The experts assess the submissions based on the four basic principles of good design: the quality of function, the quality of seduction, the quality of use, and the quality of responsibility. In 2024, the Red Dot jury is made up of 39 experts from 20 countries on 4 continents. They cover various design disciplines and work as professors, consultants, journalists, or industrial designers. The entries came from 60 countries. The products were tested and evaluated by the jurors according to their respective types. The discussions between the experts are an important part of this process.

The Piston SR Hitch Rack makes e-bike life easy. This all-metal, one-bike rack will hold an e-bike weighing up to 100 pounds or 67 pounds on an RV. Top it off with our Piston e-bike ramp (sold separately) and transporting that beast will be a piece of cake. . . . Video: Baseline Media
