Tune lanciert neue Naben

Tune launches new hubs

Component manufacturer Tune announces extensive changes to its product portfolio. The KillHill/ClimbHill and Princess/Prince hub models are being removed from the range. The Yokto, Nano and Micro models are new to the range. All existing wheels will be available with the new hubs in future. The technical improvements include a new freehub system with optimized tooth ring geometry and more engagement points, improved seals and a new design. In addition, there is no longer any need to adjust the axial play using shims. The products should be available from May.

Tune manufactures faceguards

The 3D printers at Tune are running at full speed: in addition to high-quality and lightweight hubs, wheels, stems and saddles, the Black Forest company is now also producing protective material for the fight against coronavirus. Tune prints a frame that, combined with a laminating film, creates a protective shield for medical personnel.

The laser sword for the workshop

In theory, adjusting the gears is quite simple: adjust the upper and lower limit stops and adjust the cable tension. In practice, however, it can turn into fiddling and without practice the gears can quickly become fatally misaligned. The tune Linientreu is a clever learning and adjustment aid for setting the gears.

Test: Tune Blackburner 27.5 AM/Enduro - A lightweight wheelset takes on the rough stuff.

Tune's Black Burner wheelset in the Enduro version was in use for a good season. From alpine tours to racing and individual bike park missions, the lightweight wheels with carbon rims had to endure everything.

Tune: Centerlock arrives

When it comes to the hub portfolio, the Black Forest tuning specialist has always had one common denominator: The disc hubs are manufactured with a 6-hole mount for the brake disk. For the classic Kingkong and Kong hubs, there is now an exception to the rule: Centerlock is here to stay.

Tune Steuerschaft

The noble helper hidden in the head tube

The seatpost can be lowered, so it's not hollow inside and the frame doesn't want to have anything else to do with a Di2 battery? Then internal battery mounting with a Di2 drivetrain may not be an option. However, the lightweight construction specialist tune is now rolling out a solution in which the small power source disappears into the steerer tube.

Tune brings the fastest thru-axle system

The Schwazwälder lightweight construction gurus are launching the QC quick-release thru-axle, which is probably the fastest thru-axle on the market. This is not bolted on and is reserved exclusively for Haibike in the first year.

Tune offers first glimpse before Eurobike

The lightweight construction specialist "Tune" has some hot parts in store for 2016: the Re4mer carbon saddle, a concentrated load of new hubs for various axle systems, but also the "energy carrier" and a new Würger Skyline seat clamp. Another highlight will come at a later date.

How the current gets to the electrical circuit

The battery for Shimano's Di2 drivetrain provides long-lasting power and can be mounted on the down tube or even in the steerer tube. For mounting in the seatpost, there are official mounting options or even guerrilla methods à la construction foam. The lightweight builders from Tune show their own variant.

Tune returns to Switzerland

The parts are desirable, innovative and, above all, lightweight - and yet no distributor has taken on the import of parts from the Black Forest in the last two years. However, this is set to change in 2015: a distributor who is very familiar with German manufacturers will soon be flying the tune flag in this country.

Tune makes stem alignment easier

The German lightweight specialist Tune not only has a sense for the finest components, but also for useful things like the "Spurtreu" gauge. With this gauge, Tune offers a tool for the correct and simple alignment of the stem.

Storck and Tune now with Swiss distribution

The industry magazine SAZ reports that the Storck bike brand and the premium parts from Tune have a new Swiss importer: the newly founded Parts of Passion GmbH in Arlesheim.
