InsideOutdoor | SUMMER 2022 29 Knog Rear Bike Light The new and versatile Blinder Link rear bike light allows riders the freedom to choose where to mount their taillight based on the type of riding they do. It is designed with two separate mounting systems, each allowing for optimal road visibility. Blinder Link Rack affixes to the rear of any rack, leaving an unobstructed view of the light to other road users, while Blinder Link Saddle mounts just below the saddle, keeping the seatpost clear of clutter and at the best position for maximum visibility. Retailing at $60, both the Blinder Link Saddle and Blinder Link Rack are lightweight and waterproof. Ortlieb The innovative Seat-Lock fastening system of the waterproof Seat-Pack QR makes it quick to mount regardless of the bike style. After removal, the fastening system leaves no trace and can be used with a dropper post as the special adapter clamp only takes up 4.3 centimeters. Thanks to the inner reinforcement along with the four straps and compression valve, the content is securely fixed in place and the entire pack remains stable without any bouncing on the saddle stem. If the 13-liter volume is not enough, an elastic cord fastener is present for stowing a gilet or vest on the upper side of the 625-gram pack. EVOC Airbag Backpacks Yeah, this isn’t exactly for everyone, but it’s too cool to pass up. For the first time, EVOC has integrated an airbag system into a protector backpack for commuters with the goal of minimizing the risk of injuries while cycling in the city. In collaboration with Minerva Airbag Systems, EVOC developed a sensor-controlled, inflatable airbag protector aimed at reducing impact forces in bicycle crashes. From now on, the abbreviation “A.I.R.” will mark all EVOC products with the integrated airbag protection system: the Airbag Integrated Rescue System. Hollywood Racks The new Destination e-bike rack provides a convenient way to load and transport e-bikes, which can be much heavier than a street or mountain bike. The hitch-mounted Destination E has the hauling capacity of two bikes, up to 70-lbs per bike. Although designed with e-bikes in mind, the adjustable frame grabbers will accommodate a wide variety of bicycles with a wheelbase up to 50” and tires up to 4.5”. The No-Wobble System eliminates slack between the receiver hitch and the rack without the use of tools. SRP is $700.
