Abstract: A bicycle component for an at least partially human-powered bicycle has a shock absorber device. The shock absorber device includes a damper device which can be controlled by a control device. A detection device is provided with a sensor device for receiving a signal. The sensor device is arranged on at least one component of the bicycle which is pivoted in the case of a steering movement. The detection device is suitable for detecting, and is designed to detect, the difficulty in the terrain as a function of the acquired signal, and is configured to control the damper device as a function of the detected difficulty in the terrain, with the result that a damping property of the damper device can be adjusted by way of a signal of the detection device.

Abstract: A chassis controller and method for controlling the damping of a human-powered two-wheeled vehicle having a controllable shock absorber and a control device and a memory device. A sensor device acquires measurement data sets relating to a relative movement of two connecting units of the shock absorber with respect to one another. A filter device pre-processes the measurement data sets. Multiple data sets are stored in the memory device. A data set, derived from a measurement data set acquired with the sensor device during the relative movement of the connecting units is stored and an analysis device analyzes a stored data set. A filter parameter set is determined based on the analysis, and a control data set is derived with the filter parameter set. The control device controls the shock absorber with the control data set.

Abstract: A suspension control system and a method for controlling a damper device of a bicycle include a damper device and a spring device for sprung damping of a relative motion between a first and a second component of the bicycle. The suspension device has a spring unit exhibiting a spring characteristic, and the damper device exhibits a damping characteristic. The spring characteristic of the spring unit is changed under the control of an electrically operated actuator, which in turn is controlled via an electric control device.

Abstract: A chassis controller controls a shock absorber of a bicycle for spring-assisted damping of a relative movement between a first and a second connecting unit. A damper device and a spring device absorb shocks between the connecting units. A sensor device acquires measurement data relating to a relative movement of the connecting units. A control device controls the shock absorber. The sensor device has a scaling device connected to one of the connecting units and the sensor device extends over a measuring section in a direction of movement of the relative movement. The scaling device has a structure with magnetic properties that repeat periodically over the measuring section. The sensor device has a detector head which interacts with the scaling device, is connected to the other of the connecting units and determines a position of the shock absorber.

Abstract: A fork component is provided for an at least partially muscle-powered vehicle and in particular a bicycle having a fork column unit of a fibrous composite material. The fork column unit includes a fork column and a fork crown configured as two separate parts connected with one another by form-fit to form the fork column unit.

Abstract: A suspension fork for a bicycle includes at least one stanchion tube and at least one slider tube interacting therewith and a wheel receiving space adjacent thereto. The suspension fork includes a damper system with a damper chamber divided into a first chamber and a second chamber by a movable piston. The suspension fork further includes a damping device for the rebound stage and a damping device for the compression stage are provided. A shut-off valve is provided for selectively locking the rebound stage. The damper chamber comprises a connecting duct with a flow damper that connects the second chamber with the first chamber when the stanchion tube and the slider tube interacting therewith are compressed more than a predefined distance such that in the case of a forceful compression and with the shut-off valve of the rebound stage activated, slow decompression is allowed up to a damper position as defined by the predetermined distance.
