Kalkhoff Pro Connect S DualDrive and Pro Connect Deore LX electric bikes, plus other news

We nearly missed how good it is - the Kalkhoff Pro Connect
9 speed Deore LX

We've really not made enough noise about one of the most interesting models to join Kalkhoff's 2010 line-up - the new Pro Connect 9-speed Deore LX.

In truth, we didn't spot its potential at first and have only ordered relatively small numbers this year, which is unfortunate as it has all the makings of an absolute classic.

Much like its big brother the Pro Connect S Deore XT, Kalkhoff have built on the established Pro Connect Alfine's lean and responsive design by adding Magura hydraulic rim brakes, suspension forks and 9-speed derailleur gearing.This last feature actually makes it a little less expensive for Kalkhoff to build than the Alfine version.

So we're very keen to have some out on the roads and to hear what owners think of them. Which means we're able to offer this model, initially to subscribers only and until numbers dwindle, at a price of £1,845 (website price £1,995) using code pcs9g150. That's an extra gear and nice springy forks, yet less expense than the regular £1,895 2010 Pro Connect. Very tempting indeed.

Our production lists show that the Pro Connect 9-speed Deore LX is already available in good numbers, so your pre order will benefit from a short lead time on this occasion.

Model of the month II Pro Connect S DualDrive We should also mention that a second version of the exciting Pro Connect S is available for the first time this year. It has all the performance of the Deore XT version, possibly more, but with SRAM's 27-speed DualDrive II gearing system. This combines a 9-speed derailleur with a 3-speed hub. Only available in very small numbers from this Spring. Early pre-orders are advised so that we can reserve some for our customers.	NukeLight & Winkku offer The Nukelight is going to be one of our most popular 50cycles products in 2010. We're very keen to have more of them lighting up the nations roads right now so we've slashed the price from £48.95 to £39.95. Nukelight it's a beam come true. We're also selling the Winkku for £25, down from £29.95. Go get 'em.	Further reductions We've shaved a further £100 off the Tasmans in our sale. Fully kitted out with hydraulic brakes, 8-speed hub, lights, built-in wheel lock,fully enclosed chainguard - these are very tasty electric bikes, tough enough to take out of town for rides in the wild (a couple were used to mark out a Pennine run last Spring!). We also have a few 2009 Pro Connect S 60cm and Pro Connect Alfines in three gents sizes on offer. Once they're gone, they're gone and it will be 2010 prices all the way.
