Today in Gear: 5 Cool Products You Wish You Could Buy

Yamaha unveiled a new self-balancing electric motorcycle — but guess what it doesn’t have: Handlebars. To be fair, Yamaha technically unveiled the ‘Motoroid’ electric motorcycle concept about six years ago. Now,the refined Yamaha Motoroid 2 is taking the design one step further. To ensure stability, the bike’s rear swingarm provides both suspension and the ability to pivot to allow the bike to lean independently on the front. Meanwhile, the front fork delivers handlebar-free steering, though it’s not exactly clear how the front fork rotates. Either way, the bike seems set on paving the way for weirder, wilder motorcycles to come.

Today we’re taking a look at Girard-Perregaux’s Neo Constant Escapement, an ergonomic keyboard and Freitag’s new reflector bags. This is Today in Gear.

Prepare to Be Stunned, All Over Again

Girard-Perregaux’s Neo Constant Escapement has been a long time coming. In 2008, the brand released its first prototype using a silicium blade, and in 2013 the next (official release) version won the GPHG’s Aiguille d’Or. Now, the new Neo Constant Escapement (93510-21-1930-5CX) takes this technology to the next level with a skeletonized in-house caliber, COSC-certified chronometer and a new ‘fifth wheel’ connected to the gear train.

Freitag just added three new models to its reflected bag collection. The F670 Warren crossbody bag, F680 Anderson roll-up tote and the F690 Coston backpack are all made with recycled truck reflectors, and build on the brand’s commitment to the circular economy. As usual, they’re more sustainable, more stylish and so, so much cooler than their competition.

The Danner x Ball and Buck Light

Ball and Buck

Danner and Ball and Buck Light have come back together to reissue the (once sold-out) boots they first produced 10 years ago. Equipped with Ball and Buck’s signature camo duck cloth, plus Danner’s special oiled and waxed leather uppers, the boots are built to develop the perfect patina over time. Fans can shop the boots today for $449, but you’ll want to act fast, as they’re sure to sell right out again.

Check Out Logitech’s New Ergonomic Keyboard

Logitech

The new Wave Keys ($60) keyboard is a wireless ergonomic keyboard. Thanks to a cleverly cushioned palm rest, the keyboard can deliver natural, ‘feel-good’ typing all day. It was also designed with a dual-printed layout, so it’s compatible with both Windows and Mac computers, and comes with tilt legs for added customization. Made with a mix of post-consumer recycled materials, fans can also pair the keyboard with one of the brand’s ergonomic mice to build the perfect set.
