tout terrain´s touring system is the world’s first touring fork concept that integrates suspension fork, panniers and dynamo hub into one design, developed in collaboration with Maverick, Arkel and Schmidt Maschienenbau.
tout terrain´s touring system consists of the following components:
The design’s base is the suspension fork SC32T that can easily adapt to different load conditions (f.e. with or without baggage) by adjusting the fork’s air pressure which makes it ideal for touring and adventure cyclists.
The pannier’s triangular attachment system with its quick releases (Direct Pannier Mount – DPM) allows direct mounting of the panniers to the fork producing a design with one-of-a-kind stiffness.
Driven by this integration process the development of a new dynamo hub concept lead into the world’s first self contacting dynamo hub (Auto Contact Dynamo – ACD). When mounting the wheel there is automatically
contact between light system and dynamo hub. This allows easier wheel exchange and greatly reduces the risk of defects by eliminating connectors.
