This month BikeBiz shines a light on the latest new products from i-ride, Madison, Zyro and a wealth of other fresh kit from Endura, SKS and Rozone…
Gemini Lights I-ride: 01444 243000
I-RIDE HAS announced it is distributing Gemini lighting products with stock available for order now. Based in Hong Kong and with offices in Vancouver, the lighting gear brand was founded by mountain biker Chris Lai. The product itself is largely based around bright Cree LEDs and rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries, with protection against overheating built in to the machined aluminium body of each model. Tom Marchment of i-ride said: “We have been really
impressed with the performance of Gemini Lights on our night rides. Plus, we are amazed at just how much is included for your money; bar, mount, head mount, helmet mount, spare lenses and extension cables are all in the box. The range is also strong from a commercial point of view with outstanding branding, packing and pricing structure.” Promotion of Gemini will also be strong with plans in place for advertising and media coverage for the brand in the UK. There is also an introductory offer from i-ride, with extremely competitive margins, as well as a competitive staff price. i-ride told BikeBiz of a 1,700 lumen, triple Cree light in the pipeline, dubbed the Olympia. More on that when we get the pricing and availability info.
Rubena Tyres Bike Tyrestore: 0800 281 413
RUBENA BICYCLE tyres are to become available in the UK following the appointment of Bike Tyrestore as the UK distributor. Having established a strong presence in Europe, including in its domestic territory of the Czech Republic, Rubena is looking for retailers on these shores in need of an all-in-one tyre brand. Commenting on the Rubena deal, Bike Tyrestore UK sales manager, Adam Rous, said: “This is a major development for us. We will use all our marketing and distribution skills to launch Rubena into the UK market, and aim to match the brand’s leading status in other European countries.” Cycle trade members can contact Bike Tyrestore

Abus Bordo 6000 lock Zyro: 01845 521700
AS BIKEBIZ’S editor will verify, Abus make tough stuff, strong enough to resist a sustained attack from some rather large bolt cutters, for the most part. The latest extension to the Bordo line is the 6000,
available in 75 and 90cm long versions, set to be priced at £69.99 and £74.99, respectively. The Bordo is a folding design made up of six
hardened steel bars carrying a two component coating to prevent damage to bike paintwork. When folded, the 6000 tucks into a silicone cover which itself has a belt clip built in for easy transportation. The lock comes with a Sold Secure Silver rating, meaning it’s approved by insurers everywhere. Rewarding margins are said to be available, according to distributor Zyro.
Endura Pro Nemo glove Direct: 01506 497749
INSPIRED BY the success of the neoprene Deluge Zipless Overshoe, Endura has now developed the matching neoprene glove, the FS260-Pro Nemo Glove. This latest member of the Endura glove family is part of the premium FS260-Pro collection of road cycling clothing and it is suited for the harshest winter conditions. The double-laminated neoprene construction with bonded seams makes the FS260- Pro Nemo Glove a highly water resistant glove. The extended cuff is designed to fit under jacket
sleeves to prevent your wrist from exposure to the cold. It is constructed Velcro-free for a draught-free, non-abrasive design that is at the same time easy to put on and off. A grippy palm and thumb plus reflective logos are also featured. Last but not least, it should not go unmentioned that the sleek black style with the dark red inner and inversely placed icon-prints on the outside are aesthetically pleasing and should impress customers. The FS260-Pro Nemo Gloves are available in sizes S-XL and retail at £27.99.
