@salsacycles
Salsa launched a brand new single speed gravel bike this week, ditching the mech and advertising the bike for muddy conditions, sounds like a trip to the pain cave for us! The bike will be available as a frameset only in the UK and it'll come with two different dropouts, one for the single speed fans and one for those who want to run a 1x drivetrain. More details here.
@zerodebikes
New Zealand brand Zerode names bikes with gearbox bikes and have up until now used a chain to drive the bike. They have just announced that they are putting a belt drive version into production. The Gates Carbon Belt Drive will be available on all Taniwha (27.5") and Katipo (29er) platforms.
@restrap
Restrap teases a set of bike packing bags weighing but 1kg, available to preorder on the 29th March.
@wahoofitnessofficial
If you are a Wahoo user and an e-bike rider then you'll be interested in a new update for the EMEMNT Bolt - it now intergrates with Giant and Specialized e-bikes meaning you can see battery life, range, percentage assistance and things like how much time you have spent in each assistance mode. Oh, yeah and it also comes in stealth black now....
@kask_sport
Kask has just launched a new full face helmet. It's their first one, it's carbon and it's claimed to weigh just 750g (size medium). It retails at a whopping £470 though!!
