Industry: Bicicletas
Bicycles are more than just a mode of transport or a healthy hobby—they are the result of decades of innovation where technology plays a crucial role in making them faster, safer, and more comfortable. At Goaltech Engineering Solutions, proud Siemens partners, we have witnessed and actively contributed to this digital revolution in the cycling industry.
The Challenge: Bringing the Bicycle from the Past into the Digital Future
Since Karl Drais invented the Draisine in 1817, bicycles have evolved dramatically. But the deepest transformation is not only in materials or classic design—it’s in how bicycles are developed today: through the power of simulation software and digital engineering.
Leading manufacturers like Trek, Cervelo, and Ridley rely on advanced solutions to optimize every detail—from aerodynamics to rider safety.
Our Solution: Siemens Software for 100% Digital Development
At Goaltech, we implement and support cycling brands with Siemens solutions that transform the design and validation process:
- GPU-accelerated Simcenter CFD: Enables simulation of airflow around frames and components, optimizing aerodynamics to reduce drag and increase speed. Trek, for example, uses these tools to analyze hundreds of configurations and perfect rider and accessory positioning.
- Structural simulation and impact testing: Using Simcenter technology, we perform advanced helmet impact and rotational analysis to maximize protection without sacrificing comfort or weight.
- Thermal and acoustic optimization: Software allows balancing ventilation and thermal comfort in helmets while reducing noise and vibrations in e-bikes for a quiet and enjoyable ride.
- Full system simulation: From ultra-light hydraulic transmissions to electric motors, digital tools enable the design of more efficient and reliable e-bikes, encouraging millions to adopt sustainable mobility.
Tangible Results: Innovation You Can Feel in Every Pedal Stroke
Thanks to these technologies, today’s bicycles are faster, safer, and more comfortable than ever. Advanced simulation reduces development time and costs, accelerates innovation, and improves the end-user experience.
Radiate Engineering & Design AG, for instance, optimized carbon monocoque wheels with Siemens software to reduce drag by 7% and increase stability in crosswinds—a decisive advantage for professional riders.
Why Goaltech and Siemens?
As strategic partners, Goaltech and Siemens provide the tools manufacturers need to lead the digital transformation in cycling. From CFD simulation to structural and acoustic analysis, the software enables agile, reliable, and data-driven development.
In Summary
