Market: The French bicycle accessories manufacturer Zéfal from Jargeau has dealt with the question of how everyday life for cyclists can be made even easier. The result is very useful tools and parts, ranging from the fine smartphone cover to the extremely practical tubeless tank.
Smartphone accessories from the bicycle accessories manufacturer
Nothing works without a smartphone these days! Even when biking, the smartphone is part of it - and rightly so. Regardless of whether it is navigation or a call for help in the event of a breakdown, the mobile phone can provide valuable or even life-saving services. But what to do with the device? Zéfal has a very practical solution for this "problem": The Z Console Full Kit consisting of Z Bike Mount Lite bicycle handlebar mount, smartphone cover and rain cover. The handlebar holder is installed without tools using O-rings, and the smartphone can be attached to the holder with just one hand and a click. The water-repellent rain cover not only protects the smartphone in the rain, but also in the event of falls or hits. Regardless of the protective function, the touchscreen function is of course retained. The kit is available for the iPhone 7, iPhone 7+, Samsung S7 and Samsung S7 Edge at a price of EUR 34,95. The Bike Mount Lite bicycle handlebar mount is also available separately for EUR 14,95.
Tubeless assembly made easy
As advantageous as tubeless tires may be, the initial assembly or tire change is often a very difficult undertaking. One thing is clear: the air has to be pressed into the tires in a matter of seconds – a very laborious and annoying task with a conventional bicycle pump. With the tubeless tank from Zéfal, this problem should be a thing of the past. The air stored in the tank is released suddenly and without pressure loss. Due to sufficient dimensioning and a maximum of 16 bar air pressure, the air volume is even sufficient for 29" tires. The Zéfal tubeless tank, made in France, is filled up via the integrated connection with a conventional floor pump - electricity is therefore not required. The tubeless tank can therefore also be used on the go. The price is 89,95 euros – without an air pump. The Zéfal Profil Max FP60 floor pump with beech wood handle and anodised aluminum pump tube is a good example here. The pump, also made in France, is available for 49,95 euros.
Bicycle mirror for touring riders
It never hurts to look backwards – especially not on the road! For safety-conscious cyclists, Zéfal has the Espion Z56 bicycle mirror in its range at a price of 19,95 euros. With a mirror area of 56 cm², the Zéfal Espion Z56 is one of the largest bicycle mirrors on the market. Features of the mirror are the mirror surface made of chrome-plated, unbreakable ABS and the rod made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic. To protect the mirror, it can of course be folded in. The bicycle mirror Espion Z56 is also suitable for mounting on e-bikes.
