M5 lanciert M5PRO.COM |
23. März 2010 |  |
Kunden aus der ganzen Welt können nun die M5 leichtgewicht Teile erfahren auf M5PRO.COM | ||
 An einem Freitagmorgen, um die Kaffeezeit herum wurde bei M5 die Idee der ersten Nabe geboren. Das Gewicht der Hülse und Achse war gerade einmal 19 Gramm. Die Lager brachten 10 Gramm in die Waagschale und die restlichen Teile gerade einmal 3 Gramm. Der 19.3.2010 ist daher ein symbolisches Eröffnungsdatum.Seit der ersten Nabe haben die Produkte viel von der Welt gesehen. Sie fanden schnell ihren Weg in die Rennradwelt. Auch Profirennfahrer wissen M5 zu schätzen. Auffallend ist, dass sie genau so viel bezahlen für ihre Komponenten wie die Leute auf der Straße. Dieses seeländische Marketing funktioniert: Die Komponenten sind offensichtlich gut genug, um Sponsoring Überflüssig zu machen. Die Produkte sind auch einzigartig. Sie werden komplett in den Niederlanden entworfen und produziert mit Luftfahrttechnik und -material: CAD und CNC-Aluminium (7075) sowie Carbon. Um die Produkte besser erhältlich zu machen, sind sie nun auf einer Seite zu finden: M5PRO.COM Auf dieser Seite sind alle Informationen über die Produkte zu finden. Außerdem kann man dort einfach (ohne Login) und sicher (im eigenen Bankumgebung) Produkte bestellen und bezahlen. | ||
We almost forgot, but... M5 Recumbents celebrates its 25th anniversary at the end of this year! |
5. August 2008 | |
Twenty-five years of development and production and a lot of (world) records! | ||
 Knowledge of materials, geometry, aerodynamics and ergonomics has been collected in the years since 1983. In the very first years M5 developed the notorious 28/20 and 28/26, which became swiftly an absolute norm in the early recumbent scene. These same bicycles can still be encountered on the road, but since then the assortment has been expanding significantly. Not only in terms of model types, but also in materials. In the early years M5 was already unique in using chrome molybdenum alloy as frame material. In the years that followed titanium and carbon was integrated increasingly in the designs. Apart from (and thanks to) the ongoing insistence to innovate, numerous national, European en world records have been set with both recumbents and handbikes. The truly unique of this situation is that the design, the construction and the records themselves were usually done by one person (Bram Moens)! Through the years an increasing number of other people established records on M5 Recumbents as well. A remarkable facts is that all these records have been set while riding perfectly normal production bikes! Still available for everyone! The design and construction of the record fairings was always in coorporation with rowingbike builder Derk Thijs from Middelburg. Derk had more experience with working with plastics and fibers, while Bram had more routine with light weight steel constructions. Combining both skills let to a successful collaboration and nowadays they're both highly experienced with these different routines. Because of the ongoing search to other, better solutions and meaterials M5 still belongs to the top of recumbent manufacturers in the world. Important aspect is integrating existing first-rate technologies in the recumbent and component range, like the extremely light weight carbon and aluminium parts. The future? Continue the development! Were innovation will lead to is hard to tell. Who would have suspected ten years ago that M5 should be developing and producing the lightest bike components in the world? But meanwhile the M5 lightweight components are applied on a wide range of high end bicycles, like racing and MTB bikes and recumbents. | ||
