- Limited edition "Mozzafiato FAST" espresso machine (200 units) from Rocket Espresso and Zwift with faster heat-up times and Zwift design elements.  
- Technically, the model is based on the Mozzafiato series, but with a fast heating system aimed at users with little time before training or starting work.  
- The editorial team assesses the few visual extras and the limitation as primarily marketing-driven; attractive primarily for Zwift fans with an intention to buy.

- SKS Germany is launching a special edition made in Germany to mark the 60th anniversary of the racing compressor.  
- The pump uses tubular steel, a cast base, brass elements and a real wood handle, complemented by a limited, numbered plaque.  
- Three pump heads cover SV, AV, DV valves and the Schwalbe Clik Valve and combine classic design with the latest valve technology.

60 years of racing compressors: SKS GERMANY launches racing compressor in limited anniversary edition

- Twelve floor pumps from 11.99 to 69.95 euros tested; all fill tyres reliably, but differ greatly in handling and precision.  
- Haptics, stability, low effort, accurate and easy-to-read pressure gauge as well as a tight, easy-to-release pump head are decisive.  
- Acid, Decathlon, SKS and Topeak offer particularly precise pressure gauges; Decathlon is regarded as a good value tip, Topeak and Acid as high-quality all-rounders.

Price-performance tip from 29.99 euros: The best bicycle floor pumps for garage and workshop

- Inexpensive, very light floor pump with smooth pumping action, easy-to-read but coarsely scaled pressure gauge at the top of the cylinder.  
- Clearly wobbly, narrow base, unstable impression at high pressure, overall solid, but only mediocre workmanship.  
- Valve head can be quickly changed between Presta/Auto, but short, angular, with air loss when pulling off and inaccurate pressure display for sporty setups.
