News from Bulls: The sports brand of the Cologne dealer association ZEG is equipping selected 2021 models with what is perhaps the best smartphone holder on the market. But even those who are not looking for a new bicycle or e-bike should take a look at the innovative mobile phone case from Vienna.
Whether displaying ride data or navigation: the smartphone has long since replaced specialized devices such as bike computers or GPS navigation systems in favor of many bicycle users. After all, the phone is always with you, you're used to handling it and, last but not least, you're happy to be able to elicit additional functions from the all-rounder with the touchscreen.
Really satisfactory solutions for attaching the smartphone to the handlebars have so far been in short supply. Holders attached with O-rings don't exactly inspire confidence; Covers that are mounted on the handlebars according to the principle of the worm screw clamp can only be dismantled with difficulty. After all, you want to be able to pick up your cell phone in a flash – for example when someone calls. Oh, and the holder should of course also be reasonably shapely and compact.
Completely successful
A really all-round successful solution is called SP Connect. The Vienna-based manufacturing company has taken on the most important applications - bicycles and motorcycles as well as use in sports, in everyday life and in the car - and adapted the in-house fastening system accordingly. This consists of a special smartphone case that is available for all iPhones from 5 and up, as well as numerous Samsung Galaxy and some Huawei models. A locking mechanism is incorporated into its cushion-shaped back, which is rotated by 90° when placed on the counterpart on the actual holder. It's child's play and leads to an extremely secure connection, which also works great off-road in Velomotion's practical test. There is no need to worry about losing your phone on a rough descent; at the same time, the connection can be released without any effort when the smartphone is removed. Accessories include a waterproof cover that protects the touchscreen from rain, dust and road dirt when it is fully functional.
In the case, the smartphone becomes a handy hand flatterer; Unlike other solutions, I like that the SP Connect case has no protruding parts – the smartphone is still smooth and fits into the pocket as usual even with the special case.
The outstanding function of SP Connect has not escaped the attention of Zweirad-Einkaufs-Genossenschaft eG. The product managers of the sporty ZEG brand Bulls particularly liked the stem adapter, and so the Cologne dealer association decided to deliver selected 2021 models with a pre-installed SP-Connect headset cap. Bulls Copperhead EVO and Copperhead, Aminga, E-Stream EVO and EVA as well as Zarena and Sharptail come with the practical connection technology in the new model year; In addition, the ZEG dealers will stock cases for the most common smartphones. Anyone buying a new Bulls bicycle or e-bike in 2021 will always have their smartphone in view. All other cyclists will find what they are looking for in the SP Connect web shop, where various bundles are available from as little as 40 euros.
