NEW PRODUCTS STOCK UP?
This month BikeBiz recommends becoming helmet cam clad and filming our journey on eco-concious saddles, lightweight wheels and, if you’d like, in the Buff too.
JVC Adixxion GC-XA2 Direct to retail: 0208 208 7597
FOLLOWING ON from its original Adixxion camera, JVC has bolstered the range with the water, shock, dust and freeze proof GC-XA2. With no additional protective housing required to
protect the slimline unit, the user is ready to roll right out of the box. With an LCD screen and Wi-Fi built into the camera, there are no extra modules to add either. Powerful recording functions include 1920 x 1080 50p full HD video. as well as 100fps 1280 x 720 high-speed recording for high quality slow motion. Wi- Fi enables real-time checking, as well as live streaming over the Internet. Weighing just 135 grams, despite all the
protection offered, the unit will comfortably attach to a helmet or handlebar, with mount holes on the sides and bottom. The GC-XA2 also trumps its prior model, offering
improved image stabilization, a higher-resolution LCD monitor with Auto off and Auto brightness functions, a higher-resolution image sensor, a higher audio bit rate and better noise reduction. Stock will be with JVC by the time this magazine hits doormats early in August.
Brite Ride Mike Dixon Imports: 01253 343090
AS YOU may have read in these pages last month, Mike Dixon Imports has picked up a new cleaning brand in Brite Ride, a firm co-founded by Sarah Fishwick and Rob Medcalf. With a unique patented foaming trigger spray, the
firm says the solution easily removes dirt, salt and grease in just one coat, which can then simply be rinsed off with water. Having received positive feedback from numerous retailers, as well as the senior mechanics at British Cycling, Brite Ride is off to a strong start. Two new products – a ‘105 Maintenance Spray and Brite Ride Mega Wipes – are due in stock with MDI shortly. For more information and trade sales details, visit the Mike Dixon B2B at
mdib2b.co.uk.
Easton EC90 Aero 55 Zyro: 01845 521700
EASTON HAS introduced the EC90 Aero 55 Tubular and Clincher, two completely new carbon fibre wheelsets, hand built around the new Echo hub and featuring the wind-tunnel proven Fantom rim shape. Available from Zyro at the beginning of Autumn
the wheelsets will come in at 1,330 grams for the tubular and the 1,580g for the clinchers. Boasting to be the only road tubeless certified carbon wheels currently available and to weigh in nearly as light as climbing-suited wheels, the Aero 55’s Fanton rim shape is un-troubled by cross winds and highly capable under intense braking. To this end, Easton has developed a fixture at their Scotts Valley, California, headquarters that tests braking in high heat for a sustained period. Variations in the rim’s sidewalls are measured dynamically – down to the hundredth of a millimetre – with lasers. The test is designed to kill carbon clincher wheels, yet Easton’s new flagship survived the test twice through.
