About Us

Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days. The exact test conditions can be viewed in the test plan of the respective test report – click here to go directly to the test plan.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

We guarantee transparency and a fair evaluation. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, please click here.

When you roll out the Monty Shasta tube for the first time, you will see that the surface is smooth and even. There are no manufacturing defects or material irregularities. The valve is firmly in place and straight, which indicates precise workmanship. The seam created by the vulcanisation process is also clean and barely noticeable. The material thickness is well thought out: it is not too thick to add unnecessary weight, but sturdy enough for everyday use. BikePeak has opted for a classic deep black colour. Overall, the inner tube looks high-quality and can definitely compete with well-known brands. Those who pay attention to details will recognise the quality here.
