it doesn't seem like it's gonna be strong how strong what's it made of so definitely not breaking doesn't look like it's even scratch them it off a lot lighter than my clocks that I have on my bike right now hmm I like that it's really flexible I would love to be able to use something that's disliked seems great it's really light most cyclists understand that locks are determined it's about having enough durability to slow it down for a racer like me the huge considerations are weight the sizer bulkiness and ease of use we all know how stressful it is so we have our expensive bikes sitting in public but no one I know is gonna carry a chain or your lock when training it's just not gonna happen so the challenge was to create a security solution that's light enough for training easy to stow and your bike for your pocket and still strong enough to prevent that and that is when I started working with Auto design works this has been no small design challenge locks generally fail the weight and security trade-off most are clunky weak or both we figured out how to keep the way to lock under 115 grams by holding up to the most rigorous theft attempts it is able to quell up into this compact and portable package we achieve this with a patent-pending product design which uses multiple reinforced bands high tempered steel this allows the strap to remain flexible without sacrificing cut resistance the result is a secure compact and lightweight lock with broad application for the outdoor enthusiasts it's brilliant everyone I ride with who's seen my auto lock have been bugging me to get one we're pretty lucky to have a world-class pro racer like Jacob collaborating with us the auto lock concept was born from the needs of cyclists first but it didn't take our team long to realize there were many more uses it's not even out there yet and the people with our beta prototypes are already raving it's showing us many other uses both on and off the bike it's just so simple and we're excited about our new cinch luck changes things strange or what you spend so much time every year in traffic jams and moan about it because you're not getting anything from life but that doesn't help at all you don't want to get to the office all sweaty that's for sure you have no time for exercise because you waste your life in your car hey your life is outside not in your car you just have to reach out and get it leave your car in the garage because your bike can be electric with my mouse if more people had more fun on bikes and things would be better on the roads for our environment and for you too and if more people switch to bikes the better off we will be Deimos has the power that you don't have in the mornings you're a gateway drug you're strong ally and the slopes and against headwinds your trainer if you want to ride up mountains went on the flats it listens to your heart when you're training you and your bike become one it shows your friends where you went and if you want you can do something good for others by describing your routes and sharing them with your friends my mouse is not heavy not complicated or expensive how can this all work well because the BIOS is a smart direct drive the most incredible stuff can be done with a little intelligence and it fits almost any bike in a few minutes it's ready child's play remove crank put on the battery pack put on by mos put on the switch ready any other questions it goes where the power on the bike needs to be not on the rear or on the front wheel but in the middle where it should be no transmission no gears no gadgets oh junk we do not need any machine noises to get up a mountain and it works if I must turns you into a super hero because by most gives you the feeling that the power comes from your legs somehow between a tail wind and a slight downhill on the mountain but only if that is what you want without the drive your bike is your bike you can ride it like your bike and on the whole it looks just like your bike you can remove the battery you can charge it at home before bike rides weren't truly shareable you can only look at screenshots of a map or out of context GoPro footage now Michael combines your route data with your video to create an interactive recap giving a story to your route you can relive your trip highlights while checking your speed duration calories burned and progress on one screen and all of the device you already own your smartphone it's the first product to merge a fitness data tracking app with your smartphone's camera the most complete way to track review and share your favorite moments on the road after your ride it's easy to share your route with the whole Bichel community so you can inspire fellow cyclists and blazed new trails that others will follow our mount is a unique piece of engineering it allows you to check your GPS and route progress while simultaneously creating a video recording of your trip this is all possible because of a prism installed on the front side of the mount this prism deflects the lenses on your camera to shoot straight forward displaying the app and its navigation tools to the user in a comfortable position while recording live video of your route the Bichel mount is water-resistant protecting your phone from the elements it also provides an accurate video recap of your trip so you can have another layer of security in case there are any incidents Michael is not just another gadget it's a completely new way to enjoy a journey is more than just getting to your destination it's about enjoying the right what if you could cycle taking everything you wanted with you but without compromise introducing tailfin here in the UK I've worked with some brilliant designers and manufacturing specialists we've completely reimagined both a humble bike rack and the pannier bike I wanted to create a rack that complements your road bike beautifully and is so light you don't even know it's there a rack that can attach to any road bike without tools and settings the pannier bag needed to be equally light robust and waterproof a pannier that can take it all and connect effortlessly to the rack historically bike racks are made from welded metal tubes the tailfin rack is manufactured from carbon fiber we've shaped two aerodynamically to seamlessly blend with your road bike tailfins been designed with some breakthrough features it ships with a custom skewer which permanently replaces your existing one and allows tail frame to attach to almost any road bike the tailfin raccoon pannier worked perfectly together you can also attach existing panniers biking is the fastest way to get around the city the downside of urban riding is that millions of bikes are stolen every year and many go unreported when you arrive at your destination you'd lock up your bike for something like this or even worse this at outdoor we believe that cyclists deserve a higher standard of security and that's why we designed the 560 G the world's lightest high-security bike hey my name is Luke as a kid I used to ride my bike everywhere and to be honest not much has changed whether I was in competition or just trying to get around town every second on my bike is pure joy when I got older I moved to the city and started commuting by bike at first everything was great I could get where I was going quickly and for free but then I had my first bike stolen I was forced to use a heavy steel lock which me and my riding experience painful I thought to myself if bike step carbon fiber and titanium components and it had these for years why can't walk through the same luckily for me I met someone who agreed hi I'm Dylan after talking to leek about the problem he was having with his bike lock we agreed there had to be a better solution he began researching materials designing locks and testing prototypes after about a year development we came up with the 560 G the world's lightest high-security bike club weighing 560 grams or 1.24 pounds after having my bike stolen I had to make sure that the 560 G was different than other bike locks I use in the past that's why we designed the five six eg the handle sustained attacks from the strongest of theft tools the 560 G is different from the bike locks because it has made a grade 5 titanium a super alloy used in fighter jets and spacecraft this material has a very high strength to weight ratio allowing the 560 G to be lightweight and secure the components of the 560 gr percision machine to ensure the highest possible quality after machining they are anodized giving the lock a beautiful finish unlike any other lock the 5 6 e G's patent-pending folding design allows to be conveniently folded up for storage in or on a bag if you don't have a bag you can clip it on your belt the files of G's 3-piece titanium joint design is different from other folding locks because it was designed of solid marine grade stainless steel rivets lastly the 5cg is designed up a high-security disc lock mechanism so that you can lock up your bikes to push the button this versatile mechanism allows you to combine locks for extra reach or extra security
