Eurobike 13 – Day 3.1

Day 3 of Eurobike 2013 has begun & we’ve got stacks more new kit to show you. There is a whole bunch of new stuff we’ll be showing you in depth, but here are a few more of those exciting bits we couldn’t wait to show you.

Entirely made in the UK, these grips from Hope are sure to be a hit. With a single clamp at one end, which is integrated into the grip itself, you get a full handful of rubber without an discomfort. They’re a decent thickness & pretty sticky too.

One of the first specific ‘mountain’ bikes built by Tom Ritchey is on display this week, without bikes like this the world we live in would be a lot different.

Propain dabbling in the kids’ freeride market with this machine for young rippers.

Giro have upped their shoe game for 2014 with new colourways for their flat pedal specific Jacket model, with it’s Vibram sole once again.

The Cipher is the replacement for the long standing Remedy model, and features over the brow ventilation, compatibility with headphones for those mid trail tunes & comes with a helmet cam mount built in.

For those wanting a comfortable shoe for all day use on & off the bike, the new Terraduro is Giro’s answer. Combining a Vibram sole with the upper of an XC race shoe, these don’t have as much tread as your traditional mountain bike shoe, but will be great for those times spent on foot between tearing up the mountain.

Giro also have this interesting running shoe style SPD. Not too sure who the target market is for this one. They also have an incredible new range of casual & urban cycle clothing, for those that want technical gear but aren’t keen on the full lycra look.

Charge have redefined their range of bikes & simplified them down to just 3 models, each with different specification choices. They now cater for MTB (the Cooker range of bikes, including the Maxi fat bike), road (with the Plug, now available in geared options) & the Grater (your urban steeds). Charge also know how to throw a party, and kindly invited us along last night, finishing off another busy day here at Eurobike.
