Caffélatex™ is a truly innovative tyre sealant and puncture preventive. The first of its advantages over standard latex-based sealants comes from a foaming agent (Actifoam™), activated by wheel movement.

Centrifugal force drives standard latex-based sealants against the outer circumference of the tyre; CafféLatex™ foaming action causes it to fill the tyre’s entire internal cavity, making it much more effective against sidewall punctures.

Its fast sealing action makes ideal for MTB and road tubeless, tubular and standard tyres: it repairs punctures up to 6mm (mtb) and 3mm (road).

Thanks to its formula, Caffélatex is a Continue reading »

It Comes from the United States the absolute 2009 news for the fitness world and indoor cycling. It’s called Realryder ABF8 and it is the first and only indoor bike that moves just like a real road bike. Thanks to a patented system of mechanical linkages and pivoting the rear position of the flywheel, the Realryder ABF8 is able to simulate pedaling over an outdoor bike.

Realryder ABF8 is the evolution of the traditional and static indoor bike and at the same time it is an excellent tool for a complete exercise. The workout on the bike requires a full physical movement: not just the legs and buttocks, as in traditional indoor bike, but also arms, shoulders and all the stabilizer muscles (core) are involved.

The bike oscillation encourages the development and strengthening of the stabilizing muscles, stimulus for proprioceptive balance.

The rear position of the flywheel with a diameter greater than that one of the traditional indoor bike allows a much more fluid and Continue reading »
