The all new quick release style Timber Model Yew! bell is finally out and offers huge improvements over the previous style quick release bell.
Like the bolt-on Model Yew! it features:
- A spring loaded piston in the on/off lever for smoother shifting.
- Built stronger, and all parts are now completely modular, including the cable. and clapper ringer system.
Plus:
- Tool free mounting and removal. Moves easily between bikes.
- Includes three shims to fits 35mm bars (as well as 22.2mm and 31.8mm)
- New beefier, grippier bands mount firmly. Won't spin or rotate on your bars while shifting between modes.
- Bands are made of UV resistant EPDM so they won't crack or degrade.
If you want to be able to quickly remove or install your bell, or move it from bike to bike, we recommend the quick release over the bolt-on model.
Improve the Vibe of Your Ride
If you're anything like us, you just love to ride. You love the speed, the dirt, the rocks and the roots, and the fresh air in your face. But if other trail users aren't having fun, you're not having fun either.
That's why all riders need an effective way to pass and audibly communicate their presence to other riders, hikers, equestrians and wildlife. When none existed, we set out to find one.
Things That Don't Work
- You can mount a cowbell or bear bell to your bike that produces a constant ringing sound. But you can't turn it off, so it's ding, ding, ding all day.
- You can ride without a bikebell, and pass by shouting the usual“passing on your left”. And that always works perfectly, right?
- You can ride with a traditional bike bell, and ding it just as you approach. Unfortunately, to most people this sounds too much like “Beep beep, get out of my way”.
Ring Mode / Stealth Mode
Timber’s patented on/off ring system provide instant sound control at the flick of a finger; on everything from gnarly DH descents to multi-use pathways around town.
The motion of the bike activates the sound. Because the sound is passive, you communicate to other trail users in a friendlier way. Giving them time to find a safe place to move off the trail.
You'll be shocked at the reaction you get from other trail users. Smiles, waves, "thanks for riding with a bell", "have a nice day".
So ride hard, ride often, have fun out there!
