All new 8bar TMPLHOF x 8bar team Edition 2018

At 8bar the design of our bikes & apparel has always been one of our highest values, especially with the flagship team designs. Coming from the very successful CMYK inspired team edition scheme that we raced from 2015 to 2017 we are proud to present the next full kit including bikes!

So, what’s new in 2018?

The dot design will be available for our MITTE, KRONPRINZ and the all new TMPLHOF bikes! There are also matching DT SWISS wheels, a Brooks England saddle and a new MET helmet complementing our Adidas cycling apparel and eyewear, Kappstein components and Schwalbe tires!

THE DESIGN

As 8bar developed over the years we found our own official team colours, reflected in the so called “dots design”. It is important for us to create memorable designs that not only deliver team identity but also just feel fast!

The new bike design is a progression of the old CMYK team edition bikes. If you are looking closely you can still see the block elements spread over the frameset, but still showing a lot of the actual frame undercoating. We kept this approach, but went into more love to detail. The overlaying of dots in different angles and colours results into new mixed colours with unique patterns. The pattern is not only isolated for each tube. It is a fully connected pattern spread over frameset, wheels and even the saddle! The outcome is a clean, sometimes even mesmerizing look on the frame.

THE 8bar TMPLHOF

The 8bar TMPLHOF is our new team bike that will be raced all over the world! This bike is all about lightness and performance. A real racing machine with no compromises and of course coming in the brand new look! Compared to the previous KRZBERG we moved away from the low-pro geometry towards a sloped frame giving you a lighter setup. You will feel it once you ride it, no matter if in a race or out on the streets!

The bike is equipped with DT SWISS TRACK TRC 1400 DICUT wheels, a Brooks Cambium C13 saddle both in our Team Edition look as well as Schwalbe Pro One tubeless tires and Kappstein Elite/Pro components!

It will be available in the new team edition paintjob, but also in the already well-known matt ghost black, polished raw, space blue and space red!
