Buying advice

Electronics

- Quad Lock comes out on top in the test, but at 25–90 euros it is the most expensive option in the range, as it requires a mount and a model-specific protective case.
- The bayonet lock secures the smartphone firmly to the stem, either vertically or horizontally; it requires some force to turn, but feels very sturdy.
- The slim, robust case provides protection for everyday use whilst maintaining ease of use; accessories include adaptors for aero handlebars, the stem and a rain cover.

Stays rock-solid: The Quad Lock Out Front Mount + Mag Case is the test winner

- Fidlock Vacuum combines magnetic force and vacuum technology, offering ease of use and high smartphone compatibility via an adhesive pad or case.  
- Weighing 50–51 g, the mount is very light, has a compact design and leaves all control buttons accessible, though it wobbles slightly on rough sections.  
- It can be fitted using clamps for various handlebar diameters or cable ties on aero handlebars; the editorial team awarded it a ‘recommended buy’ rating.

- The Infini Glaux and Aegle Pro form a connected lighting system that can be controlled simultaneously and with minimal distraction via a handlebar remote.
- The Glaux front light offers up to 1,200 lumens, a brightness sensor, multiple modes, USB-C fast charging, IPX6 protection and costs €67.99.
- The Aegle Pro rear light delivers up to 65 lumens, a wide beam angle, auto-standby, energy-saving mode, IPX6 protection and costs €24.99.

- Cycling kit such as sunglasses, a sports watch, a rucksack, a hydration vest and a multifunctional scarf is suitable for a variety of outdoor sports.
- Additional items such as arm warmers, wind vests, socks, headlamps and base layers enhance comfort, safety and protection from the elements in many disciplines.
- Versatile products offer better value for money, save storage space and can be used flexibly for a range of activities.

Cycling gear with added value: these products can also be used in other sports

- Edge 850 offers precise data collection with multi-frequency GPS, up to 12 hours of battery life and customisable data fields.  
- Varia RearVue 820 STVZO detects vehicles up to 175 metres away, displays position and speed difference on compatible Edge devices.  
- In the Garmin bike ecosystem, radar and riding data are synchronised in real time and analysed in detail in Garmin Connect.

- TURNTEC T2 is a universal, USB-C-chargeable handlebar end indicator system for bicycles, comparable to motorbike indicators.
- Installation without tools in just a few minutes, flashing time approx. 10 seconds, configurable up to continuous flashing (maximum 4 minutes).
- Significant safety gain at night, uncertainty during the day due to lack of feedback; operation with the ball of the thumb requires familiarisation.

- Acid smartphone holder: robust metal construction, tool-free assembly, supports both portrait and landscape orientation, priced in the lower mid-range of the test group  
- Very secure, wobble-free hold thanks to a finely adjustable knurled screw, though the side control buttons may be partially obscured depending on the smartphone  
- At 170 g, the heaviest mount in the test; bulky; tilt can only be adjusted with a tool; requires precise alignment on the stem; protective case recommended

Smartphone holder review: the Acid mobile phone holder from Cube

- The Canyon Predict is a prototype carbon road bike featuring 360° sensors, AI, radar, cameras and a handlebar display for early hazard detection.  
- Edge AI processes riding and environmental data locally, issues warnings via the display, an AR helmet, lights and haptic feedback, and automatically lowers the seat post when necessary.  
- It is unclear whether the concept will make it to series production; costs, complexity and the argument that motorised vehicles are safer are considered potential points of criticism.

- UCI limits bike computers to 126 x 71 mm from 1 January 2028, justified with lower cognitive load and more safety in the race.  
- From 1 July 2026, front pockets on jerseys will be banned, except for radios; UCI cites aerodynamics, safety and equal opportunities.  
- Also from 1 July 2026, stricter, more uniform sanctions will apply for non-compliant equipment in several UCI disciplines.
