Day one at Eurobike and it’s demo day. Lots of new kit to look at and some to try out on the not particularly technical ‘demo route’.
Despite the lack of any technical features on the demo route, plenty of spills happened keeping the local ambulance team busy during the day. With new products found and new contacts made, expect some reviews coming in the near future.
Pro-Lite rear wheel from the a Taiwanese company you’ll be hearing more from soon. We’re hoping to get a test set of their carbon MTB wheels soon.This rear hub has 6 pawls, each with double engagement, giving 84 engagements. The axle can easily be unscrewed and changed for one of a different length.This wheel is built with their aluminium rim, soon to be available with a carbon rim.The hub comes with angular contact bearings, this allows the hub to be tightened without hindering the function of the bearing.Hip flask holder for your bike anyone? Hopefully the first of many trick items to see over the coming week.VP pedals from the USA, new pedals which are Shimano cleat compatible as well as providing their own.Trick new Ti flat pedal from VP, very light, very expensive, very limited and very nice.VP’s flat pedal, affordable version. Hoping to get a pair on test very soon, keep on eye out.Tom Laws ridding the Scott Genius, this could be the bike to have.The Devinci Troy, a 140mm trail bike. Very manoeuvrable, light bike that is capable of a lot.
Bluegrass with their new helmet adjustment to give a better fit and feel. We’re hoping to bring you more news on their new DH helmet over the coming days.New winter riding gloves from Bluegrass, two versions available, one longer length glove (shown here) and one shorter that doesn’t come as far up your wrist. Neither are too bulky and should still provide a good feel while riding.
