Every decent city bike has a bell, but for athletic cyclists they are a big NO: they look stupid, add weight and ruin aerodynamics! Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? They have now found the solution to that in the Netherlands with HideMyBell.
This new and already improved – second generation Regular2 – integrated bell fits on any good road or gravel bike and ensures that no one has an excuse not to mount a bell on their bike anyway.
The HideMyBell Regular2 features a new fiberglass composite construction, with an upgraded steel spring and a bell hammer with brass end. You can make this bell ring with your hands in a relaxed position on your handlebars without looking – even with winter gloves. The solid 95db ring tone ensures that your fellow road users will hear you coming, making safety for you and other road users much higher. The holder is easy and quick to install thanks to the 2-piece clamp design borrowed from its lightweight sister model (Raceday SL) designed for Team Visma-Lease a Bike.
Functionality counts too: In addition to the subtly integrated bell, the Regular2 includes a hard mounting point for a GoPro or lamp adapter at the bottom. The total package makes it a go-to solution for anyone who wants a cleaner cockpit with accessories of any level, while maintaining a minimal look and aerodynamic profile.
