So Trek spends a lot of time with athletes to figure out where to make critical changes, including tweaks to geometry and the flexibility of the frame and taking the edge off of bumps. To improve performance, the bikes need to feel a certain way, whether riders are taking it on the road or the trail. Then, they build prototypes and iterate the design as needed. To kick off the product design process, the team starts with user research to generate early design concepts and develop a range of ideas. The designers and engineers are further enhancing their workflows using NVIDIA RTX technology in Dell Precision workstations, including the NVIDIA RTX A5500 GPU, as well as a Dell Precision 7920 running dual RTX A6000 GPUs. To address this, the team at Trek is using NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs to run high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, setting new benchmarks for aerodynamics in a bicycle that’s also comfortable to ride and handles smoothly. Many of the team’s accessories and equipment, such as the wheels and road race helmets, were also designed at Trek.īicycle design involves complex physics - and a key challenge is balancing aerodynamic efficiency with comfort and ride quality. The team is competing in the annual Tour de France stage race on Trek Bicycle’s flagship lineup, which includes the Emonda, Madone and Speed Concept. With its new partner Lidl, an international retailer chain, Trek Bicycle also owns a cycling team, now called Lidl-Trek. The Wisconsin-based company, one of the largest bicycle manufacturers in the world, aims to create bikes with the highest-quality craftsmanship.
