What's the secret?
Science is needed
The biggest players in the industry boast about dedicating entire teams to research and development, but these "teams" are often more at the service of the marketing department, eager to renew models and impress consumers. Bicycle design doesn't need to rely on a large team, as long as key individuals have in-depth knowledge of the design and manufacturing processes. At Spherik, this expertise is based in particular on nine years of work at the French manufacturer Time, a benchmark for mastering computer-aided design tools and all stages of bicycle design, whether it is made of carbon fiber or aluminum tubes.
2. It takes hours in the saddle
The designers of Spherik bikes ride a lot. They accumulate hundreds of thousands of kilometers on different types of bikes, in all conditions, including 24 years of high-level competition on road, mountain, and triathlon. All those hours spent in the saddle allow them to understand the subtleties that shape a frame's character and optimize it for use on the road, in the snow, in the mountains, or against the clock.
3. It takes the best collaborators
Before designing the full-suspension mountain bike frame, Spherik's partners analyzed all suspension systems and the geometries of the most renowned models, in order to precisely define what they wanted for the future SMT model. To ensure they obtained a product perfectly faithful to their vision, they called upon an external consulting firm with solid expertise in mountain bike suspension and geometry. The collaboration between the two teams led to the creation of a full-suspension platform with optimized geometry to maximize its efficiency in all sizes, in both 29-inch and 27.5+ formats.
4. We need an out-of-the-box approach
The partners at Spherik had the wisdom to build their company gradually, without rushing things. They took advantage of the fatbike wave to establish their reputation before venturing into the production of road bikes and, more recently, mountain bikes. Each time, they hit the mark with products perfectly suited to their clientele. The Spherik team did not hesitate to innovate by implementing a sales structure that combines a store in Quebec City with a network of retailers elsewhere in Quebec and Canada. By demonstrating creativity in all areas of its activities, Spherik shows that it is possible to offer customers what they are looking for: a product as sophisticated and high-performing as those of major brands, but available at a more advantageous price.
