Eurobike was awash with new components, with the common driving force being to reduce weight. Carbon continues to creep into every part of the bike and there’s still a clear driving force for reducing weight. Here’s some bits and bobs that tickled our taste buds (and not all for the right reasons…).
Speedplay
Speedplay have managed to add three new pedals to their range
The 62g Zero Nanogram is the lightest yet, lighter than that used be Fabian Cancellara in the Tour
The Light Action Titanium version weighs 82g
Race Face
New graphics and bar shapes for the Race Face Cadence bars
Next SL is the name for the new carbon components, including handlebars as well as this seatpost
Revolution stem has been totally redesigned
Brooks
Brooks bar end plugs: the finishing touch for your achingly retro steel steeds
Brooks Swallow Classic will soon be available with chrome steel metalwork or titanium metalwork…
…the difference in weight is quite considerable
Cinelli
Cinelli’s Ram El Toro has been hit hard with a paint palette
Cinelli’s one-piece carbon bar/stem with the company’s new transparent gel bar tape
Kore
Kore were showing this new carbon handlebar
And a very nice matching stem too
Tune
If you want to save weight, consider Tune components
Tune Speedneedle saddle. The weight, just 87g!
Carbon brake calipers from AX Components
We spotted this Tune part on the new Litespeed – they made good partners
