Design & Innovation Award 2022 for the Rapcon

Intuitive handling and clean design: The Rapcon has both – and thus well deserved the popular award! The coveted award has been presented to the best bikes on the scene since 2013. And every year, the participating bikes are closely examined and tested.

What winning bikes look like: modern frame geometry ensures agile riding performance

Anyone who rides on natural trails knows how important agility and freedom of movement are. The SIMPLON Rapcon makes it easy to master challenging trails. The rider remains in control even during rapid turning manoeuvres. That’s possible thanks to its modern frame geometry with a low seat tube, which guarantees maximum freedom of movement. The chainstays, which grow with the bike, ensure balanced handling. The mountain bike is available with either 150 millimetres or 165 millimetres of suspension travel.

Tip: In our configurator, you can find all the customisation options available for the Rapcon.

The jury of the Design & Innovation Award consists of 30 renowned international experts. Every year, journalists, test riders and engineers take a lot of time to break through classic thought patterns and look at the bikes from different perspectives.
