Busch + Müller, a renowned German manufacturer of bicycle lighting systems, has unveiled the TURNTEC T2, a compact, battery-powered indicator system designed to enhance cyclist safety and visibility. This innovative system allows riders to signal turns without removing their hands from the handlebars, a significant advancement in cycling safety.
Hands-Free Turn Signaling
The TURNTEC T2 enables cyclists to indicate turns by simply pressing the palm of their hand against the handlebar, keeping both hands securely on the grips. This intuitive activation method ensures that riders can signal intentions clearly, even in challenging traffic conditions or low visibility scenarios. The system’s design optimizes both the direction and quality of the light signal, making turn intentions unmistakably clear to other road users. (bumm.de)
Robust and Visible Design
Housed in durable aluminum casings, the two indicator units are mounted at the ends of the handlebars, a position commonly referred to as “bull’s eyes” in motorcycling. This strategic placement ensures high visibility from both the front and rear, enhancing safety during day and night rides. (bumm.de)
Easy Installation and Practical Features
The TURNTEC T2 is designed for straightforward installation, fitting handlebars with internal diameters ranging from 17.5 to 19.5 mm. The system is powered by a rechargeable battery integrated into the handlebar, which can be conveniently charged via a USB-C port on the left indicator unit. This setup eliminates the need for external wiring, maintaining a clean and uncluttered handlebar area. (bumm.de)

This approach not only extends the product’s lifespan but also promotes resource conservation, aligning with the company’s commitment to environmentally friendly practices. (bumm.de)
