Test winner Elektrorad 03/21
Many bikes do not have suspension forks or rear suspension, which makes them rather uncomfortable to ride. A good suspension seat post does not cost the earth and can be installed quickly and easily yourself. When you go on a ride, you will immediately feel the difference and will never want to be without this newfound comfort again!

RADMARKT 4/2019: “Stem in new construction”
This article, published on November 16, 2018, by RadMarkt on their website https://radmarkt.de/nachrichten/byschulz-wachstum-erfordert-umzug, discusses how our company continues to grow and therefore needs to move to new and larger premises. Text and photo by Jo Beckendorff.
The breakthrough came in 2006 with the Speedlifter Twist, which, in addition to tool-free handlebar height adjustment, offers the added benefit of a space-saving twist function. This opened the door to OEMs.

Recommendation Aktiv Radfahren 5/2020
by,schulz SDS – Clean cockpit
SDS stands for “Stem Docking System” and describes a product group consisting of specially developed stem caps for centrally organizing all kinds of gadgets such as speedometers, GPS devices, lights, cameras, and even e-bike displays. The screw-on design in solid aluminum also makes the whole thing 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 that 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
Keeping track of time – Speedlifter A-Head Clock
If you want to check the time while riding, you usually do so using your speedometer, GPS, or sports watch. However, Speedlifter offers a much simpler and more elegant solution.
The existing A-Head cap on the stem is replaced with a CNC-milled aluminum model that holds a waterproof analog watch. The watch is secured with a screw mount. The cover is available in ten different colors and can be customized to match the color scheme of the bike.
Test winner Aktiv Radfahren 9-10/2018

by,schulz packaging concept
Sustainability is more important than ever before. That is why the packaging is produced locally and does not contain any plastic. The fully recyclable packaging holds the product securely in place and protects it during transport. The packaging for all products has been deliberately designed to be simple and uniform in shape for ease of recognition, while avoiding any special effects. The open design allows the product to be seen and touched, while the graphic design reflects the product and conveys the brand and quality. The variable use of packaging for different products and models saves resources.
Award criteria
- degree of innovation
- Choice of material
- Sustainability
Jury Statement
No plastic! That is the main theme behind the concept for the new by,schulz packaging series. But environmental protection goes further: the cardboard comes from sustainable sources and the printing is carried out by companies in the region. All in all, a thoroughly successful approach to environmental protection.
Eurobike Award Winner 2018
D.2 ST-Ri dropper seat post
The D.2 The ST-Ri dropper seat post combines comfort and safety in a unique way. By combining the proven by,schulz parallelogram suspension with remote-controlled lowering of the seat post, it offers a quick change between ergonomic seating comfort and a secure standing position at traffic lights. It is designed for both urban use and sporty off-road use. The lowering mechanism (gas pressure spring) is controlled by a lever on the handlebars. The cable can be routed either through or outside the frame. Thanks to the high-quality bearings in the height adjustment mechanism (100 mm), the D.2 ST-Ri seat post is low-maintenance and virtually play-free.
Award criteria
- Functionality
- Choice of material
- added value
Jury Statement
This safe and practical seat post has been developed for urban cyclists. A lever allows the saddle to be lowered at traffic lights, for example, and then returned to its original position when you are ready to continue your journey. The suspension also ensures comfort. This seat post could therefore help to motivate more people to cycle.
Eurobike Award Winner 2016
