Twenty-odd piccies of stuff that caught our eye as we roamed the show
Eurobike is a bike show in Germany that’s become the biggest and best place to see loads of new – and weird – bike stuff.
Even though we have seen and heard about a lot of 2017 stuff already there’s always plenty more titbits revealed at Eurobike. Some surprises from the big brands and loads of crazy kooky stuff from smaller outfits.
Here are 21 things that sum up our Eurobike-ing so far. We’ll have more for you soon.
Maxxis skinwalls
Skinwall – or amberwall – tyres made something of a fleeting appearance last year on some special short-run models but 2017 looks like it might be the year where we’ll actually see them available in actual bike shops in the real world…
Olympic winning bike
Scott had both Jenny Rissveds’ and Nine Schurter’s gold medal winning bikes on display. They both rode Scott Sparks with custom Rio 2016 paintjobs. This is Nino’s bike…
They could have done a better job with the number board though – or is it wind tunnel optimised..?
Sunn Kern LT
The Sunn is still shining. 160mm travel Kern LT from the brand that has been ridden to more rainbow jerseys than any other*.
*probably…
2017 Rocky Mountain Slayer
It was only a matter of time before Rocky Mountain got around to refreshing another legendary model from their past. The new Slayer looks hot and continues the Slayer’s tradition of being a yellow peril…
Brendog’s Rampage bike
Brendan ‘Brendog’ Fairclough’s custom huck machine for the imminent Red Bull Rampage…
DMR go clipless
DMR goes clipless with the new VTwin pedal…
The DMR VTwin pedal gets flip up sprung entry and customisable platform height and pins…
New 2.6″ tyre standard
We brought you news about this new chubby-but-not-Plus tyre width already. Schwalbe are offering both 27.5″ and 29″ tyres in 2.6in widths. Specialized and Maxxis also on board…
Eight Pin dropper
Eight Pin’s integrated dropper post uses your frame as the outer sleeve and can deliver up to 220mm of drop..!
Canyon Disconnect concept
This is very cool. Bar mounted remote lets you ‘disconnect’ drivetrain from suspension for unimpeded performance without pedal kickback. Read the full story here. Like riding chainless at the push of a button…
Burly Orange 29er
Strange goings on Orange Bikes. This is a prototype 150mm travel 29er (the fork is 160mm). Sorta like a 29er version of their new Alpine 6…
Giro Rumble VR SPD shoes
Loving these…
Hope HB211 enduro bike
The HB211 has been racking up the miles in Whistler and is looking seriously sexy…
Devinci Marshall Plus/29er
The new Devinci Marshall is one of the new breed of 29er/Plus bikes. 130mm fork up front with 110mm rear travel. Shown here wearing 3in Maxxis Chronicle tyres…
Five Ten Freerider Pro
Five Ten has got a clean look for the new Freerider Pro. Maybe these won’t hold on to water and take quite as long to dry out…
Peaty’s cow bike
Steve Peat’s legendary cow bike (a Santa Cruz V10) from his Lenzerheide World Cup race…
Evil The Wreckoning
A radical 29er. Who doesn’t want a razz on this..?
