Zyro’s Cycle Vision event is one of the first on the calendar on return from the Christmas break and the distributor has today outlined a number of product highlights and first looks available to retailers making the journey.
Abus will be previewing their brand new In-Vizz helmet, complete with its integrated lens system that completely hides in the helmet frame. Available in some eye-catching colours this helmet looks set to be a key product for 2014. They also launch their new top of the range Granit X-Plus 540 D Lock, with Sold Secure Gold rating and featuring Abus’ Power Cell technology and X-Plus cylinder, this is the perfect lock for high theft risk areas and high value bicycles.
Magura launch their TS8 eLect suspension forks, featuring electronically controlled lockout. The forks automatically lock the fork depending on the riding situation, with a manual mode also available using a wireless remote. The entire system is 15g lighter than the mechanical DL02. Their HS33R hydraulic rim brakes will also be on show, with less weight (-15g) and higher braking power (+5%) this will be a retail and rider favourite thanks to being near maintenance free.
