CYCLE SHOW 2013 GUIDE Guide to Cycle Show 2013
You know the what, where and when so here’s a small taster of what you can expect to find at the NEC Cycle Show with a handy floor plan and exhibitor list. Jonathon Harker collates the details…
HardNutz Stand D1
THE HELMET brand has eight new designs set to launch at the NEC show, under an initially baffling brand concept of ‘Stealth Hi Vis’. It’s not as daft as it sounds and has developed from the success of HardNutz’s Gloss and Black Hi Vis helmets, that have 19 panels of black 3M material on them. The brand has moved the concept on to include coloured 3M material on the same coloured sections of the helmet. As with black helmets the 3M reflective panels are virtually undetectable in daylight but highly reflective under headlights.

Continental / Cambrian Stand F22
CONTINENTAL HAS lots up its rubberised sleeve in what it calls an important year for the MTB sector particularly. The brand now has a broad range of product for all wheel dimensions, from three different price and quality levels. The highest quality premium tyres are manufactured in Korbach, Germany (including the BlackChili and Protection models), while the new performance products come from the newly built factory in Hefei, China. Finally, the price and performance champions for daily use come from the facility in India. Continental’s Grand Prix 4000 S II has
had a facelift, with a discreet bead strip providing chance to colour coordinate the tyre to match bikes perfectly. The size range has

create simple invoices, save customer contact information and produce daily sales reports, giving users a real feel for how the system works.

been expanded with the addition of a 28 mm option, perfect for the fan of wider tyre & rim performance. This 28mm provides improved grip in poor riding conditions, increased puncture protection and greater comfort. Conti’s new Grand Sport family is based on a solid 60 TPI casing, a NyTech breaker and the durable and super grippy PureGrip tread compound, with each tyre designed for a particular use – the GrandSport Extra offers pure puncture protection, for example. Elsewhere in the range, the award- winning Rubber Queen trail and freeride tyre gets a new name for 2014, to fall in line with the global identity of this tyre – Trail King. The tread pattern and other technologies do not change, but there are some new options. Continental’s 29-inch range has also expanded to now include the more specialist tread patterns Speed King 2.2 and Mud King 1.8, whilst the all- rounder patterns Trail King, Mountain King, X-King & Race King all now feature the added 27.5-inch options. The urban and touring lines have been expanded too. Find out more over at the stand. 01970 626777
