A New Year is always an exciting time. We are past the shortest day, the evenings are getting a little bit brighter and we can smell Spring on the horizon. As we gear up for another exciting year at Merlin, have a look at what new products have already landed with us this January.
BBB BHS-52 Action Stem
Perfect for the gravel riders seeking some extra comfort and shock absorption, the BBB Suspension Stem is a simple to fit and easy to use option perfect for those heading off-road. Available in multiple lengths with upto 20mm of shock absorption this is a much cheaper and lighter option than fitting a full suspension fork to your gravel bike.
Bosch Easy Pump Cordless Air Pump
A new and updated version of the popular battery powered pump, the Bosch Easy Pump now features a new head that makes attaching it to your valve quicker and more efficient. Perfect for keeping at home or in your car when heading to trail centres or cyclocross races, it has a maximum inflation of 150psi and a clear digital display when in use.
Spatz TUFR2 Gravel/Off-Road Overshoes
Featuring a new and improved design that is tougher for the demands of off-road use, the new TUFR2 overshoes offer ultimate protection for those inevitable wet and cold days. With a improved vulcanised sole for hike-a-bike sections, flexible but thick neoprene and a tough zipper they are the perfect overshoe for demanding conditions.
Challenge Tires Double Wheel Bag
A product we have been asked for on numerous occasions, and one that is now available exclusively in the UK to us here at Merlin. Perhaps the best wheel bag on the market as it can hold 4 wheels with tyres, it is often seen being used by the likes of Thibau Nys, Cameron Mason and Anna Kay at professional cyclocross races. Now we are heading to the end of the cross season, keep your wheels safe and secure all in one easy to carry bag!
Trickstuff Disc Brake Pads
A new brand to Merlin, Trickstuff are the makers of some of the finest quality braking systems available in the mountain bike world. With brakes retailing at over £1000 they offer some of the strongest braking available, but one way to improve your current brakes at a fraction of the cost is to use their disc brake pads. Available in 3 different compounds and to fit all popular brake manufacturers now is a great time to check your pads and give these a try.
Thomson Elite G2 Road/Gravel Stems
Making a welcome return to the Thomson brand is their 2-bolt stem. A beautifully machined aluminium stem that would look great on any road or gravel bike. Available in black or silver, and in lengths from 70mm all the way up to 130mm, it is the perfect handlebar stem for the rider looking for something a little bit different.
