After being sold out for an extended hiatus, the beloved Nitto-made Sim Works Fun 3 Bar is back with a major update…

Sim Works‘ popular Taco and Bubbly pedals now come in a Bronze anodizing, this includes the full-size Bubbly and the Tiny Bubbly for those who prefer smaller platform sizes. These pedals are made in Japan by MKS and roll on cartridge bearings, not bushings, so they spin forever and ever. Roll on over to Sim Works to check out the Bronze finish!

Sim Works‘ Doppo Ronin is a new entry in the all-road category from the Japanese parts brand. They’re tig welded and made in Japan, so let’s check it out!

Next up in our year-end recaps, Nicholas shares a short list of his favorite products for life on and off the bike, as well as a few recommendations for reading and listening…

Sim Works teamed up with its friend Molly Sugar to design a “Desert Animals Collection”, including a long-sleeve t-shirt, bottle, and bandana. Inspired by the rich abundance of wildlife and dynamic landscapes of the American Southwest, this collection is a reflection of home for Tucson AZ based, Molly Sugar. Roll on over to Sim Works to read about this collaboration and shop the Desert Animals Collection.

Sim Works compiled a few of its favorite pieces from the Japanese brand’s new Coffee Collection and bundled them in this extra handsome compact new shoulder/handlebar bag from the SimLoader collection. They’re calling it the “Good Vibes Coffee Kit” ($180).

You get your choice of bag color, insulated tumbler color, and filter color. Short of a way to boil some water, and grind some delicious Elevator x SimWorks ‘Good Vibes’ blend coffee, you’ll have everything you need for a memorable pour-over experience on the go.

Sim Works’ trusty, Nitto-made dirt drop, the To Smile bar, is back in stock, and this round, it’s been updated with a 31.8 ⌀ clamp.

We got our first look at the made in Portland, Oregon Sim Works SimLoaders bags during our Chris King Open House Reportage this year and today, the Japanese brand announced the full lineup, coinciding with a completely redesigned Doppo touring bike, now dubbed the Locust and with either 27.5×2.8″ or 29×2.4″ tire clearance!

We first showcased the Doppo when John did a bike tour around Mt. Fuji with the Circles crew back in 2016, so it’s exciting to see the newest permutation of this line. Read on for a complete look at the SimLoaders Bags and the new Doppo Locust below!
