EVER STOOD at a show open-mouthed as the stand infront of you shows a number of spinning wheels emitting flashing patterns, pictures and messages? We too have been similarly dazzled by the creator of the invention Monkey Light Wheels, a label now found under the Chicken Cyclekit portfolio. Starting from £44.99, your customers can now turn their bikes into an illuminated work of art. The ten LED system runs from three AA batteries and will work in all weather conditions.

ONE INDUSTRIES
ONE INDUSTRIES Europe will be attending Core Bike for the first time and will be exhibiting the all-new bike apparel line, alongside long established brands 661 protection and Maxxis tyres. The One Industries Bike line has been
developed using a wealth of experience gained from 15 years of working in the MX business, mixed with design input from top line athletes such as the
Athertons and Aaron Chase. The end result is a range of MTB-specific clothing, covering the competitive, DH and Gravity Enduro rider to the weekend trail rider, and everything in between. Body protection label 661 and tyre label Maxxis are long standing businesses that most should be familiar with, though both will exhibit product that may be new to many.
and displays brilliant patterns, as the wheel spins. Fast Rider also joins Chicken’s portfolio and the line of bike bags and baskets will debut at Core Bike, promising dealers competitive prices on all luggage. Vittoria Shoes (nothing to do with the
tyre brand, also found in Chicken’s warehouse) and Dedacciai Elementi Wheels will also make their first appearance at the show. The latter is calling on dealers to come and learn about its new concept in wheel construction with the ‘Reverse Inertia Concept Principle’.
ALL-NEW to Buff headwear the Helmet Liner Pro joins the range for the spring (in stock early March). Made with Fastwick Extra Plus, a 100 per cent polyester knit constructed to simulate beehive cells, the fabric enables strong moisture wicking properties (sweat) from the wearer to ensure comfort, even during high intensity activities. At just 27.5cm long, as opposed to 52cm in Original Buff, it is less bulky under a helmet and therefore
ideally suited to cyclists. Priced at £7.13 trade and £15.00 retail it's a little more expensive than Original, but the technical performance of the fabric more than justifies this. Buffera will also show the
Autumn/Winter apparel collection, taking forward orders for those who're interested. Also on show will be the SS13 collection for anyone wanting in season orders for delivery in March/April.
