Rocky Mountain has ventured into new territory with its "Sherpa" model. With their fat tires, they simply want to flatten the prejudice that a loaded bike can't be fun to ride. We'll tell you whether they stayed in the saddle or crashed on this narrow ridge.

According to Blackburn, the days may soon be getting shorter. The fresh range for the dark season includes a whole host of new lights. But high pressure is also ensured with a new pump, the thirst also needs to be quenched and the smartphone finds its protected place on the stem.

The brand new X4 light system from Blackburn uses a Luxeon K2 diode with a maximum of 85 lumens of pure white light to light up the night. The headlight can be adjusted in four stages: 30, 70, 100 percent or flashing mode. Intelligent electronics guarantee full light intensity throughout the entire battery charge. One charge lasts for four hours at full brightness and six hours in economy mode.

Anyone who has ever pumped a tire with the "TP5" floor pump from Blackburn will never want to work with another pump again: Because thanks to the large-volume pressure tube, ten strokes are enough to bring even voluminous tubes up to a good 3 bar pressure. And the pump can be switched to high-pressure mode with a small button. Ideal for less powerful people or for pumping a racing bike tire to 9 bar pressure.

The new Blackburn Neuro computers are very easy to use and are packed full of functions, ideal for carrying out a personal performance check on the first spring ride. The trendy white (white is the new black) computers work reliably with a trouble-free speed, heart rate monitor and cadence display and have a long battery life. So goodbye to failures along power lines, railroad lines etc.

The "Flea Lights" from Blackburn are not only light and bright, but also the only bike lights in their weight class to be equipped with rechargeable batteries. The functionality is matched by the successful design, which won an award at the last Eurobike trade fair.
