What is Trending In The Bike World?

Winter? What winter? We are from sunny Southern California and winter here is what people from other parts of the world consider spring weather. We have the best biking weather conditions all year long but there are other places in the world. We got that. Therefore: Enough of the bragging!

Winter will be fading away soon enough, and bikers all over the country will be looking for the first signs of dry ground so that they can take their two-wheeled rides out of hibernation and hit the trails. Whether you're an off-road biker, itching to hit the back roads and mountain trails or you're an on-road enthusiast ready to hit the bike paths throughout the city there are a lot of new things to increase your joy as you hit the road.

What is Trending In The Bike World? Most bikers at the start of each New Year are looking for something to improve their biking experience in one of three ways.

1. They want to improve the quality of their gear.
2. They are looking to improve their level of performance.
3. They're looking for more fun ways to use their bikes.

Well, with the new trends in the biking industry, no matter what you expect from the biking world, you'll finding something fresh and new enough to get your juices flowing.

The 27.5

Mountain bikes have changed over the years in many different ways. They were first introduced to the world with 26" wheels, which everyone loved. However, they soon discovered that larger wheels could go over obstacles much easier than the 26" ones. This lead to the new 29" wheels, which worked well for most riders, but if you had short legs, you didn't appreciate them very much.

The new trend is in the 27.5" wheels, which work as a perfect compromise with a larger wheel to make covering rough terrain much easier but not so large so as to be inconvenient for smaller riders or those concerned about the weight of their bikes. The new 27.5" wheels promise to work well for everyone. It will definitely help to improve your riding performance and your level of as you take to the road.

Upgrades on Wheels and Tires

Bikes have gone through a major transition in recent years and the new modifications have done much for those who wish to enhance their riding performance. For one thing, wheels have progressively gotten lighter but also more durable with the use of better materials. Spoke patterns have been redesigned in newer models and aerodynamics has been factored into the overall design.

If you have a bike with wheels that are more than a few years old, you might want to consider getting an upgrade to one of the newer carbon designed wheels. While some of the top of the line manufacturers will demand a pretty penny for their carbon wheels, which are lighter and stronger, you can still find a high performance wheel made with the high-quality alloy for less than half the price of carbon.

The Fat Bike

While big changes are continually happening in the realm of mountain biking, that doesn't mean that road bikes are not set for a big change as well. Whether you enjoy racing your bike or you're just a recreational biker you'll find that the new Fat Bikes or All Terrain Bikes are worth taking a closer look at. You'd be surprised at how much better your riding performance will be when you're riding on thicker tires. The new 19mm tires will propel you much faster but will be able to absorb much of the road shock better than the thinner wheels of the past.

Ironically, this was a trend that people have been asking for some time now. Before the Fat Bike, many were buying thicker tires and putting them on thinner rims, which would work well to improve their speed but it would interfere with the aerodynamics of the bike's ride. The new Fat Bike allows for thicker tires that are designed to work with the thicker rims for a more aerodynamic ride. The new upgrade also helps you to handle your bike much better than the original "fix it yourself" attempts of many bikers.

Electric Bikes

The electric bike market is booming. There are many electric bikes and kits on the market but only a few past the strict Bike Attack quality test for: best warranty, longevity, technical superiority and overall quality. Our "Best of the Industry Ebikes" all pass these strict quality tests and more: the ebikes Bike Attack carries all won international awards for "Best Electric Bicycles". Among them are bikes from Stromer, KTM, Easy Motion, A2B and Mando Footloose.

There are many more upgrades in the new world of biking for 2015 that you may be surprised to learn about. Aside from the new tubeless tires and new disc brakes there are loads more new changes in the making. While you may not be a pro biker, or are interested in hitting some of the off-road trails for adventure there is still much to be gained from getting in on the new advancements in the biking world. Even if you're only interested in a casual ride around the neighborhood there's something new for you. So, you decide if you're one of the three kinds of people looking for changes in the biking world. Anyone of these new innovations can improve your gear, enhance your performance, and increase your level of enjoyment no matter what type of bike you have.
