“And the ‘Bike Oscar’ goes to TOGU Bike Balance Board – Enduro Mountainbike Magazine awards the Design & Innovation Award (DI.A) to TOGU Bike Balance Board in the category Equipment.
The multifaceted jury consisting of professional test riders, the world’s best racers, engineers, designers and marketing experts assessed the TOGU Bike Balance Board as the best and most innovative product in the category Equipment – and we are very proud of this!
The jury evaluates the TOGU Bike Balance Board as follows:
“The TOGU Bike Balance Board might looks harmless at first sight, but the wood training device packs quite a punch. The trick: your posture on the board is similar to the position on the bike. In this way the muscles and motor skills are trained simultaneously in a bike-specific and fun way. This means the robust, German-made TOGU Bike Balance Board allows really effective training in the smallest of spaces. You can adjust the difficulty of the training via the air pressure of the ball, and can thus make the level constantly increase. No wonder the world’s best pro riders are using the board for their training. The use of sustainable materials and good workmanship round off the list of advantages for this ingenious training tool.”
The fact that the TOGU Bike Balance Board is honored with the Design & Innovation Award (DI.A) tells us that we have our finger firmly on the pulse of the mountain bikers: Shifting constantly the personal limits – with little practice – for even more fun on the bike!

Eine Frage, die Physiotherapeuten aus unserem Netzwerk in diesen Wochen oft hören: Wie bleibe ich in Bewegung, wenn es um fünf schon dunkel wird? Die Antwort ist erfreulich bodenständig. Es braucht Tageslicht, ein paar feste Gewohnheiten und eine kurze Übungsfolge, die in jedes Wohnzimmer passt.Mehr lesen -
