Jury Verdict This is how to do retailing! With their new Dealer Center ,the Winora Group proves without doubt that they’ve understood both the needs of end-consumers and bike shops. “Plug & Play“ installations, automatic updates, and timer-mode: for retailers the Dealer Center is an attractive, worry-free package which clearly adds value to the point of sale, making their jobs easier without tying up additional capacity.

Jury Verdict COMMENCAL offers junior riders a radical foundation to start their riding careers with the SUPREME 20. The robust full-suspension bike offers 80 to 100mm of travel which has been specially adapted to the needs of lighter pilots. Grippy tyres and disc brakes with adapted levers add an extra level of confidence. And if confidence gets too high and the rider needs to make an emergency exit, the low standover height gives plenty of room to maneuver on the bike. The single-speed gearing and robust suspension pivot should ensure low maintenance and long-lasting trail fun.

Jury Verdict After just a few metres on the first rough trail using the USWE F4 Pro Hydration Pack, you’ll ask yourself why all other rucksacks aren’t fitted with the ‘No Dancing Monkey’ four point retention system. The stability, comfort and fit of the faultlessly constructed backpack are impressive and unmatched by any other pack. Combined with an effective size adjustment, a perfectly functioning drink bladder and sufficient attachment points for helmet and protectors, the F4 Pro Hydration Pack isn’t just the perfect companion for all bike adventures – it is simply the best bike rucksack available on the market.

Jury Verdict The RockShox RS-1 packs more innovation than you would think at first sight. The high-end inverted carbon fibre construction really puts this innovative production product in an exclusive category all of its own. With a competitive weight and outstanding trail performance, this fork (available in travel options from 80-120mm) really knows how to win hearts. Both the technical and visual integration of the fork into the whole bike ‘concept’ are ground breaking. The futuristic and elegant design fits perfectly with the front end of modern high-end composite frames. The age-old problem of rigidity with inverted suspension forks is countered effectively by the voluminous Torque Tube axle design and matching front hub. “Thinking outside the box” – we love it!

Jury Verdict With the SPRY hydration pack, SOURCE has focused on future riders, helping to reduce the barriers for kids to enter the sport. The outdoor specialists recognised the need for a reliable and simple way of providing kids with water, but also that it’s much easier to keep their motivation high with specially adapted products. For that reason the SPRY hydration pack looks cool and keeps kids stoked with its secure fit – even on the smallest of backs it doesn’t jump around in a dangerous way, as is the case with packs that are too big. The quality is at the same level as adult-sized products, but the bladder size has been sensibly reduced.
