Hydrapak

The Breakaway+ is a bike-specific squeeze bottle with integrated filter technology. 

HydraPak leveraged its lightweight, integrated filter technology to create the Breakaway+, a safe and efficient hydration solution for cross-country cyclists and adventurers. The cage-compatible bottle quickly removes waterborne bacteria and microplastics with a hollow fiber filter, enabling outdoor enthusiasts to create potable water anywhere and reduce the amount of water they carry.

The Breakaway+ features a unique twist cap design that allows easy drinking via the soft, high-flow nozzle. The cap twists closed for a leak-proof seal. The bottle also comes with a Muckguard cover that protects the nozzle from whatever dust or mud the trail dishes up. The Breakaway bottle series fits securely in a variety of bottle cages, and the new Breakaway Filter Cap will thread easily onto all sizes of HydraPak Breakaway and Polar Bottles produced after 2007.

ORTLIEB

ORTLIEB, the German trailblazer in biking accessories, is thrilled to present the new Dark Sand Bikepacking Collection and an all-new Duffle RC.

Duffle RC – versatility, lower price, no zipper

Duffle RC blends durability and functionality. With a roll closure for no-nonsense access and IP64 protection, this sustainably produced German-made bag is ideal for the most challenging of conditions. Optional Cargo Straps can secure the bag through its daisy chains, and padded, removable shoulder straps transform it into a backpack for added convenience.

New bikepacking color – Dark Sand

The celebrated ORTLIEB Bikepacking collection is now available in an all-new color, “dark sand.” Using the same PVC-free, waterproof nylon, the new, more earthy color is available now on all of the bags in the Bikepacking Collection.

Bikepacking has become one of the most popular forms of bicycle travel, where freedom and minimalism are the main focus. ORTLIEB understands this passion and offers you products in the bikepacking category that are specifically designed for this type of travel.

Our bikepacking gear combines ORTLIEB’s proven waterproof design with the lightweight and flexibility you need for your off-road trips. From compact saddle bags to versatile frame bags and practical handlebar bags, you’ll find everything you need for your next bikepacking adventure.

Seat-Pack

The ORTLIEB Seat-Pack comes with Velcro straps to enable convenient and secure mounting to your seat stem. Projecting backward from the seat stem, your Seat-Pack also serves as a rear fender. The spacious, waterproof Seat-Pack keeps its contents safe and dry. Depending on how long you plan to be away and your Seat-Pack model, you can conveniently adjust the volume of your pack by adjusting the roll closures on the sides.

HANDLEBAR-PACK QR

A new fastening system, the Bar-Lock, enables the waterproof Handlebar-Pack QR (Quick Release) to be attached and removed in no time at all. This means that you can quickly and easily take off the bag and carry it with you when you reach your destination. Thanks to the bar-lock cord attachment, this bikepacking bag remains stable and secure on the handlebars, even on rougher terrain. Internal compressions and the roll closure’s adjustable height ensure the safe storage of gear or equipment. Two further hooks with CamLock fasteners on the front create further compression options.

FORK-PACK

The waterproof Fork-Pack offers even more storage space for your next Bikepacking adventure. With the help of the QLS adapter, this ultra-light bag can be mounted on forks with integrated accessory mounts, as well as on forks without special accessory mounts, as long as the fork legs have an untapered diameter between 30 and 42 mm. In fact, using the supplied adapters, you can attach the bag to any straight, vertical tube of that diameter. The bag features ORTLIEB’s tried-and-true roll-top closure, and the included Quick-Lock S adapter system allows you to attach and detach the bag in no time.

Kenetik

Kenetik reintroduces the ancient energy that empowered our ancestors to thrive, fostering resilience and mental sharpness. It contains no caffeine or artificial ingredients. Kenetik is an entirely new class of exogenous ketones. Plant-based, carbon-negative, and mirroring the body’s natural ketones, Kenetik works hard for your well-being and the planet.

• Ketones are your brain’s preferred fuel source – even in the presence of glucose. They increase blood flow, improve functional brain activity by 18%, and reduce inflammation to clear brain fog, allowing mental clarity to come into focus.
• Ketones provide a ‘supernatural’ edge, delivering energy 28% more efficiently than glucose without sugar spikes or crashes. Over time, your body will learn how to use ketones more efficiently, with cumulative effects seen in 3-6 weeks.
• Subtle yet powerful, drinking ketones daily supports your long-term health. They improve mitochondrial function and counteract oxidative stress to keep your cells energized and damage-free over time.

Kenetik is designed to be sipped, not chased. Now, it’s available in three bold flavors: Pineapple Passionfruit, Strawberry Peach, and Blackberry Lemonade. There are two options: Kenetik: Ketone Concentrate and Kenetik: Ketone Drink.

I tried some at the show and found it to be very tasty!
