Where has the time gone? It feels as though we were only just basking in the summer sun and now we’re already rocketing towards Christmas. Needless to say, it’s a busy time on the products front, with plenty of exciting new things coming out. So let’s take a look at what’s on offer at the moment.

CANYON isn’t one to rest on its laurels, which is why it’s kitted out its Spectral CF 8 mountain bike with new Keep It Stable (K.I.S.) technology to take its handling up to a new level.

It uses custom springs and clever polymer fibre bands that actively centre the handlebars while you’re riding. What’s the benefit? Well, it means you’ll be able to turn more smoothly, making your rides faster and more controlled.

£4,949

LG Stretchable Display £tbc

IT FEELS a little like something out of science fiction, but LG Display – the manufacturing arm of tech giant LG – has just created the world’s first 12-inch stretchable display that can be extended, folded or twisted without any damage whatsoever.

It’s made with the same sort of material as contact lenses and fitted with micro LEDs, with that stretchiness meaning it could be used in all sorts of places such as cars, planes or even furniture.

Audio-Technica ATH-TWX9 headphones

£279

THE wireless headphone segment is a fast-moving one to say the least, with cutting-edge technology being released with each new model. The snappily titled ATH-TWX9 from Audio-Technica are some of the latest earpods to come out, and they get up to six hours of battery life plus a further 18.5 hours of power stored in the handy case.

Cleverly, there’s also a ‘deep-UV’ LED sterilisation system that takes away bacteria and viruses from the surface of the headphones whenever they’re placed in the case.

Oakley Hydra £tbc

IT MAY well be darker for longer now, but there’s still plenty of low-level sunlight to warrant popping on a set of sunnies. Oakley’s new Hydra glasses take their inspiration from ’90s surf culture, using old-school design with very modern lens technology.

So, while they might have the look and feel of a ’90s set of shades, they’ve got Oakley’s very clever Prizm Lens Technology that helps to boost colours and contrasts.
