Casper from Whispbar shows us their flush bar roof rack system. The Whispbar is the only wind tunnel tested and designed cross bar system that is aerodynamic and quiet. Whispbar also pays a lot of attention to the style and design of their rack systems. Whispbar claims that the Flush Bar has an “aerodynamic profile that leads the way in noise reduction by reducing drag up to 70%.”

New from Light and Motion is the Urban 700 commuter light. It has a certified lumen rating of 700 lumens. Run times are High – 1:30 hours, Mid – 3:00 hours, Low – 6:00 hours, Flash 18:00 hours. Weight is 112 grams and has a handlebar mount and helmet mount. The Urban 700 comes in bronze or titanium colors. Because of the light weight, the Urban can be used on the helmet as well as the bar. The new peened reflector optimizes the throw of the light and gives added spread and a very smooth beam. The light also includes amber side lighting for added safety and a lock-out mode for travel.
