MORNINGSIDE, South Africa - April 30, 2007 - Slipstreamz, a South Africa-based manufacturer of innovative cycling earwear products, today announced the release of the Spoiler, a thin, plastic deflector that attaches to a cyclist's helmet strap that reduces ear-damaging air turbulence. The Spoiler follows the Slip as the second innovative cycling earwear product offered by Slipstreamz.
Slipstreamz debuted a prototype of the Spoiler at the 2006 Interbike International Expo in Las Vegas, Nev. Based on feedback received during the show, Slipstreamz has revised the Spoiler design to increase its effectiveness and ease of attachment. This included the introduction of integrated clips that help easily mount the Spoiler to the front straps of any helmet. Once attached, the Spoiler's design shapes the straps into unobtrusive wind deflectors that reduce harsh airflow over the ear.
"The Spoiler is a natural follow-up to the Slip," said Lonnie Tiegs, president and chief executive officer of Slipstreamz. "Many of our customers appreciated the air flow noise reducing properties of our original product, but wanted something even slimmer or weren't interested in listening to music while riding. The Spoiler gives cyclists the much-needed protection in a smaller, sleeker option."
Introduced in 2006, Slipstreamz's the Slip reduces wind noise and allows cyclists to safely listen to music while riding, as well as important ambient sounds (i.e. approaching cars, conversations with fellow cyclists, etc.). The introduction of the Spoiler brings the company back to its simple goal and solution of reducing ear-damaging wind noise while riding.
The Spoiler retails for $4.50 (US) / $5.50 (Canada) / 3.70 Euros / GBP2.50 (UK) / AUD6.30 (Australasia) plus shipping and handling and is available for purchase at www.slipstreamz.com.
For distributorship opportunities please e-mail Lonnie Tiegs at ltiegs@slipstreamz.com or call +27.83.225.7899.
Slipstreamz is also working with helmet OEM's with the goal of offering the Spoiler pre-installed, and announcement regarding this will be made shortly.
