Digital protection is built into eBikes with the Bosch smart system     In a City Where Bikes Disappear Every Day, Some eBikes Have Been Fighting BackDigital protection is built into eBikes with the Bosch smart systemThe area around San Francisco leads the nation in eBike riding on the Bosch smart system.Bosch smart system riders already have free tools that make a stolen eBike worthless and easier to recover.Foothill Ranch, Calif. (November 5, 2026)No American region records more eBike riding on a Bosch smart system than the San Francisco area. Riders in and around the San Francisco area account for 6.2 percent of all recorded U.S. riding activity, the highest share in the country, ahead of the areas around Seattle, Los Angeles and Portland. 1 It is also a city where bike theft is a real problem, especially at the end of the season, when thefts peak. The San Francisco Police Department recommends that riders register their bikes with a third-party registry, and maintains an ongoing database of reported incidents. The issue is most relevant to eBike owners, with findings by Bike Index, the largest bicycle registry in the United States, documenting a rise in eBike thefts specifically. In an effort to protect its customers from such incidents, Bosch eBike Systems has implemented industry-leading theft prevention and recovery features in the eBike Flow App.  Riders connected to the eBike Flow App can mark their eBike or battery as stolen. Doing so marks every component in the smart system as stolen, including the drive unit, battery and display. Each component carries a unique registration tied to the owner's user profile, so the mark travels across Bosch's entire digital ecosystem. Anyone who tries to connect a stolen bike through the app, whether a used-bike buyer, a dealer or a public authority, sees a warning listing the serial numbers of the marked components. The stolen eBike is blocked from eBike Flow app connection, and dealers see the same warning in the DiagnosticTool during service. Only the registered owner can remove the mark. The practical effect is that the resale value of a stolen eBike drops toward zero.Since 2018, Bosch has continued to build robust digital theft protections into its smart system. eBike Lock turns a rider's smartphone or display into a digital key and disables motor support when the bike is locked; recognition happens automatically over Bluetooth, so the rider’s phone can stay in a pocket. Battery Lock ties the battery to the bike and the user profile, which is also disabled in unison with eBike Lock. Riders who want active protection can add eBike Alarm through an eBike Flow+ subscription, which triggers sound and light warnings when a parked eBike is moved, and the ConnectModule, permanently installed hardware that keeps the eBike online for GPS tracking, motion detection and recovery."A stolen bike is not just a property crime to the person it happens to. It is the end of a commute, a school run, a way of getting groceries home," said Dave Howard, VP/GM Americas, Bosch eBike Systems. "We cannot stop someone from cutting a lock. What we can do is make a stolen bike more difficult to transport and sell, and make it easier to get back. Every rider on our smart system can mark a stolen bike in the app for free, from the day they buy it. That alone makes it much harder to sell and gives it a better chance of coming home."For San Francisco area riders, the registration step the SFPD recommends is largely already done. Every Bosch smart system component is registered before the bike leaves the shop, and the eBike Flow app stores bike data and photos in one place, so an owner who needs to file a police report can hand over serial numbers, current location, and images immediately rather than hunting for a receipt. Step-by-step instructions are available in the Bosch eBike help center.Bosch eBike Systems works with more than 100 of the world's leading bicycle brands, supplying networked drive systems including motors, batteries, displays, and the eBike Flow app. The company's approach draws on Bosch's 139-year history in mobility, and on a conviction that the value of an eBike is measured in the trips it makes possible, and the memories along the way, rather than in any single specification.For more information about Bosch eBike Systems and its range of offerings, please visit https://www.bosch-ebike.com/us/why-ride-bosch. 1 Source: anonymized, aggregated usage data from Bosch smart system riders in the United States who have opted in to data sharing through the eBike Flow app, covering all recorded activity in 2025.Press photos and infocharts are available on the Bosch Media Service at www.us.bosch-press.com.Contact: Jocelyn Vande VeldeJocelyn.vandevelde@us.bosch.comContact person/s for press inquiries:Alexa McRobertsbosch@verdepr.comBosch eBike Systems is shaping the future of eBike mobility with innovative products and digital services ranging from highly efficient drive systems and the first series-ready ABS for eBikes to connected biking solutions.

British performance pioneers pair six decades of ocean racing pedigree with Special Forces-tested design, debuting Dyneema® reinforcement on a Musto range for the first time LONDON – Oct. 26, 2026 – ThruDark, the British performance apparel brand founded by former UK Special Forces operators, and Musto, the world’s leading performance sailing brand, today announced Nautikos, a collaborative offshore collection built to endure the most extreme conditions at sea. Pairing Musto’s GORE-TEX® PRO™ shell technology with ThruDark’s uncompromising design detailing, Nautikos is the most technically advanced offshore range in Musto’s history.The sea is familiar territory for ThruDark’s co-founders. As Royal Marines Commandos turned Special Boat Service operators, they spent decades operating beneath dark skies and even darker waters before channeling that experience into high-performance clothing built for mountains, desert, jungle and ice. Musto’s story is rooted in Olympic sailing: founder Keith Musto, a silver medalist at the 1964 Tokyo Games, helped redefine the sport in the 1960s, and for nearly 60 years the British brand has set the standard on the high seas.Water softens, dissolves and erodes, but for both brands it has the opposite effect. The sea is the most merciless proving ground there is: master your craft here, and you can do it anywhere.New Territory, Same StandardWhile offshore racing is a new product category for ThruDark, the brand brought its eye for detail and emphasis on uncompromising design to complement Musto’s existing pedigree. The result is what Musto calls its most durable range ever.Building on Musto’s use of GORE-TEX® PRO™, ThruDark added Dyneema® – the world’s strongest fiber, 15 times stronger than steel at equivalent weight – to create high-endurance waterproof jackets and bib pants. It marks the first time Dyneema® has been used on a Musto range, reinforcing the seat, elbows, knees and hem to protect the highest-wear zones of foul-weather gear. A removable, modular pocket system allows storage to move effortlessly between layers, while D3O® knee pads deliver class-leading impact protection and photoluminescent reflectors provide high visibility in low light and storms.“We are meticulous in our choice of partners, and Musto has long stood out to us for its proud British heritage and leading technical performance,” said Louis Tinsley, ThruDark co-founder. “For Musto, that means decades of experience on the water; for us, that means decades of experience in and under it. We’ve taken the best of what Musto does and made it as durable as possible using stronger-than-steel Dyneema® reinforcements and design techniques honed by our diverse, real-world experiences.”“This collaboration made complete sense from the moment we started talking,” said Nick Houchin, marketing director at Musto. “ThruDark brings a Special Forces background that demands exactly the same things we do – kit that works without compromise in the most extreme conditions. Function and style shouldn’t be a trade-off, and with Nautikos, they’re not.”Professional offshore sailor Will Harris was part of the test team for the collection. “For me, the Dyneema reinforcement is the standout,” Harris said. “When you’re offshore, you’re constantly on your hands and knees, bashing into things. Having that next level of protection at the elbows, shoulders and seat is exactly what we need. And the modular pocket system means you can clip everything on and know it’s with you before you leave the cockpit. It’s Musto in stealth mode.”The Nautikos CollectionOuterwear: The Nautikos GTX Jacket (£1,500 / $TBC) and Nautikos GTX Trousers (£1,200 / $TBC) form the hard-weather shell of the system, constructed with GORE-TEX® PRO™ for sustained severe-weather offshore use. The Nautikos Trident GTX Jacket (£450 / $TBC) and matching Trident GTX Trousers (£450 / $TBC) extend the system into modular layering, built for variable conditions between passages.Mid-Layer: The Nautikos Stormfleece (£225 / $TBC) provides core thermal retention and serves as the system’s insulating bridge between shell and base.Base Layer: The Nautikos T-Shirt (£70 / $TBC) is built on S.Café® fabric technology, a process that infuses fibers with used coffee grounds to deliver UPF 50+ sun protection without chemical treatment. It is quick-drying, durable and expedition-ready for extended time on the water.Headwear: The Nautikos Cap (£70 / $TBC) takes Musto’s proven waterproof MPX construction and elevates it with ThruDark’s custom reflective camo artwork across the peak and rear panel. Fleece-lined at the collar with the same triangle fleece used in the Nautikos GTX Jacket, it is engineered for visibility in low light without conceding a single detail to aesthetics over function.Nautikos is available now at Musto.com and ThruDark.com. High-resolution images are available here.###About ThruDarkThruDark is a high performance clothing brand founded by former UK Special Forces operators Anthony “Staz” Stazicker CGC and Louis Tinsley. The British brand launched in 2018 with a bespoke summit suit that broke world mountaineering records before launching a limited range of cold weather expedition gear. Since that time, ThruDark’s outerwear offering has expanded to include the latest in activewear innovation, hot weather clothing, combat sports attire and premium apparel alongside its continued development in the world of winter wear. All of ThruDark’s technical products are tested personally in real world conditions by its founders, using their combined 28 years of military experience.

Six decades on, the London-based brand remains the benchmark for technical sailing apparel, worn by the British Sailing Team, the Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team, Clipper Round the World Race crews and the best ocean racing sailors in the world. In 1994, Musto became the first sailing brand in the world to partner with GORE-TEX®, a standard the brand has built on ever since. Musto’s product range spans ocean offshore racing, inshore and dinghy sailing, performance lifestyle and countrywear engineered to perform in life’s extremes.

Recognition highlights the role of DRYOUT's Active Moisture-Removal Technology™ in protecting and rescuing everyday electronics SOUTH JORDAN, Utah (October 15, 2026) — DRYOUT®, the advanced materials company behind patented Active Moisture-Removal Technology™, today announced that Urban Armor Gear’s (UAG) Phone Recovery Pouch, featuring DRYOUT technology, has been named to TIME's Best Inventions of 2026.The recognition highlights an innovative collaboration between UAG, a leader in rugged mobile device protection, and DRYOUT, whose reusable technology helps protect electronics and other valuable gear from moisture-related damage.Introduced as part of the UAG // DRYOUT collection earlier this year, the Phone Recovery Pouch incorporates DRYOUT's proprietary material to actively draw moisture away from electronics exposed to water, humidity, and condensation. Unlike conventional protective solutions designed primarily to keep water out, DRYOUT goes to work after moisture gets in, pulling it away from devices and trapping it within a super-absorbent core. The material can then be reset using sunlight, direct heat, or forced airflow for repeated use.“At UAG, we're always looking for innovative technologies that help us push the boundaries of protection,” said Casey Bevington, Chief Brand Officer at UAG. “Our collaboration with DRYOUT enabled us to go beyond protecting devices from physical damage and address what happens when moisture gets inside. We're thrilled to see the Phone Recovery Pouch recognized by TIME and proud of what our teams have created together.”The TIME recognition comes as DRYOUT continues to expand its partnerships with established brands seeking new ways to integrate Active Moisture-Removal Technology into their products. DRYOUT innovation is applicable to an ever-expanding range of industries including electronics, photo/video, tactical, storage, outdoor and hunting, first responders, and medical. “This is an exciting milestone for DRYOUT and our partnership with UAG,” said Romney Williams, CEO of DRYOUT. “Leading brands are teaming up with DRYOUT because our Active Moisture-Removal Technology provides additional protection technology in the products their customers depend on. This recognition underscores what's possible when innovative materials and great product design come together.”There are 300 Best Inventions chosen this year, selected solely by TIME’s editors across the globe based on the following criteria: originality, efficacy, tenacity, or the potential to categorically alter the status quo for the better.Explore TIME's Best Inventions of 2026 at ti.me/best-inventions.Learn more about the UAG // DRYOUT collection at urbanarmorgear.com/dryout.About DRYOUT®DRYOUT® pioneered Active Moisture-Removal Technology™, a new category of product protection.
