NEW PRODUCTS New and improved
Welcome readers to the new and improved BikeBiz sector guides. We have revamped our product pages to ensure they are a comprehensive and valuable tool to anyone working in the trade.
The first of the changes we’ve made is the addition of the ‘new product’ section – each month we will round-up all the hottest new releases from across the cycling trade, from bikes and components, to cleaning products and clothing, so you are always up to speed on the latest developments. We have also shaken up our approach to our regular sector guides, where we
explore all the hottest products from two different cycling categories in each edition – this month cycle computers and triathlon. You will now find a closely curated list of best-selling, innovative, new and
exciting products from each category. We have also opened up the sector guides to brands that do not yet have a distributor, offering a comprehensive look at trends and developments across cycling. We’re very excited about these changes and we hope they continue to offer you valuable insight for your business, and of course your feedback is always welcome. If you have a brand you’d like to showcase in the sector guides, we’d also love to hear from you. Alex Ballinger, editor

E-bike Drivetrain Tool, Muc-Off
Muc-Off has launched a new e-bike drivetrain tool – a ‘revolutionary’ bit of kit that locks firmly into an e-bike sprocket bolt, allowing the drivetrain to spin backwards freely, making e-bike maintenance a breeze. “Not only is it quicker, but it’s
safer on parts too,” said a statement from Muc-Off. “Riders have taken to flipping
their bikes upside down or wheeling the bike forwards to apply lube to their chains; thanks to the Muc-Off e-bike Drivetrain Tool, scratched up displays, bars, saddles and frames can be a thing of the past.” The Drivetrain Tool is made
from a durable CNC machined 6061 aluminium body and finished in the Muc-Off anodised pink. It’s compatible with most e-bike chainrings (excluding

spiderless), thanks to the supplied 5mm, 6mm Hex and T30 Torx bits which snap into place with a magnetised connection. Muc-Off is celebrating the launch with the release of its e-bike Arcade video, which sees British MTB star Chopper Fielder search for a post-ride clean down. The Drivetrain Tool is available
now from selected retailers and

Urban Cross E-bikes, Mondraker
Mondraker has launched its latest range of Urban Cross e-bikes – the ‘perfect solution’ for those looking to explore the city they live in or venture further afield. This year, the Prime RX joins the family, featuring the new Bosch Performance Line Cruise BS3 motor and the 750Wh internal battery. The latest Bosch Kiox 300
display means riders will be able to see data such as assistance mode, battery level and kilometres travelled on the move as well as making use of the extra power and performance the system provides. The Prime X is equipped with the Bosch Performance Line CX Cruise 4th generation motor and a removable Bosch Powertube 625Wh internal battery, paired to the Bosch Purion display. It will
also have two colour options. Meanwhile, the Thundra X has
an integrated 630Wh Simplo internal battery powering the Shimano Steps E7000 motor which can also be paired with an optional 360Wh external battery pack for extra range and a total of 990Wh. Mondraker said one of its priorities is to manufacture bikes in its own style and to always offer maximum performance – and the Urban Cross bikes are no exception to this rule. RRP: Four price points, from £3,499 up to £3,999.
