Frostbike is the annual tradeshow held by North America’s largest bicycle parts and accessories distributor, Quality Bicycle Products. Held every winter at QBP’s headquarters in Bloomington, Minnesota, the event showcases the latest bicycles and accessories that the distributor has to offer independent bicycle dealers. It’s a chance for shop owners and employees to pick the brains of manufacturers, to brush up on their tech knowledge, and to get the scoop on new products.

Here’s a look at some of the new products that will be hitting bike shop shelves this spring and summer.

The Saris Bones is arguably the best trunk-mounted bike rack on the market. First introduced in 1996, it has remained virtually unchanged until now. The next iteration of the Bones is the Superbones.

This rack builds on the success of its predecessor with a clever strap system that uses mechanisms housed in the rack’s legs to manage the straps that mount it to the vehicle. It functions much like a tape measure, releasing and retracting the webbing as needed.

The feet larger feet should better distribute the load — it will have a maximum weight limit of 35lb / 15.8kg per bike. The Superbones incorporates integrated locks that hold the straps to the car. The webbing has stainless steel strands woven into it for a small measure of theft deterrence.

The Superbones is still in development and pricing is yet to be determined.

For many years the company opted not to produce tools that could easily be found at your local hardware store.

According to Pedro’s Matthew Bracken, the company has listened to feedback from professional team mechanics who have wanted yellow-handled tools such as box cutters and needle-nose pliers to round out their tool kits.
