We work hard at improving our reputation. Every day. The results show in award-winning products which are innovative, robust, made to last, comfortable and light weight. We want to be good at how we cooperate and treat each other, and we set high standards: our own.
Therefore, most of our production steps take place in Germany. Regarding our suppliers we put special emphasis on environmental issues and exemplary work safety. Our social involvement includes employment of handicapped people, supporting a programme for resocializing prisoners, sponsoring the local art association (Westfälischer Kunstverein), and supporting social and environmental projects. The company grounds offer space for traditional fruit trees and wild flower species providing room for our own bee colonies. Our products‘ lives are not quite as pleasant: we torture them around the clock in our test laboratories.
Think it through, develop, design. Make it, test it, optimize it. Our creative team of a dozen of product developers at our German headquarters in Muenster are full of ideas and energy. Consequently we are not only the pioneers but also the main innovators in the bike industry constantly offering new path-breaking products.
Just as e.g. our latest collection of bags in racktime quality: Since design and product development are all happening in our company we can guarantee that each individual racktime system solution is well thought through and well made, just the way you are used to it.
Besides launching new products and continuously perfecting existing carriers and transport system solutions we are constantly working on developing innovative, efficient and environmentally friendly production methods: Of course we are equipped with top modern high tech machines and apparatuses in order to be ahead of time.
riding across bumpy cobblestone roads, sliding on snow, slush and road salt, exhaust fumes, gravel, strong sun, continuous rain. Your bike’s life is sometimes quite hard. That is what we know. Therefore all our carriers, bags, baskets accessories are designed for tough use in daily life. No matter what your plans are, racktime products will come along and will look good. Because they are sturdy, long-lived and easy to care for.
We manufacture all samples and prototypes in our company in order to ensure this without any restrictions. Our tests are quite tough: In our in-house test center we first check and test the material and then the finished product. Our test mechanics rattle and shake each racktime product in accordance with ISO 11243:2016 until it is ready for the market. And far beyond these requirements: ready for dirt road and cobblestone alleys.
We are not satisfied with fulfilling all DIN and ISO requirements but go far beyond these standards and simulate the actual stresses of a long bicycle life - of course fully loaded. Products bearing the name racktime must withstand a decent proportion of oscillating and vibrating with a smile.
