Sea Otter 2019 – EVOC, Tubolito , KNOG, and ORTLIEB

EVOC

They’ll have a couple of new bags and packs that will be available later this summer. The EVOC Top Tube Bag ($40) will come in one small size and is designed to be mounted behind the stem, and it can hold a cell phone and maybe some snacks. The Multi Frame Pack comes in S ($45) and M ($50), and it’s designed to be mounted in a joint of a frame, and it’s big enough for a tube, tools, and inflators.

The Race Belt ($45) is a stripped-down hip belt that can hold an inflator, tools, gloves, etc., and is basically for the enduro riders who don’t want to carry anything on their back.

Tubolito 

The Tubolito is a new generation of mountain bike tubes that are twice as robust and puncture resistant as standard tubes while weighing 65% less and being more elastic. The Austrian company is combining a high-tech TPU or thermoplastic elastomer material with a newly developed seamless production technology to produce their revolutionary product. There has never been a more natural way to trim weight off your wheels while not compromising on security or spending a fortune.

They come in four major versions with multiples sizes in some models, all having 44mm long tubeless valves:

• TUBO-MTB: 26″, 27.5″, 29″ meant for 1.8″-2.4″ width tires
• S-TUBO-MTB: 26″, 27.5″, 29″ meant for 1.8″-2.4″ width tires
• TUBO-MTB-PLUS: 27.5+, 29″ meant for 2.5″-3″ width tires
• TUBO-ROAD: 700C meant for 18-28mm width tires

knog

Bandicoot headlamp ($35)

Light, intuitive, durable, and sleek – everything everyday headlamps aren’t.

The 100-lumen, USB-rechargeable, and waterproof knog Bandicoot tout a realistic run-time of four-plus hours with a wide range of entirely customizable light modes. By plugging the Bandicoot into the USB port on a computer, users can access Knog’s ModeMaker application allowing for the customization of what modes are accessible on the Bandicoot and, even more importantly, the order in which those modes ignite. With over a dozen white light and red light modes and an intuitive program, you can fine-tune the available light modes in just a few minutes. USB-rechargeability is a way of life for Knog. Not only does the adjustable one-piece LED housing/band keep the Bandicoot lightweight and prevent any jostling when running, but it’s also waterproof. Now, some may hear that the Bandicoot is made of a silicone headband and they imagine a rubber band and how it might pull at their hair.

Cobber Lights ($50+)

Producing 330º of light makes Cobber truly unique and means cyclists can clearly see forward and be seen from behind while being viewed from all sides. In an increasingly busy world, this bike light is brilliantly effective at attracting the right kind of attention and helping to keep cyclists safe. Packing a whopping 470 lumens in the Big Cobber down to 110 lumens in the Lil’ Cobber these lights are seriously bright. Of course, they wouldn’t be a Knog if they didn’t come packed with convenient features like integrated USB recharging, so you can plug it into your computer to charge. Cobber lights are 100% waterproof, as you’d expect and there is even the ability to program the light modes on your computer, making it fully customizable.

PWR

PWR is an ecosystem of the bike and outdoor products designed to share their battery hut, that battery also works as a power bank to charge your devices. Choose the simple “charger” bike lights which have an integrated power bank or upgrade to the “modular” system which has interchangeable PWR Lightheads and PWR Banks. These batteries will power all the modular products, including the upcoming outdoor range.

ORTLIEB

Atrack BP

Designed for your adventure, whether it‘s bikepacking, on a packraft or an overnight snowshoe tour. The waterproof ORTLIEB Atrack BP features everything required for a bikepacking trip combined with the multiple functions of the Atrack product family. Atrack BP is customized for bikepacking: the hip wings are eliminated, the backpack features a slender shape and a helmet fixing and comes in the bikepacking design. Despite its 25 L liter volume the back carrying system with stepless length adjustability. Breathable back pads and a reduced hip belt in combination with an adjustable back length ensure ideal weight distribution.

Inspired by defining a new backpack category, ORTLIEB designed the Atrack product family. This Active Travel Backpack model – Atrack BP is waterproof to IP67, ensuring 100% dry gear, therefore ideal for biking and sports. The unique position of the waterproof TIZIP zipper in the back panel provides a wide opening with unobstructed access. Digging through the pack – as with classic top loaders – and opening various buckles or straps to find buried items, therefore, becomes history. A hydration system can be easily integrated, and the pack features a sealable drinking tube aperture.

Atrack BP is both a fully featured outdoor backpack designed for the special needs of bikepacking and a travel duffle. The modular system and various accessories allow rapid, individual, use-specific modification on your trip – outdoors or in the city. Accessories and compressions straps fix to the daisy chains. Four zippered inner pockets and an internal compression strap aid clean organization for packing and unpacking. PVC free and sustainably made in Germany. The Atrack BP will be available later this summer in one size for $265.
