All steering systems and all ergotec stems are tested without exception and are then classified with a SAFETY LEVEL. All ergotec seatposts also have a SAFETY LEVEL. Irrespective of whether you ride a mountain bike, an e-bike or a touring bike – you will always get the exact component with safety certification you need.
ergotec SAFETY LEVEL is a safety classification for steering systems and seatposts on bicycles. ergotec products have a SAFETY LEVEL of 1 to 6. The higher the level, the greater the safety. Each level has their suggested bike activity, from city to cargo.
All handlebars and stems are subjected to hard long-term testing individually and in combination. The same applies for seatposts. This testing is carried out in accordance with European testing standards or even higher demands.
No other bike handlebar manufacturer in Europe has as large a testing centre as we do at ergotec. Furthermore, our products are tested frequently at recognised independent institutions.
