A journey through the Experience Center

Feel and experience true bike craftmanship first-hand

“Born & raised in Austria” – SIMPLON’s motto and the associated passion for bicycles can be felt all around at the company headquarters in Hard: Employees who live and breathe cycling. Premises that allow for a 360-degree brand experience. And bikes that are as unique and extraordinary as their future owners. 

At the Experience Center, visitors can immerse themselves in the world of SIMPLON and let high-performance handcrafted bikes inspire them. Go on a journey with us … from the vision and initial idea of a perfect bike to its realisation! And in between? There’s a lot to discover and experience – promise!   

New since 2022: From now on, you can feel the SIMPLON spirit on 270 square metres at the expanded Experience Center!

You’ve been dreaming about getting a new road bike for a while now. One that is perfectly adjusted to your needs and wishes. One that’s practically the equivalent of a tailor-made suit. Then it’s about time to dive into the world of SIMPLON and find your dream bike. All you need to do is book one of the much sought-after appointments at the Experience Center online right away. 

Here’s how easy it is: 

1. Use the new appointment scheduling tool to select the location in Hard.
2. Road bike, e-road bike, mountain bike, e-mountain bike or trekking bike – depending on your preference, you can test up to two bikes. Just select the desired model(s)! 
3. Have you found a model you want to test? Then secure yourself an appointment at the Experience Center right away! Please note: Fields marked in green indicate which days and time slots are still available.
4. In the last step, you can select your consultation package including body scanning and enter your personal information.
5. Now complete the booking process, and soon you’ll be able to test and fall in love with your dream bike right on site!  

What happens after body scanning? You hop on the bike and test it on the rollers. Cameras scan your motion sequences which allows us to finetune certain nuances. With MTBs, special attention is also paid to the detailed adjustment of the fork and shocks.

Now the time has finally come: With the help of the collected data, you will configure your very own SIMPLON bike together with our experts.

Once your bike has been configured, you can finally take it for a test ride. And that even comes with a nice bonus: The scenery surrounding Lake Constance is varied and absolutely idyllic! For those who need assistance with route guidance, a GPS device is mounted on the bike. Depending on the type of bike and your route preferences, we will send you on a route tested by our Experience Center team. Also included: an energy drink and food for the road.

After a wonderful tour during which you have extensively tested the bike, it’s time for feedback. Based on this, our experts adjust the settings once again.
