O-Synce Usee head-up display

The O-Synce Usee beams ride data directly to the biker's eyes. The head-up display is simply attached to the helmet and paired with the appropriate end device. Particularly exciting for e-bikers: the Usee can serve as a display for a Specialized bike and show the support level, cadence, battery status and much more. Price: 130 euros.

Mr. Wolf Smartmousse in cross-section: The rubber-like core fills almost the entire tyre. The thin tube presses the Smartmousse into the rim well and makes the system adjustable by means of air pressure. <a href="e_mtb/e_mtb_news_neuheiten/new-mr-wolf-smartmousse/a38838.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">Find all the details here.</a>Photo: Florentin Vesenbeckh Mr. Wolf Smartmousse in cross-section: The rubber-like core fills almost the entire tyre.

Florentin Vesenbeckh

Florentin Vesenbeckh has been on a mountain bike since he was ten years old. Even on his very first tour, he focussed on single trails - and even after more than 30 years in the saddle of an MTB, these are still the quintessence of biking for him. He spent his youth competing in various bike disciplines and later his cycling career was characterised by years as a riding technique coach. Professionally, the experienced test editor now focusses on e-mountainbikes. In recent years, the qualified sports scientist and trained journalist has tested over 300 bikes and more than 40 different motor systems in the laboratory and in practice.
