Cool kids' helmets, more with ABS brakes and stealth brake levers

Abus YouDrop Helm

Stuff picks

If you're out and about on pump tracks and in bike parks, you'll notice that kids are really on the rise on mountain bikes. Of course, a safe helmet is a must, and Abus has one specially made for kids. At Bosch, the signs are also pointing to safety: when it comes to ABS, the e-bike giant not only cooperates exclusively with Magura, but also brings Tektro on board. And at Sram, brakes that change the look on the handlebars are rolling into the portfolio.

A helmet for brave kids

Abus YouDrop Helm

The Abus Gravity category is growing with two completely new models for children. Thanks to more and more pump tracks and child-friendly areas in bike parks, the youngsters who are doing lap after lap there are getting younger and younger. Despite all the fun, the right equipment is essential and the helmet is at least as important as the right bike.

Closer to the handlebars: Sram Stealth brake levers

Sram Stealth Bremsen

In the tailwind of the new transmission shifting system, Sram is also introducing new brakes: these have a so-called stealth brake lever. This brings the reservoir and the brake hose closer to the handlebars. This allows tighter radii if the line is to disappear into the stem or head tube.

Bosch drives ABS forward

Bosch Tektro ABS

The e-bike ABS presented by Bosch last year enables safer braking on any surface. And the system is designed to significantly reduce the risk of falls and rollovers. In order to make this safety gain even more accessible, Bosch is cooperating with Taiwanese brake specialist Tektro in addition to Magura.
