#video | Rad Race Fixed42 2016

RAD RACE is a bunch of friends and bike enthusiasts who came together in 2013 to organize wild bike races all over Europe and to create their own cycling apparel. These guys are truly living their dream and started their own cycling brand, putting all their hearts, time and energy into that thing. Their races are exciting and adrenalin-filled events with loud music, fun people and breathtaking competitions. They unite all the different bike crews, scenes and people for one event - all with a professional DIY and punkrock attitude.

#video | 8bar Adventures - Schneekoppe

Hi riders!

Today we bring you a video from 8bar bikes, it's really beautiful, not about fixies, but...amazing!

Max and Stefan were looking for an adventure not too far away from Berlin, which they can do with their 8bar KRONPRINZ road bikes. So they decided to climb the Schneekoppe which was the highest elevation close by. Unfortunately there is only a ten kilometer long cobbled road in a really bad condition leading until the peak. It is said to be doable with Mountainbikes only...

#video | The SCRIPT 2015 by Bombtrack

Few months ago, we received the next video...and I think it's time to share it...

The Script has undergone a serious transformation, slicker meaner and more performance focused than before. The geometry is more aggressive, with steeper head and seat tube angles, the fork has a tapered steerer keeping things stiff and stable. Spec’d out with SRAM Omniums, our Drome wheel set and new Ergo-drop or pursuit bar and you have one formidable street and criterium machine.

#video | 8bar KRZBERG v6

The 8bar KRZBERG v6 is out now!!! Triple butted 6066 aluminium for the frameset and a full carbon fork make the frame the lightest 8bar frameset that we ever produced.

Axel and Jule riding the 8bar KRZBERG v6 in Berlin.
