CONTEC News 2025
New Icons for the New Season
1st July 2024 marks the official launch of our new bike parts and accessories for the upcoming 2025 model year! The time has finally come, and we can show you what we've been working on over the last few months to give bikers like you an even better cycling experience.
For the new season, we have looked to our old creations for inspiration and created new memorable ones. We have not only improved and redesigned popular bicycle parts such as our Drop-A-Gogo seatpost but have also developed completely new product series based on well-known CONTEC families. The result? New, powerful "Air Support" pumps, even more comfortable "Anatomic" saddles and much more.
Here you will find an overview of all new bike parts, new accessories and new bike tools from CONTEC.
CONTEC Drop-A-Gogo II – dropper seatposts
Motivated by the success of our first generation of the Drop-A-Gogo dropper seatpost, we have listened carefully to feedback from bikers like you and are now proud to present the Drop-A-Gogo II!
The new version brings numerous improvements. The design update is also impressive - both the end ring and the down tube received a stylish facelift. Of course, you don't have to do without the familiar functions of our popular Drop-A-Gogo - the Drop-A-Gogo II can still be infinitely adjusted in height using a mechanical lever. And in a few seconds, even while riding.
Speaking of levers: there are now also new levers for mechanical dropper seatposts, such as the Drop-A-Gogo II: the CONTEC Drop-A-Lever Connect for mounting on the brake lever and the Drop-A-Lever GL with compatibility for the CONTEC G-Link system. This is also supplied as standard with the Drop-A-Gogo.
CONTEC Air Support – floor pumps
You know them, you love them and now our Air Support family has a new addition. Say hello to the new generation of Air Support hand compressors! The pressure was literally on to surpass the first-class standard of the well-known Air Support Sport” or the “Air Support Stealth”. Nevertheless, we are incredibly proud to present this airy update to you.
Air Support Max
Maximum riding pleasure is achieved best with maximum tyre pressure! The Air Support Max reaches up to 11 bar or 160 psi and fits all Schrader (AV), Presta (SV) and Dunlop (DV) valves thanks to its triple valve head. Two enclosed adapters offer additional compatibility with ball and air mattress valves.
These dimensions, as well as the ergonomic palm design and the large step-on feature, ensure that you do not have to adopt an unhealthy posture when pumping. You can always keep an eye on the air pressure on the large pressure gauge.
Air Support Boost
With the Air Support Boost, we finally created a floor pump with an air tank. Is ideal for your tubeless tires, but can also be used as a normal floor pump.
Just a few pumps are required to reach an air pressure of up to 11 bar or 160 psi. To fill the tank, the kick lever must be pointed upwards. Once the desired volume of air has been reached, press the lever down again and the air flows out of the hose all at once. If you want to use the Air Support Boost as a normal floor pump, the lever must be in its neutral, horizontal position. The Twin Valve head fits both Schrader (AV) and Presta (SV) valves.
Air Support Twist
The Air Support Twist is also equipped with a triple-valve head and two adapters The special feature of this floor pump is the rotating pressure gauge! This saves space during transport and storage. The maximum air pressure of up to 11 bar or 160 psi can be read from almost any angle. The Air Support Twist is the little brother of the Air Support Max, but with a little twist. ;)
CONTEC Air Support – mini pumps
To ensure that your big preparation and planning of your next bike tour is not in vain, this item in particular should not be missing from your packing list: a reliable hand pump!
Discover our new CONTEC Air Support mini pumps and be impressed by useful features such as the triple-valve head or the air pressure change lever. First time in our pump range: a battery-powered pump!
CONTEC Anatomic & Co. – saddles
We have turned our entire saddle range on its head and developed 25 new saddles to fulfil the different comfort requirements of numerous cyclists in the best way possible. In our new range, you will find saddles for commuters, e-bikers, mountain bikers, road cyclists, bike packers and even kids! You can expect high quality recycled materials, clever functions and stylish designs.
Anatomic
The CONTEC Anatomic saddles made from high density PU foam with comfort gel insert offer you comfort and freedom of movement on all your tours. Another practical feature is the built-in handle, which makes transporting your bike even easier. The durable and lightweight plastic core shell with double density (D2) and the elastomer suspension serve to cushion uneven surfaces Incidentally, the suspension and the PU foam inside the saddle are made from recycled materials!
Sonic
Thanks to their special anti-slip design, CONTEC Sonic saddles keep you safe at high speeds and on winding roads. That's why they are also ideal for e-bikes! The saddles consist of an AirFoam filling that absorbs shocks. If you ride over a cobbled road or kerb, for example, the abrupt movements are gently compensated, which is particularly gentle on your back.
Logic
The CONTEC Logic saddles made of high density PU foam are reliable and comfortable companions for your daily commute to work or your multi-day bike packing tour. Inside there is a comfortable gel insert that moulds to the shape of your buttocks when you sit down and slides back into its original shape when you get off. The surface consists of a synthetic PVC cover that is vacuum-sealed, 100% waterproof and therefore easy to clean.
Majestic
The Majestic saddles are the sofas in our range. Their suspension technology absorbs almost every bump and protects your back. Inside, the high density PU foam also has a cushioning effect and offers you a high level of comfort. The black rails of the saddles have an integrated scale for easy adjustment.
Dynamic
The name says it all – the CONTEC Dynamic saddles are made for tours with challenging turns and height differences. With their features, such as their AirFoam filling and extra-light nylon fibre composite shell, they are the ideal saddles for mountain bikers and road cyclists. Thanks to the special welding of the shell and the synthetic PVC cover, the saddles are 100% waterproof, so you can get on your bike without any problems, even in wet conditions.
Static
For road cyclists, the choice of bike parts depends on a variety of factors. Aerodynamics, weight, comfort, material and so on... The CONTEC Static saddle scores extremely well with these features. They come either with a fully cut-out or half-lowered centre section, which reduces the pressure on the sensitive areas of your body. The filling of the Static saddles is made of AirFoam – a cushioning material that absorbs shocks. The saddle shells are made of particularly lightweight nylon fibres.
Magic
The initial equipment of many children's and youth bikes is not exactly the best. To make the journey to school or the family bike trip as comfortable as possible for our little cyclists, the bike and its parts should be tailored to the rider. Our CONTEC Magic children's saddle offers plenty of comfort, so that the little ones enjoy their riding.
CONTEC EROQ – hubs
Our new EROQ hubs are quick-release hubs. They are particularly robust and can therefore withstand the high torque and weight of an E-bike. Their aluminium hub body with a hollow axle and their steel freehub body with a high quality ball bearing form the perfect symbiosis for a smooth-running wheel.
Depending on the version, the EROQ rear hubs have freehub bodies for Shimano HG or SRAM XD. Its ratchet freehub system with 27 teeth and 3 pawls offers fast interaction between the freehub and hub body, so that your pedal stroke is quickly converted into propulsion.
Accessories: To match our EROQ hubs, we present the new EROQ.R QR and Thrubee thru axles! Apart from this, we are expanding our range of accessories with the CONTEC derailleur hanger UDH - suitable for all frames with UDH dropouts.
CONTEC Zen – rims
The CONTEC Zen rim forms the frame for a reliable wheel that makes everyday commuting by (e-)bike even more comfortable. With sizes from 20" to 28" and inner rim widths from 19 to 25 mm, we also fully cover the needs of folding, compact and cargo bikes. Thanks to the doublewall design, the aluminium Zen rim is suitable for a system weight of up to 150 kg. They can therefore also be fitted to e-bikes. Zen Disc rims are only suitable for wheels with disc brakes.
CONTEC Zen Disc Eroq & Exit Eroq – city-wheels
We have expanded our wheel range! From now on, even bumpy cobblestone streets in the old town, tram grooves and kerbs can no longer harm you.
With the combination of the new CONTEC EROQ front and rear hubs as well as our existing EXIT rims and the new ZEN DISC rims, we have created the ideal all-round wheels for your everyday (e-)bike rides. Say hello to Exit Eroq and Zen Disc Eroq! The sizes of the Zen Disc Eroq now start at 20 inches, which means that compact and cargo cyclists can also enjoy them.
CONTEC SuperComfort.Grip & Co. – bar tapes
During intensive training on a road bike or on a long bikepacking trip on a gravel bike, grip and comfort are particularly important. Our new bar tapes offer you both and also come in a wide range of colours so you can customise your bike to your taste. High quality materials such as cork, EVA foam and PU provide the necessary cushioning to reduce the pressure on your hands even on uneven roads. With different surface structures, you’ll be able to enjoy a pleasant feeling on the skin with a particularly high level of grip.
SuperComfort.Grip
The SuperComfort.Grip and SuperComfort.Grip MG bar tapes not only offer you maximum comfort, but also plenty of slip resistance. They have a silicone strip on the back, which replaces the classic adhesive strip. This means they can be removed without leaving any residue. The MG version is ideal for wide gravel handlebars and offers even more comfort with its longer and thicker design.
Reflex
When it comes to lighting, the options for racing and gravel bikes are limited - the CONTEC Reflex.Micro and Reflex.Grip bar tape has a reflective surface and therefore offers increased visibility without compromising on factors such as comfort and aerodynamics.
Comfort
Smooth, cushioning and stylish - these three words describe the CONTEC Comfort.Micro and Comfort.Tacky bar tapes pretty well. The surfaces are pleasant to the skin, but at the same time offers enough grip. The high quality materials inside the bar tapes are particularly elastic, so they can be wrapped easily and without creases.
Prestige
The bar tapes in the Prestige "Carbon", "Grip" and "Cork" series have the largest selection of colours in our range. Their different surfaces not only look stylish, but also offer a high level of grip that defies all weather conditions.
Of course, the right accessories are also a must:
CONTEC C.Drive – chain rings
Our new chain rings ensure that your chain moves smoothly. As chain rings wear out faster than some other bike parts, we have opted for particularly durable materials for our C.Drive chain rings. The range consists of a large number of options for the most common crank and drive types.
CONTEC Crank & Cranker – cranks
The crank is also one of the drive parts that should be checked and replaced from time to time. Especially when you consider the high mileage of an e-bike. This is precisely why we have significantly expanded our range of spare parts for drive components and added new cranks. You can expect high quality and robust materials, e-bike compatibility and a wide range that cover the most common drive types.
CONTEC Guide.O – chain guides
Your bike chain is the direct transmitter of your power to the bike - if it slips, that's the end of the transmission. A reliable chain guide is therefore essential! This is exactly where we come in with our new Guide.O chain guides. They are available in a wide range to cover as many drive types as possible. Of course, some Guide.O models are also suitable for e-bikes.
CONTEC Scroller – pulleys
Small pulleys, great performance: the new Scroller pulley sets optimise your shifting experience. Made from robust aluminium 7075 T6 and precision CNC-machined, they offer durability and reliability. The industrial bearing pulleys ensure precise chain guidance and minimise the risk of chain skipping.
CONTEC E-View King – rearview mirrors
The new E-View King rearview mirror impresses with a larger mirror and a wide, stable arm. With the swivel function, you can adjust them to suit you and your riding position. The large model in the new series, the CONTEC E-View Kind, is ideal for e-bikes with a display due to its offset shape. The maxi mirror also impresses with a dimming function which dims high beams of other road users behind you.
CONTEC Rivers Eco & Co. – bottles abd cages
Refreshment meets a fresh design: We have added two new models to our Rivers bottle series! The Rivers Eco Spikes and Rivers Eco Mile Grinder both now feature an updated TPE mouthpiece. Apart from that, our new models have the same important features as the well-known Rivers bottles. Now nothing stands in the way of reliable hydration!
Apart from this, there are also some new additions to the bottle cage range.
CONTEC Slap & XXL – pedals
Large surfaces, a strong core and plenty of slip resistance: our two new XXL pedals offer plenty of comfort and grip. And that for a maximum system weight of 180 kilograms, believe it or not! Clipless riders can also enjoy: We have also added two new clipless pedals to our range and now finally also cover the Look Keo and SPD-SL system!
CONTEC Mile Grinder – bikepacking bags
Our Mile Grinder bikepacking bags are ideal for your gravel or road bike. Thanks to their aerodynamic shape, they don't stand in your way on your fast-paced adventures, but they can stow everything you need for your journey. Now the series has a new addition!
CONTEC Lock Case & Co. – luggage and transport
We have expanded our luggage range to include a few products that will prove particularly useful for frequent travellers. Commuters can look forward to the lockable rack box and the new version of our CRICKER luggage rack. If you often travel with your bike in your caravan or motorhome, you should take the new CONTEC Safe R Rack warning sign with you.
CONTEC EasyAir TL – tubeless valves
Tubeless pro or beginner? It doesn't matter, because the new CONTEC EasyAir TL tubeless valve allows you to enter the tubeless world with ease. And when everything has been fitted? Then you should always have the following item with you: The Stinger TL Pro II is a compact complete set for repairing tubeless tyres. It's the ideal companion in the event of a puncture.
CONTEC TFP & TFM – tools
With our TFP tool line (tools for professionals) & TFM (tools for mechanics), we cater for ambitious occasional and professional mechanics. No matter what level of experience you consider yourself, here you will find specialised tools for almost every purpose. There are three more tools available.
CONTEC Bing GL – G-Link bells
The new CONTEC Bing GL bell makes a bright sound to warn other road users of your presence. The clapper can be rotated in 360° so that the bell can be mounted on both sides of your handlebars. The Bing GL is part of the CONTEC G-Link system, which allows accessories to be easily mounted on the CONTEC MERGE grips, bringing important accessories such as the bell or mirror closer to your hand. This not only ensures improved ergonomics, but also a tidy appearance.
Note: The following bicycle parts are not new parts, but existing product series that have been upgraded or facelifted.
CONTEC Rock’ n’ Roll – exhibition stands (facelift)
Our popular exhibition stand has been upgraded with a stylish facelift! The Rock' n' Roll remains stable for all wheel sizes and widths, but now comes with an elegant glossy finish. We have also improved the shape of the stand's feet. Small changes that in principle have no major impact on the function, but simply look good. Why? Because we can.
CONTEC Grad – cassettes (extension)
The performance of your cassette is crucial to ensure that your derailleur runs smoothly. Our Grad cassettes for bikes and e-bikes are made of high tensile steel, which is lighter and more durable than conventional aluminium models. We have now updated our Grad series: there are now even more variants as well as Micro Spline compatible cassettes.
There are also some new spare parts: The Grad.HT cassette is specially designed for e-bikes and is therefore ideal for high torques. The smallest sprockets are under particularly high stress. For this case, we have special replacement sets for the smallest sprockets.
CONTEC Exit Core & Xeta Core – MTB wheels (extension)
Following the successful launch of our MTB wheels last year, we have expanded the number of possible combinations between the wheel components by a further 14 variation. At the heart of the robust wheels are the Core and M.Core hubs with high quality, sealed industrial bearings. The doublewall rims Exit and Xeta offer an optimum ratio of low weight and the necessary stiffness for demanding routes.
CONTEC Nara – suspension seatposts (extension)
We took the opportunity of our new product launch to expand two of our suspension seatposts. The Nara Air DLX and the Nara Air are now also available for a maximum rider weight of 90 to 120 kilograms.
