You can find all information about the Eurobike Award in our article about it. Here we show you the award-winning products once again in "close-up". And these are...
Vaude TrailControl 20+ Zero - Climate friendly
The Vaude TrailControl 20+ Zero is a backpack that leaves no trace, at least not a CO2 footprint. How does Vaude achieve this? With a pioneering material made from waste materials and certified biomethane, the origin of which can be perfectly traced. Unfortunately, Vaude only makes it onto the market with a slightly different recipe. Despite all the love for sustainability, the TrailControl's actual task does not fall by the wayside: full functionality when mountain biking.
Price: 170 euros.
Feedback Sports Pro Air Lift - on pump
If you want to lift an e-bike into the assembly stand, you need arms as big as Arnie's! Unless you get help from the pneumatic Feedback Sports Pro Air Lift from Feedback. It can be refuelled with any standard pump and lifts bikes weighing up to 45 kilos to a working height. The other features are familiar: stable tripod, intuitive quick-release fastener and small pack size with a manageable weight. Only the price is steep: 725 euros.
Supernova Starstream Mini Light Bar - Cyclops
The inventors from Breisgau have transplanted their StVZO-approved mini spotlight into the handlebars. There, the tiny device should be perfectly cooled and be able to deliver its 500 lumen output continuously. The light range can be adjusted by turning the handlebars slightly. A special interface can also be used to insert a USB-C module or a holder for an external light, which can be charged at the same time. Costs: 179 euros. supernova-lights.com
Muc-Off Big Bore valve - can't get its neck full
Converting to tubeless? Thanks to tubeless rims, it's now easier than ever. Only the thin valves often still cause trouble and stick or let too little air through. Up to 254 percent more air should flow into the tyre via the big bore valves. A mess when filling the tyre with sealant? That's also a thing of the past. The whole thing is made possible by a coreless design that is opened and closed via a ball valve. Price: 45 euros.
Schwalbe Aerothan Clik Valve - Core business
Plastic hoses have several advantages over classic butyl: they are lighter, roll faster and provide better protection against punctures - this has also our last test confirmed. The material is produced at BASF from pyrolysis oil and replaces 91 per cent of fossil fuels. Now comes the first TPU hose with an aluminium valve and the innovative Clik-Valve core. Simply attach and start pumping. The valve lets more air through and prevents pressure loss when the pump is disconnected. Price: from 28.90 euros.
Puky Next - growing
Your little one has just ridden their first few metres on their new balance bike and it's already too small. This won't happen so quickly with the Puky Next. The well-designed speedster grows from twelve to 14 inches and therefore fits children from two to five years of age. A patented stem ensures that the ergonomics are maintained, which is pretty clever - and also sustainable. So much enthusiasm for the youngsters was worth a Eurobike Award to the jury. Price: 149.99 euros.
Leatt 5.0 Gravity - Air kiss
Good protection doesn't have to weigh a lot - Leatt proves this with the Gravity 5.0. Despite its partial carbon shell, at 750 grams it is said to be lighter than many full carbon models and also significantly better ventilated. A Boa system and interchangeable cheek pads adapt the Gravity 5.0 perfectly to the head, while small buffers on the inside - called 360 Turbine Evo Tech - are designed to protect against rotational forces in the event of a fall. Price: 349 euros.
