MONOWALKER



Make your hike through the Alps, tundra or desert become a fulfilling experience. The MONOWALKER contributes to it. Due to the smart geometry, you only carry half of the weight of your equipment on your hips, without missing out on comfort and supplies. There is not going to be any weight on shoulder or neck. Because all the remaining weight is on the back wheel, your hike becomes much more relaxing.
If you want to stop, in order to take a deep breath, you can relax and just lean back because the disk brakes will hold you and the baggage.

MONOWALKER follows you, wherever you want to go to. You are not restricted in moving while pulling it, because the MONOWALKER has a special hipbelt. Therefore, one-sided impact on shoulders, neck or back diminishes. Additionally, by going uphill and downhill, your knees become released, because you are carrying only half the weight of your equipment. On downhill routes, the brakes help you, because you can choose to pull the disk brake, so that it makes the trailer move slow constantly.

The MONOWALKER trailer follows you through all terrain. We have not found one trail in the Alps that would have been impossible to pass for the trailer; singletrails, screes, rooted trails- MONOWALKER follows you.

When the trail becomes a fixed rope route, the MONOWALKER can be used as backpack, with an effort of just seconds. The substructure of the trailer and the handlebar need to come off, and the “harness” connects with the main frame.
Eventually, the major weight will be supported by the hipbelt. Therefore, even very heavy equipment can be carried.

Orbea Alma 29er


Everyone should want this bike? Light and Fun.


From our belief in the alternative geometry, and being first in the industry to introduce a monocoque carbon 29er, this high-end carbon race machine combines the advantages of a 29” configuration in a hard tail set-up with a built-to-win spec. More angular momentum for greater traction, increased stability at higher speeds in the corners, smoothing out the washboards and superior capability to roll over the obstacles, are some of the advantages of the 29” wheel diameter. The sleek, monocoque carbon fiber lay-up takes Toray M30S and T700 carbon fibers and positions them in the fabrication process to balance stiffness and agility where the rider needs them most. The innovative shape of the front triangle optimizes power transfer and handling, while the longer chainstays and 4-point rear triangle provide passive suspension and torsional stiffness not found in a conventional rear triangle. Refined glossy natural carbon laminate and silver paint reflect the bling of the build with full Shimano XTR componentry, Rock Shox Reba 29er fork and Mavic Crossmax 29 wheels.

Bobble Bottle


Bobble aims to make water better and become the Britta of sports/water bottles. A great idea why wait for water to filter then pour into a bottle, just fill and go. It is also BPA free and reusable, how nice.

With it only costing $9.95 for an 18.5oz, what do you have to lose, when normal water cost $2 at WAWA. They say you should replace the filter after 40 gallons thats 640oz 34.59 refills. so at roughly $2 for 24oz that is 26.66 bottles @ $2=$53.00 seems like a savings.
Really you can't loose.
