Eurobike 15 – Day 2.3

Here’s another of your daily dose of Eurobike goodness including HiLite, WTB’s new grips, the most lumens ever claimed on a light and some pimp new rubber from Vee Tires.

This immaculately clean looking bike was on display from Swiss brand HiLite. Beautiful.

WTB were showing their brand new PadLoc grip system. The coloured wedge on the outside end of the grip is designed to offer a greater level of cusioning to the heel of the hand, and the inside shape of the grip interfaces with specially modified bars to make it impossible for the grip to twist.

They have collaborated with SRAM to develop a couple of bars that will integrate with the new grip….

… as well as selling an insert for the park saw guide to allow you to modify your current bars, accurately!

Without riding them it’s hard to tell just how effective they will be at reducing sore hands, but we look forward to giving one of the half dozen different styles a go.

The gentleman from Magicshine tells us that their new light throws out 8000 lumens. Yep, 8000. It also has a remote control and a three hours at full power. We’ve got one on the way so we shall see.

275+ is coming, and there is nothing you can do about it. The Crown Gem is Vee Tire’s first forray, but we doubt it will be their last.

The Vee Flow Rumba is a much more gravity focused tyre developed across the EWS, UKGE and DH world cup over the year, due in the UK soon, and on a test bike soon after
