Contra Bikes on Making the MC a Reality
Manage episode 380973043 series 2517010
The Contra MC — a US-made, steel, high-pivot Enduro bike — is an ambitious project by any measure, and designing and prototyping the bike is just half the battle. So we brought Evan Turpen, the driving force behind Contra, back on the show to talk about refining a prototype design and knowing when to stop tinkering; what goes into bringing a design to production and the challenges that arise from that; what he’s learned along the way; and a whole lot more.
TOPICS & TIMES:
The MC (2:55)
Design refinement & knowing when to stop tweaking (4:29)
Ramping up to production (17:26)
Tooling and streamlining the process (32:14)
UDH compatibility & the SRAM Transmission (45:36)
The Beyond Racing team & the DH bike prototypes (52:49)
Future refinements (1:04:15)
