Never oil a chain again!
We use the new carbon-reinforced GATES toothed belt - no oil or grease, long-lasting and stands up to power surges.
You can combine our toothed-belt drive with all commonly available hub gears.
Unique:
With our folding seatpost, even after unfolding, the saddle position remains unaltered.
No more annoying time-wasting while you adjust the saddle.
What's more, we use standard-sized parts so that you can use the most suitable seatpost.
Owing to our handlebar stem clamp, the handlebars and the stem adjustment remain unaltered even after folding!
You can mount any handlebar shape the way you want and always fold it in without difficulty.
Our BERNDS-Folding Tandem Lowstep has the only hinged joint in our range:
unique because of its interlocking blades and particularly robust and safe.
Consequently, the Lowstep tandem fits in the boot of a VW Golf - without even folding the rear seat down!
Why make it heavy and complicated, if you can make it light and simple? We build our tried and tested, maintenance-free spring and damper block into all BERNDS bikes. The rubber-based material has ideal characteristics: high self-damping properties and constant suspension characteristics!
Just a small BERNDS detail - but it shows our love of perfection:
We have bent our mudguard stays because that way they are especially flexible and stable - and they look elegant into the bargain.
Our BERNDS rear sub-frame is open on the chain side. This method of construction which is also used on motorcycles not only looks good, when it comes to cleaning or a repair, it has a priceless advantage:
you can take the chain off all in one piece without undoing it.
Our headset ingeniously combines the advantages of the Ahead method of construction with those of a classic bolted headset.
SIMPLE: only 4 steps - the "Usability" test winner!
QUICK: Fold it up or unfold it in just 10 seconds - without adjusting the handlebars or saddle!
SAFE: Even before the quick-release catches are closed, everything is in its right place- no catches have load-bearing functions
For all those who like just that bit more responsiveness:
we have specially developed a modified booster for the hydraulic rim brake (HS33)!
BERNDS has done some extra thinking on the matter:
When being applied, the front brake is pressed between the forks and is held firmly in place. As a result it doesn't squeak and is easier to modulate and adjust.
One of the little details which make all the difference:
our patented rear light bracket made of spring steel ensures secure and simple mounting of the rear light - even if you happen to be out riding without mudguards or luggage rack, you will still be safe in traffic.

Our patented rear light bracket made of spring steel is fixed to a special attachment on the rear sub-frame or on the cantilever brake boss. Since it is also outstandingly suited to mountainbikes it is also marketed through Busch & Müller, the market leader for lighting requisites.
