Abstract
This industrial design master’s thesis presents Exhume, a product created with mountain bikers to make it easier to clean a bike by the trail before heading home. Today, many riders carry improvised, inadequate gear that gets scattered, or postpone cleaning until they are home, tired and cold. The rapid growth of mountain biking after Covid has increased the need for a practical solution. The report describes the design process in five phases, from scoping to the finalized design, with ongoing input from riders. Exhume aims to solve on‑trail cleaning challenges and to compete in the fast‑moving market for mountain biking equipment and accessories.
Dette kandidatspeciale i industridesign præsenterer Exhume, et produkt udviklet sammen med mountainbikere for at gøre det lettere at rengøre cyklen ved sporet, før man kører hjem. I dag medbringer mange ryttere utilstrækkeligt udstyr, der ender spredt, eller venter med at vaske cyklen til de er hjemme, når de er trætte og kolde. Den markante vækst i mountainbiking i kølvandet på Covid har øget behovet for en praktisk løsning. Rapporten gennemgår designprocessen i fem faser fra afgrænsning af opgaven til det færdige design, med bidrag fra ryttere undervejs. Exhume sigter mod at løse udfordringen med rengøring ved sporet og at indgå i det hurtigt udviklende marked for udstyr og tilbehør til mountainbikes.
