The guys at KNOG have received S-E-V-E-N (count ‘em 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) Eurobike IF design awards. Six of those have been for the uber-cool silicone-wrap-designed lights (both LEDs and rechargeables). The seventh award was for the N.E.R.D., Knog’s first non-light major design award. This computer is about to rock your two-wheeled world.
The N.E.R.D. computer comes in six colors and in two models: 9 and 12 functions. Both wrap around the bar with a seconds-flat wrap job and around the fork, with a few more seconds flat wrap job. Do the math, several seconds plus several seconds equals minutes less than any other computer application. You’ll still spend some time programming but you’ve still gained about 30 minutes of life-time that you can spend doing other stuff ie. pedalling your bike of choice.

BEETLE LIGHTS
Two heads, is it said, are better than one. While not to dismiss the effectiveness and lovability of the best selling and ever popular one LED Frog; and while even most humans know that a Frog will never grow up to be a Beetle, there is nothing that says they can’t be from the same family. With that, Knog introduces its two-headed or two LED’ed Beetle strap-on.
The Beetle features the same bolt, tool and screw-free fixtures as their other silicone gemstones, a one piece silicone design that wraps around your bike’s bars or seat post.
The Beetle comes in both white (front) and red (rear) LED’s and comes in eight colors. Thus, it might even be that that your all-time favourite color is not offered as a Frog, but it is here, it has arrived, in the form of a Beetle!
