EUROBIKE ROUND UP 31 27
30 32 Hovding 28
You’ll have been hard pressed to have missed the Hovding ‘helmet’ prior to Eurobike. The unique airbag system deploys from a scarf as a sensor is triggered, resulting in the airbag enclosing the rider’s head prior to impact. The news is not the product, but the fact
the brand is on the hunt for a UK distributor. For anyone keen to take on the label, which sells its product for around €399 per unit, contact +460703121942.

the pivot rotate first counter clockwise, then clockwise through the stroke, varying based on the impact taken. The 575 also goes 27.5 for 2014, with an
overhaul of the tubeset the main change. The frame price remains £1,599 though. Likewise, the SB66 carbon gets a value upgrade with the price dropping to £2,599, plus the swingarm is now made from carbon fibre.
Formula 27 WeThePeople
Formula has both new top of the range and entry-level units joining the 2014 catalogue. The R1 Racing brake is the new flagship, with a newly developed master cylinder that generates more power through a piston that pulls. This has an effect of lowering the pressure needed on the lever too. Stock will be with Silverfish during October. At the entry-level, Formula will also be shipping a sub £100 disc, dubbed the C1. This caliper cartridge system will sit below the current RX.
BIKEBIZ.COM 30
BikeBiz hinted in the last edition that WeThePeople was about to drop a saddle dubbed The Smuggler and first sight of it appeared at Eurobike. As the title suggests, The Smuggler is capable
of holding a small stash of allen keys, or whatever it is your customer desires to carry in the concealed zippy rear pouch. These will land with CSG shortly and come in black or camo. WeThePeople also showed new flatland specific gear, as well as new Eclat label Kolibri cassette hubs and a multi tool.
The buy in price to Colnago’s road range has come down a notch, with the introduction of the £1,999 ACR. Specced with 105 kit, the frame is based on the more expensive M10’s geometry, so is already has strong foundations in racing. An Ultegra spec is also available. The Colnago CXO is also worth a look. Labelled as something ‘radically different’, the CXO is for the rider who seeks a Roubaix style comfort bike, that offers stability through a longer wheelbase and can take up to a 700 x 28c tyre. Windwave will stock this build as a frameset, disc ready frameset, or complete Ultegra £3,499.

The Lazer Capuccino Lock (below)
29 29
For quick stops outside a café or shop, Lazer has come up with the Cappucino Lock, a helmet strap combination lock. Though not recommended as a means of locking your bike for any extended periods of time, the device will at least deter a thief from pinching your lid, should they like the look of it. The Cappuccino Lock works by sliding the male part of the helmet’s buckle into the lock on one side and connecting the female part of the buckle on the other side of the lock.
BBB
31 31
Choosing to be involved with the design process, dealers have Windwave to thank for a new concise range of bottom brackets debuted at Eurobike. Fitting all the current standards, including Hollowtech, Press Fit, BB30 and many more, the line will offer strong value for money.
A new low profile road pedal in both Cromo and titanium also joins the catalogue. Rewarding strong design, BBB have handed a job to the university student who has designed BBB’s answer to the need for a phone mount for bicycles. Coming to market with cases for the latest iPhone, as well as a universal design for larger Android devices, the silicone design is vibration free and waterproof. You’ll also find fresh offerings on the lighting
front, with an £159, 800-lumen headlamp and a top-end £199, 1,300-lumen offering, both of which come machined for efficient heat dissipation and supplied with all the mounts needed for bar or helmet use.
