Eurobike 2008 - Bike Helmets, Floor Pumps, Lighting

Eurobike 2008 saw the introduction of many new products across the biking spectrum. Here are some product change highlights:

• Giro will replace its top-end helmet, the E2, with the Athlon - like the A2, the Athlon will sport the Roc-Loc 4 fit system and will have 23 cooling vents
• British-owned Charge Bikes has a prototype kids bike with 14" wheels, distinctive graphics, and weighing in at about half of most current kids bike models - it will have youth-friendly narrow diameter bars and hand grips as well as adjustable reach easy-action brake levers, both features aimed at making biking easier for all size kids
• Exposure Lights introduces the "Redeye" - it is a single LED light that is super bright and charges off the main Exposure lighting systems, either handlebar or helmet mount
• About helmets again: Specialized has a brand new trail style helmet called the "Tactic" - it has the ProFit retention system and includes a visor setup
• Lezyne now has 6 pump models in its floor pump line, one of which, the CNC Floor Drive, can manage 220 psi
