Eurobike<\/a> is the world\u2019s biggest cycling trade show and its cavernous halls offer an embarrassment of riches for the tech-hungry cycling nerd.<\/p>\n

With everything from tiny OEM manufacturers to mega-brands exhibiting 500+ different bikes, navigating the Escher-like Frankfurt Messe is a challenging task.<\/p>\n

Mercifully for you, our dear readers, BikeRadar has a team on the ground to pick out the most interesting tech from this year\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

Below is a small selection of what we\u2019ve seen so far with plenty more to follow in the coming days. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

New Busch + M\u00fcller IQ-XM StVZO light<\/h2>\n

The Busch + M\u00fcller IQ-XM is a new StVZO-compliant<\/a> bike light for road cycling that is powered by an external battery.<\/p>\n

While the brand already produces a number of dynamo<\/a> e-bike and all-in-one bike lights<\/a> that use a shaped beam, this is the first StVZO light from the brand that is powered by an external battery.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
The light is powered by an external battery pack.<\/span><\/figcaption> Jack Luke \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

This will make it a good choice for road or gravel cyclists that prefer a shaped beam and require long battery life.<\/p>\n

The light is available with a standard bar mount and an out-front style mount.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
The light will be available in two mounting options at launch.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n

Speaking to BikeRadar, a Busch + M\u00fcller spokesperson said that the light was developed following demand for battery-powered StVZO-compliant lights and hinted its range may expand in future.<\/p>\n

Maxxis Forekaster<\/h2>\n

Maxxis\u2019 new Forekcaster XC tyre took centre stage on the brand\u2019s expansive booth.<\/p>\n

The tyre bridges the gap between the purely XC-focussed Aspen and the gnarlier Minion range \u2013 a downcountry bike<\/a> tyre, if you will.<\/p>\n

FSA prototype bike<\/h2>\n
\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
This prototype FSA bike was pretty hard to miss.<\/span><\/figcaption> Stan Portus \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

It was hard to miss this prototype road bike<\/a> at the FSA booth.<\/p>\n

Matteo Palazzo of FSA says the brand developed the bike to explore what a road bike could look like in the future.<\/p>\n

Everything on the bike is integrated and it has a bike computer<\/a> built into the stem.<\/p>\n

The stem is also integrated with the handlebar and fork.<\/p>\n

Palazzo says the brand originally planned to display the prototype at Eurobike 2020, but held off due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

It decided to show the bike this year to help promote the launch of the new FSA K-Force WE 12-speed groupset<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Schwalbe Pro One TT hand cycle tyres<\/h2>\n

For the handcyclists<\/a> out there, Schwalbe has launched a new small-scale production run of its Pro One TT tyre.<\/p>\n

Available in a single 20 x 1.10in size, the tyre forms part of the Record Edition range, where speed is the name of the game. It uses Schwalbe\u2019s fastest-rolling Addix Race compound, and comes with tan sidewalls.<\/p>\n

HJC Gleo<\/h2>\n

This kid\u2019s helmet<\/a> from HJC\u2026 well, just look at it. It\u2019s adorable!<\/p>\n

Available in four different colours, the helmet features four ports that allow budding shredders to customise the lid to their tastes.<\/p>\n

Sportful Supergiara SS23<\/h2>\n

Supergiara is Sportful\u2019s top-of-the-line gravel riding<\/a> clothing collection.<\/p>\n

Federico Mele, Sportful\u2019s head of global marketing, says for 2023 the brand is focussing more on gravel kit and emphasising patterns and women\u2019s clothing.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>

It\u2019s hard to get away from the bold patterns with the Supergiara jersey pictured here with its sunset-like fade.<\/p>\n

Sportful is also releasing a Supergiara capsule collection called \u2018Sky Rider\u2019. Mele says the pattern on the over shorts in the collection looks like a Nasa space photograph \u2013 and there are bib shorts in the same pattern, too.<\/p>\n

Briko Detector Retrosuperfuture glasses<\/h2>\n

Briko Detector glasses were the choice of pro rider Mario Cippolini in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
The \u201990s aren\u2019t over, clearly.<\/span><\/figcaption> Stan Portus \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

The brand has returned to its style heyday with these sunglasses, which are made in collaboration with Retrosuperfuture \u2013 a fashion sunglasses brand.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
The glasses have a stylish but frankly impractical side arm.<\/span><\/figcaption> Stan Portus \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

These cycling sunglasses<\/a> are more form than function with curved arms we\u2019d struggle to stow on our helmets.<\/p>\n

Weldtite cleaning products<\/h2>\n
\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
The cleaner is said to be vegan.<\/span><\/figcaption> Stan Portus \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Weldtite is soon to release two new cleaning products<\/a> \u2013 a bike cleaner and a ceramic frame protector.<\/p>\n

Weldtite claims the cleaner \u201cperforms better\u201d than Muc-Off\u2019s equivelant cleaner. It is also claimed to be a safe, cruelty-free and vegan product, according to the brand.<\/p>\n

The cleaner comes in 1-litre bottles or as a concentrate which can make up to 10 litres.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
The coating provides \u2018hydrophobic protection\u2019.<\/span><\/figcaption> Stan Portus \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Weldtite says the trigger on the cleaner\u2019s bottle has two functions \u2013 mist and blast.<\/p>\n

Mist can be used for general cleaning while the blast function helps rid your bike of stubborn grime.<\/p>\n

Weldtite is also due to release its Rapid Ceramic Shield bike coating. Developed in collaboration with Team DSM, the spray-on product is said to fill imperfections in your bike\u2019s lacquer to minimise dirt build-up.<\/p>\n

The solution is based on vegetable oils with a ceramic additive.<\/p>\n

Limited-edition Panaracer tyres<\/h2>\n

Coloured bike tyres rarely look cool\u2026 unless they\u2019re from Panaracer.<\/p>\n

The brand has made a habit of releasing limited-edition versions of its GravelKing tyres each season in recent years. This year\u2019s choice is particularly fun, with a golden brown GravelKing SK and turquoise GravelKing Semi-Slick available.<\/p>\n

Hunt gave us a sneaky preview of its new 48 and 60 Limitless UD Carbon spoke wheels, which will be released later this year.<\/p>\n

These see a switch from standard steel spokes to the same carbon spokes used on the brands other UD Carbon spoke wheels. These are claimed to safe 100g compared to steel spokes.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll bring a full rundown on these wheels (and more) tomorrow.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n
