Recommendation Radfahren 04/23

Our manufactured D.2 ST-Ri dropper post received a seal of recommendation in the practical test of the Radfahren magazine (issue 04/23)

Test winner Elektrorad 03/21

Our manufactured G.2 ST seatposts are test winners in the seatpost test of Elektrorad Magazin (issue 03/21)

"Many bikes have neither suspension forks nor rear suspension, making them rather uncomfortable to ride. A good suspension support doesn't cost the earth and can be installed quickly and easily. You'll immediately feel the "aha" effect on tour and won't want to miss out on the newfound comfort!"

Test winner Radfahren 03/21

Our manufactured G.2 ST seatposts are test winners in the seatpost test conducted by Radfahren magazine (issue 03/21)

VSF all-ride Quality seal 2020-2023

Our manufactured G.2 seatposts have been awarded the VSF all-ride quality seal.

Suspension seat posts can be a real help: The more upright the riding position, the greater the strain on the back and spine from road shocks. Suspension noticeably increases riding and sitting comfort and prevents discomfort.

Recommendation Aktiv Radfahren 5/2020

by,schulz SDS – Clean cockpit
SDS stands for “Stem Docking System” and describes a product group based around specially developed stem caps to centrally organize all kinds of gadgets such as speedometer, GPS, light, camera and even e-bike displays. Thanks to the bolted design in solid aluminum, the whole thing is also extremely stable and secure. The stem cap is the central component into which various links and adapters are inserted. Positioning is quick and easy using a single screw, which is tightened at the front. By using a double link, a navigation device can be positioned directly in front of the stem in the perfect field of vision. A light or camera can be mounted underneath.

Recommendation Aktiv Radfahren 5/2019

The time at a glance – Speedlifter A-Head Clock
If you want to check the time while riding, you usually use a speedometer, GPS or sports watch. However, the Speedlifter version is much simpler and more elegant.
The existing A-head cap on the stem is replaced by a model made of CNC-milled aluminum, which accommodates a waterproof analog clock. The watch is fixed in place using a screw mount. The cover is available in ten different colors and can be adapted to the color theme of the bike.

Test winner Aktiv Radfahren 9-10/2018

16 seatposts in direct test and comparison.
The by,schulz G.2 LT is the test winner

Eurobike Award

Eurobike Award Winner 2023

by,schulz DG-BO Seatpost Tool

The DG-BO Seat post Tool (DG – diameter gauge, BO – bottle opener) from by,schulz is a technically high-quality, precisely implemented inner diameter gauge made of anodized aluminium for bikes. The easy-to-read scale is laser-cut into milled pockets in the large cylindrical steps and is therefore visible even after years of use. A hole in the head of the gauge allows it to be placed on the tool wall where it is easy to reach. A stainless steel bottle opener is cleverly integrated for after-work beers.
No service workshop should be without this easy-to-use TOOL. The ideal gift for bike freaks!
Note: also suitable for non-alcoholic drinks!

Jury Statement

With the extremely precise and robust DG-BO Seat post Tool, the inner diameter of the seat post can be determined exactly. Thanks to the use of aluminum, the tool has a very high-quality appearance compared to many other plastic gauges and has a great feel. The idea of integrating a bottle opener into the tool is original, making it even more frequently used.

Eurobike Award Winner 2019

by,schulz Packaging concept

Sustainability is a big issue today more than ever. For this reason, the packaging is produced locally and does not contain any plastic materials. The completely recyclable packaging holds the product securely in position and serves as protection during transportation. The packaging for all products was deliberately developed with a simple design and a uniform shape for the purpose of recognition, while at the same time avoiding effect finishing. The open design allows the product to be seen and touched, the graphic design picks up on the product and conveys the brand and quality. The variable use of the packaging for different products and models saves resources

Award criteria

  • Degree of innovation
  • Choice of material
  • Sustainability

Jury Statement

No plastic! This is the main theme of the concept behind the new by,schulz packaging range. But environmental protection goes further: the cardboard comes from sustainable sources and the printing is done by companies in the region. All in all, successful environmental protection.

Eurobike Award Winner 2018

D.2 ST-Ri dropper seatpost

The D.2 ST-Ri dropper seat post combines comfort and safety in a unique way. By combining the proven by,schulz parallelogram suspension with a remote-controlled lowering of the seatpost, it offers a quick change between ergonomic seating comfort and a secure stand at traffic lights. It is designed for both urban and sporty off-road use. The lowering mechanism (gas pressure spring) is controlled via a lever on the handlebars. The cable can be routed either through or outside the frame. The D.2 ST-Ri seatpost is low-maintenance and virtually play-free thanks to the high-quality bearing of the height adjustment (100 mm).

Award criteria

  • Functionality
  • Choice of material
  • Added value

Jury Statement

This safe and practical seat post has been developed for urban cyclists. The saddle can be lowered with a lever at traffic lights, for example, and then returned to its original position for the onward journey. The suspension also ensures comfort. This seat post could therefore help to motivate more people to cycle.

Eurobike Award Winner 2016

Stem Twist SDS

The 1 1/8″ A-head stem can be rotated to a 90° parking position in seconds and without tools. When turning back, the locking bolt engages exactly in the riding position and the bike is ready for use again after closing the quick-release lever. With optional SDS adapters, various devices can be easily and neatly mounted on the stem clamping plate.

Award criteria

  • Functionality

Jury Statement

This is a very useful innovation that makes it much easier to transport and park bikes in a matter of seconds.
