ROAD DRIVE 160 psi // 11 bar<br />

The lightweight, CNC machined<br />

aluminium Road Drive is an elegant<br />

and super durable hand pump.<br />

It has an overlapping handle, oversized<br />

piston and our Flex Hose for superior<br />

pumping efficiency and usability.<br />

Wether you’re a WorldTour<br />

professional or a recreational<br />

cyclist, the Road Drive is perfect<br />

for roadside tire repair.<br />

Lumos is an award-winning, innovative<br />

bicycle helmet, and the first we’ve seen to<br />

really nail the seemingly simple and elegant<br />

concept behind integrating lights and turn<br />

signals into a bicycle helmet.<br />

Started in a basement garage by two<br />

engineers in Boston, the founders got started<br />

tinkering on Lumos as a side project. Both<br />

were regular bicycle commuters, and often<br />

found themselves biking at night without<br />

lights when they forgot them.<br />

Launched on Kickstarter in 2015, Lumos<br />

turned a lot of heads when it ended up raising<br />

over $800,000 USD during their month long<br />

campaign, making it the highest funded bike<br />

helmet crowdfunding campaign ever. It was a<br />

daunting engineering and design challenge.<br />

Not only did the helmet have to have the<br />

LED and electronics features functioning<br />

flawlessly, but they had to integrate them<br />

into the helmet in a way that would not<br />

compromise the impact absorption aspects<br />

of the bike helmet – a critical factor.<br />

Lumos reemerged in September 2016,<br />

shipping over 10,000 Lumos Helmets to<br />

Kickstarter backers around the world. The<br />

Lumos Helmet has proved to be a hit with<br />

city cyclists. Cars appear to give riders<br />

more space, and drivers seem to genuinely<br />

understand and respond to the turn signals.<br />

Lumos has swept a number of industry<br />

awards since then including the Eurobike<br />

Gold Award, the Red Dot Design Award, and<br />

was named one of the six Designs of the Year<br />

by The Design Museum in London.<br />

The Lumos team isn’t resting on their<br />

laurels, and are already actively working on<br />

the next generation of their ground-breaking<br />

products. Keep a lookout for them on the<br />

news and on the streets!<br />
