R&D Division The Tailfin Process
Searching for insights
An idea, an inspiration, or a problem experienced on the road; design inspiration comes from many directions. All Tailfin products start life as a simple idea
In-house engineering and development
From the creation of first CAD drawings and prototypes to refining of final pre-production samples, all development is done in-house by Tailfin’s team of designers and engineers.
Thorough ISO Standard testing
Specific lab testing pushes the limits of product design and ensures all Tailfin kit is more than up to the use and abuse riders put them through.
Combining high-tech fabrics with top end hardware components
Every construction material is chosen based on appropriateness and performance, dependent on where it is to be used. Constant experimentation with the latest high-performance versions ensures we always use the very best available.
Backed by our guarantee
We are so confident in the quality of our products that we offer a five-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Any issues with materials or function from five years of purchase that are deemed to be from a manufacturing issue will be covered.
