SHOW ZONE
Barkbusters: The Australian handguards specialist has announced the release of its new state-of-
the- art, aerodynamically designed AERO-GP lever guards - “conceived with safety in mind, but
created to be beautiful when fitted to your machine,” says Robert Veljanoski, Barkbusters General
Manager. “The innovative design will complement the look of today’s street bike aesthetics while
providing the essential protection needed to prevent accidental activation of the brake or clutch
lever during close quarters racing on the track, with street riders protected when riding in large
groups, tight spaces and during lane filtering on congested urban roads. The adjustable reach means
a perfect fit and they are sold with an additional aerofoil included.“ The sleek, functional aerofoil
can be fitted for increased wind protection or removed in seconds for a compact sporty style;

Sol Motors: The Stuttgart, Germany based
designer says the 2018 German Design
Award-winning ‘Pocket Rocket’ is not an
E-bike, as it goes too fast (though it is
battery powered), nor a moped, as it has no
pedals, but instead is a ‘NoPed’ - “defining
a new category of electric two-wheelers”,
saying that it is the “perfect urban
commuter vehicle”; www.sol-motors.com
D.I.D. Europe: The chain of choice for chain
drive conversions, recent new technology
from the Japanese specialist has included next
generation “Anti-Shock Performance” chain

holes to deform over time - resistance to such
deformation is said to be increased by up to
25 percent; www.dideu.it
