2015 Interbike Highlights – Day 2

Powertap released a 3rd type of powermeter. The C1 chain-ring (not crank) based power-meter. Fits on a wide range of alloy and carbon cranks (5 Bolt – 110BCD). The power is based on motion sensors on the chain-rings so no other sensors need to be installed. It can be used with both ANT+ and Bluetooth receivers. Retails at $699 USD. The new P1 pedals (not pictured) are the 2nd system powertap has released and are being well received. Mountain Bikers will be pleased to hear they can take advantage of new G3 Disc-Hub thru- axle models!

Pinerello released the new Dogma F8 – TDF2015. Based on the Tour and World Championship successes this bike brings aerodynamics and great driving feel together. Pictured is 1 of 4 paint schemes Chris Froome used in the Tour. Note the Rhino on the Head-tube as tribute to Froome’s wildlife conservation efforts.

Shwalbe releases Pro-1 Tubeless road tire featuring snake skin technology to help prevent cuts, a lighter weight and lower rolling resistance. Installation is also said to be improved.

Shimano was showing off their new single-ring XT Group. Their other big push (not pictured) this year is with their electronic assist technology called ‘STePS’ . This technology couples electronic shifting to electronic assist. ( https://shimano-steps.com/ )

Campognolo releases improved electronic tuning system that allows the rider to do the initial setup and zero. While in the saddle the rider can make fine tune adjustments. Further adjustments such as number of gears that can be shifted at once, can be done in the MyCampy app .
