Thee GE1 Factory and GE1 Slim Factory now get the same sticky custom rubber compound that was first seen on their downhill specific GD1 grips.
Praxis
Nothing hugely new from Praxis since Interbike, but their Lyft Carbon Direct Mount cranksets are gorgeous works of art, plus they’re light and strong.

Douchebags
The new Db Trail is an innovative bike travel bag, a combination of a hard and soft shell for protection and lightness and a 3 piece sectional design that breaks down to a size that’s a bit smaller than a golf bag. And who doesn’t love their name!
Light & Motion
The new VIS Pro commuter light follows in the VIS 360 steps, but the front now has 600 lumens of light. The all in one system easily clips onto a helmet, providing high visibility for the rider. Their Urban series gets new colors and output improvements, with the top of the line now getting 1000 lumens. The Seca also jumps up to 2500 lumens!
Flaer
The British-based company has some cleaning and protection products for your bike along with an innovative automatic chain oiler which is supposed to save 12 Watts of power. The Revo VIA oiler drops a bead of oil every 60, 60 or 120 seconds onto the rear derailleur pulley which depresses the oil over more than one link.
