ISEA 2026: Beyond pedal kickback: Analysis and categorization of crank torque in downhill mountain biking
As part of his research, Manuel Gerth presented his latest findings at the International Sports Engineering Association (ISEA) conference at Washington State University (WSU) on June 3, 2026.
In his presentation, titled "Beyond pedal kickback: Analysis and categorization of crank torque in downhill mountain biking," he introduced innovative approaches to analyzing crank torques in downhill mountain biking. Going beyond the well-known phenomenon of "pedal kickback," his work provides insights for the further development of suspension technology and vehicle dynamics in cycling.
