Design & Innovation Award 2018 – Highlight Video

The Design & Innovation Award (the DI.A) is more than just a title-giver or a round of applause for brands. It’s the definitive award that decisively tests products in the real world, assessing them in their entirety and reaching considered verdicts. This year once again saw select international journalists, professional test riders, and industry experts invest more than 6,000 hours of their time to partake in the DI.A process. The Design & Innovation Award is both a seal of approval and the benchmark achievement for the bike industry’s highest-performing products.

Since 2016, GRAN FONDO has stood for journalistic depth and full transparency in the drop-bar segment. Our awards are recognized worldwide as a benchmark for riders, retailers, and the industry alike. In our in-depth reviews and comparison tests, years of testing expertise flow into practical, independent product analysis.
