Berd Releases the Latest TRUDI Wheel Truing Machine
References: endurancesportswire
Berd has released the latest version of its TRUDI wheel truing machine. This tabletop device works to automate the measurement of radial and lateral runout, centring, and spoke tension before calculating exact adjustments. The goal of this product innovation is to guide the user to achieve accurate results in as little as five to ten minutes.
Berd’s TRUDI wheel truing machine update adds support for wheel sizes from 20 to 32 inches, as well as compatibility with e-bike wheels. The new version also boasts a new external driver that allows truing without removing tire or rim tape, a mini tensiometer for tight spoke patterns, and software enhancements including custom spoke profiles and Chinese language support.
Traditionally, achieving a perfectly true wheel required either paying a skilled mechanic for time-intensive labor or attempting a trial-and-error process at home that often leads to frustration and mediocre results. TRUDI removes that guesswork by replacing an experience-driven, iterative method with a data-driven, single-pass approach.

Trend Themes
-
Automated Precision Maintenance — Tabletop machines that measure and correct wheel geometry in one pass present opportunities to replace skilled, time-consuming manual truing with repeatable, data-driven workflows.
-
Miniaturized Diagnostic Tools — Compact tensiometers and external drivers integrated into benchtop units enable high-accuracy diagnostics in constrained spaces, opening pathways for professional-grade service outside traditional workshops.
-
E-bike and Size-compatible Equipment — Support for wider wheel size ranges and e-bike-specific compatibility signals potential to standardize tooling across new vehicle classes and broaden serviceable fleets.
Industry Implications
-
Bicycle Manufacturing — Factory workflows that incorporate single-pass truing and tension measurement could shift quality control toward inline, automated calibration and reduce post-assembly rework.
-
Bike Repair Retail Chains — Retail service centers equipped with rapid, software-guided truing units might transform throughput economics by compressing labor time per wheel while maintaining professional results.
-
E-mobility Sharing Services — Shared e-bike and micro-mobility fleets stand to benefit from portable, high-precision truing solutions that enable more frequent, predictable maintenance and longer wheel lifecycles.
