How Orbea Mountain Bikes Can Offer A Lifetime Guarantee
Strength, longevity and durability are words that have come to be synonymous with the frames on Orbea mountain bikes. They even come with a lifetime guarantee. It is this added value that keeps Orbea Mountain bikes a popular and respected choice amongst consumers. But surely it is a business risk to offer a lifetime guarantee? Not so if like Orbea you can be certain that you’re making the very best product there is.
Orbea mountain bikes’ quality controls are known for being strict. As well as testing for compliance with regulations such as European Norms, they employ their own strict guidelines. If a bike frame doesn’t pass the test, it goes back into development until it does. Only after passing the tests are the frames released with the Orbea mountain bikes guarantee.
Of all the tests that the bike frames undergo at Orbea mountain bikes’ laboratories, static load and fatigue testing come first. In a static load test, a significant amount of weight is applied continuously to a particular part of the frame. Fatigue testing involves applying a smaller amount of weight to a point hundreds of times. Tests like these give an indication fo who rigid the frames are.
Next frontal collision testing takes place: this is comparable to the sorts of crash tests performed on cars. Because mountain bikes are expected to perform continuously over rough and uneven terrain, they are also tested for their ability to withstand sudden drops. Frame rigidity is then tested yet again in a lateral hit simulation.
As well as being tested for durability, frames are tested for their ability to withstand the elements and are therefore subject to corrosion testing. In these most rigorous of tests, the frames are kept inside a chamber with a temperature of 35 °C with water vapour at 5% of salinity. Only after the frames have withstood 1000 hours in the chamber will they be declared corrosion resistant enough to pass the stringent tests. The last test checks for signs of sun deterioration under infra-red light. Should there be any deterioration, the material is reformulated.
