing samples of the testing product into plasma, after that,  the machine is able to identify and measure various elements that are present in the original sample.

We are able to conduct a wide range of tests for a variety of helmet types. In this video, we perform a helmet penetration test. A 3 kg pointed steel striker is dropped from a 3-meter height. The steel striker should not touch the headform inside the helmet after the drop in accordance with FMVSS [...]
