Taoyuan, Taiwan (November 28, 2008) Pacific’s MODE urban folding bike has received the iF Product Design Award 2009, an award recognizing high quality design and new trends in consumer products.
The Pacific MODE was judged along with 2,808 products. The iF jury composed of international judges, who are extremely dedicated, critical and passionate in their discussions and their overall approach to the task of evaluating the new product designs. They evaluated each product based on a list of eleven evaluation criteria that included design quality, degree of innovativeness, functionality visualization of use and safety among others. MODE was able to successfully in asserting itself in this highly competitive, international environment.
The clean and striking MODE is aimed at commuters that may have not considered cycling or folding bikes as an option. MODE avoids oily chains, complex tubes with hidden dirt traps and the clutter of traditional bike features. It can be used by commuters who do not want to change their appearance into 'bicycle warriors'. MODE features Pacific’s IF(Integrated Folding) technology that offers a single-action, automatic fold that requires no tools or removal of parts. IF technology is based on a patented 3-dimensional 4-Bar linkage that automatically guides the wheels together when folding. Once folded, MODE rolls along in a convenient wheelable package.
Starting in March, the iF design exhibition 2009 will open in conjunction with CeBIT in Hannover, Germany. MODE will be on display at the iF design exhibition until the end of August for viewing.
MODE will be available starting in December in select countries. For product specification and availability, please contact your nearest Pacific Cycles dealer or design boutique or contact Pacific for assistance. www.pacific-cycles.com
