- BIKERUMOR.COMWho Were the Original Ruffwear Dogs? Founder Patrick Kruse Remembers the Iconic CompanionsIn the early days of Ruffwear, a handful of adventurous dogs were the heart and soul behind the brands creation. From ocean to mountain and every terrain in between, these iconic pups inspired founder Patrick Kruse to build products that would match their adventurous spirit.On the cusp of the companys 30th anniversary, Kruse reflected on the original Ruffwear dogs that shaped the company, sharing stories and also the real-world challenges that inspired iconic products like the Quencher bowl, Float Coat, and so much more.From Mokis trailblazing influence to Otis and Ursulas invaluable contributions, Kruse gives us a glimpse into how these four-legged pioneers helped Ruffwear grow into the trusted brand it is today.Learn More About RuffwearKruse and Otis test an early prototype of Ruffwears now-iconic Float Coat; (photo Ruffwear)Patrick Kruses Adventurous Roots and Early InspirationKruse grew up in an adventurous household where dogs were always part of the journey. At the age of eight, I was backpacking with my family and our dogs, Kruse recalled, noting how his early experiences shaped his understanding of gear and the challenges of adventuring with pets.By the age of 12, Kruses ingenuity was already apparent. During a family trip to the Eastern Sierras and Trinity Alps, he faced a problem: he couldnt carry both his gear and his dogs supplies. His solution? He sewed his first dog pack, letting the dog help carry the load, sparking the first glimpse of his future in outdoor gear design.After leaving high school, Kruse sought adventure on the open seas, joining sailboats in the Caribbean and Central America. It was here that he sharpened his resourcefulness, mastering woodworking and sail repair skills that would later prove essential in his product design approach.The pivotal moment came during a mountain bike ride with friends and his dog, Moki. When a friend struggled to water her dog using a flimsy bottle, Kruse realized there had to be a better way. This hands-on problem-solving experience inspired the creation of Ruffwears first product: the collapsible Quencher bowl, designed specifically for active dogs and their outdoor adventures.Through these formative experiences, Kruses love for the outdoors and practical problem-solving ultimately led to the founding of Ruffwear, a brand committed to crafting innovative gear for dogs who share lifes adventures with their humans.Reflecting on those early days, Kruse emphasized that Ruffwear has always been about solving real-world challenges for adventurers and their canine companions, and that legacy lives on today.Otis the dog keeping Kruses seat warm in between paddle sessions; (photo/Ruffwear)Who Were the Original Dogs of Ruffwear?With such an adventurous upbringing and constantly accompanied by his loyal companions its no wonder that Kruse had the epiphany to start Ruffwear. Below, we dive deep into the companys history and what inspired the brands first flagship products.GJ: Can you tell us about the very first dogs that inspired the creation of Ruffwear? Who were they, what were their breeds, and what were their personalities like?PK: The very first dog that inspired Ruffwear was Moki, a Rhodesian ridgeback mix. Moki joined us on a mountain bike ride in Los Padres National Forest, and at the time there was no specific gear for dogs recreating in the backcountry.So Mokis human, Liz, brought along a plastic bag that she attempted to fill with drinking water from her limited 21-ounce bike bottle. The plastic bag solution failed miserably, wasting precious water, and Moki was unwilling to drink from it, prompting Liz to challenge me with a solution.This was the spark that inspired Ruffwear and a whole new category of gear for dogs on the go. Over the years, Moki was always eager to go on adventures, joining us on mountain biking and backpacking trips in the Sierras. Like many Rhodesian ridgebacks, Moki was well suited for distance activities and always eager to be with his humans.Now legendary, Ursula the Rottweiler eventually became the iconic face of Ruffwear; (photo/Ruffwear)Additionally, I lived with two dogs Otis, my Australian cattle dog, and Ursula (the Ruffwear mascot), a Rottweiler that my partner rescued in downtown L.A. Our shared outings seemed to enlighten us to new opportunities to solve the challenges of including our four-legged companions on our adventures.Otiss personality was driven, focused, and always ready for the next adventure. His enthusiasm for mountain biking and whitewater kayaking was nonstop, and he was an amazing companion on so many adventures an always-willing sidekick ready with three paws out the door.Ursula, having lived the first few years of her life as an inner-city dog, embraced our adventures with curiosity and a sense of wonder. It was an amazing experience to see Ursula swim for the first time or run through a lush, green meadow or experience a clear, cold mountain river. Seeing these experiences through our dogs perspectives enriched our human experiences in unspeakable ways.What specific needs or challenges did you observe in these original dogs that led to the development of Ruffwear products?First and foremost, our collapsible food and water bowl, the Quencher, was born from that first experience with Moki out on a mountain bike ride. Having a compact and convenient way to offer our companions food and water on the go was really the first opportunity for Ruffwear to solve.Ruffwear was fueled by our needs and experiences as well as customers and retailers requests to address solutions for dogs getting out on adventures. After our collapsible water bowl, designing dog boots that would stay on and protect dogs paws during distance adventures over varied terrain were fast to follow.After boots came our dog packs, updating dog packs with features that we humans expected in our personal packs, more comfortable to carry, easier to put on and take off for rest stops and water crossings, improved load distribution, incorporated hydration systems addressing the ill-fitting and poor performance dog packs of the day.If I step back for a minute and share, dogs dont really need anything when theyre choosing their own activities. But, when we humans include our four-legged friends in our adventures, and we take our dogs to different environments than what they may be conditioned to, they need the best gear to help make their exploration even better.Dont get me wrong, dogs might be willing and ready to go, but were asking our dogs to join us on these adventures virtually naked; while were packing our 600-fill sleeping bags, ultralight tents, high-tech stoves, and lightweight cooking gear while wearing technical insulated garments and performance footwear.All I was doing was giving my dogs similar advantages that I, too, benefited from with my gear.Shop Quencher Packable Dog BowlThe Quencher Bowl continues to be indispensable for keeping your dog hydrated; (photo/Ruffwear)Were there any particular adventures or experiences with these dogs that played a pivotal role in shaping Ruffwears early designs?One pivotal experience for me was a 17-mile kayak run on the remote stretch on the Forks of the Kern River. My dog Otis had joined me outfitted in a commercially available and highly regarded dog life jacket at the time. About halfway through the run, I attempted to ferry Otis across the river above a drop, only to discover that he easily slipped out of his life jacket.Shop Float CoatKruse and his adventure dog, Otis, enjoying a whitewater run in the early 90s; (photo/Ruffwear)Another product would be our Webmaster harness. Originally conceived as the chassis for our backcountry dog packs, many of us were simply using the harness separately from the packs for the features and functionality that it offered. Seeing this as an opportunity, we created a standalone Webmaster harness that could be purchased independently of the packs.Customers didnt have to buy a complete pack if they just wanted the harness. The Webmaster harness is the first harness that managed all the straps and created centralized attachment points and a handle, allowing for lift and assist over obstacles while providing a Houdini-proof harness to ensure it stays on the dog. This was a huge leap forward from other harness offerings at the time.Shop Dog HarnessesA young Patrick Kruse iterates on his then-new dog harness design; (photo/Ruffwear)How did the original dogs contribute to the testing and refinement of Ruffwears first products? Do you have any memorable stories from that process?Otis was Ruffwears original product tester. He would put all of our products through their paces and provided great insights into durability, performance, functionality, and fit. I recall during the boot testing how I was not convinced that dog boots really were necessary for dogs, but I was willing to try to solve the issues with dog boots staying on.Otis and I would ride a 17-mile mountain bike loop after work, and he would follow along without any paw protection. When the opportunity came to test some boots, I put our prototype dog boots on Otis and headed out the door for our typical 17-mile mountain bike loop riding on mixed surfaces found in the high desert of Bend, Ore., a formidable testing ground for outdoor gear.Afterward, I would inspect the boots and check Otis for any hotspots. What was impressive is that when Otis would go on the rides without boots, he would typically stay off his paws and rest for several hours after the ride. When we started testing the boots, Otis always had lots of energy and excitement after testing the boots.While I was skeptical whether dogs really needed them, it was pretty compelling that Otis was energized and ready to go after running in the boots compared to when he went without. The boots were providing a level of protection for Otis paws, and he no longer required any recovery time to get back at it.Shop Dog BootsRuffwear Dog Boots can be a game changer for your distance-going pup; (photo/Ruffwear)What unique characteristics or traits did these dogs possess that made them ideal ambassadors for Ruffwear in its early days?Thats an interesting question. Ive never met a dog that wasnt an ideal ambassador. Given the right opportunities and a little bit of time to adjust to their surroundings and conditions, dogs seem eager and joyful to join humans on our adventures.If I had to answer what the unique characteristics or traits are that make dogs ideal ambassadors, I would simply say companionship and a sense of exploration. Dogs are naturals at companionship and exploration. They love to spend time with humans and other dogs, and they are always curious about the sights, smells, and sounds around them.In many ways, I believe dogs are more natural explorers than humans are. They are more in tune with their environment, better aware of others both human and other beings emotions as well as their capabilities. I believe humans could benefit more if we simply followed our noses and took more cues from our dogs.Ruffwear continues to be defined by dogs sharing adventures with their humans; (photo/Ruffwear)As Ruffwear has grown, how have the legacy and spirit of those original dogs been carried forward in the companys culture and product innovation?We often talk about and reference our founding dogs that paved the way and were foundational in our learnings. Ursula is the model for Ruffwears logo. Her name is referenced daily, and her story is one that we share often. A junkyard downtown L.A. inner city dog that shared her newfound enthusiasm and excitement about getting out and exploring new environments with her human companions.The smile on her face and her bright, expressive eyes, as well as her sense of joy, were experienced by all those who knew her. Ursulas spirit lives on in our whimsical logo and the stories we share. She continues to leave a lasting impression.Otis, being the sweet, persistent, driving, and focused cattle dog that he was, inspired a sense of continual forward momentum. He was rarely satisfied with his accomplishments and always ready for the next adventure.You can see Otiss inspiration in Ruffwears culture of exploration and companionship. His continued drive for whats next can be experienced in Ruffwears product innovation that beckons others to join in on the fun.This post was sponsored by Ruffwear.

- WWW.BIKERADAR.COMNew Bosch Performance Line CX ebike motor gets 'sixth dimension' sensors, but sticks with 600w power and 85Nm torqueBosch's all-new full-power Performance Line CX ebike motor has received a host of updates for 2025, just under 10 years after the model's initial release.However, the new motor's torque, power and assistance levels remain unchanged, sitting at 85Nm, 600w and 340 per cent respectively.The changes drop 100g from its headline weight figure and are claimed to reduce rattle when freewheeling over rough terrain.Its pedal, cadence and torque sensors have been updated to provide richer data to the onboard computer. New accelerometers measure movement in six dimensions while also analysing tilt, incline, and vibration data.Software updates add new features like hill start assist and walk assistance, and two new batteries 600Wh and 800Wh are added to the PowerTube lineup.A new bar-mounted Purion 400 display is also introduced with a more streamlined look.A hushed approachThe new Performance Line CX has the same 85Nm and 600w torque and power figures as the outgoing model. - BoschWhile the updates to Bosch's longstanding Performance Line CX motor seem incremental at best a hundred grams here, some extra sensors there, and a few more watt-hours all included there's a little more at play.Shimano's DU EP-800 and subsequent EP-801 motors were criticised for their 'death rattle' the knocking noise made on rough terrain when freewheeling.While early editions of Bosch's CX were rattle-free, we've found more recent CX motors suffered as badly as Shimano's from the distracting sound.It's great to see a redesign of the motor's gearbox addresses this issue head-on.The new design is not only claimed to offer a "balance between power delivery, efficiency and noise," but it also "decouples" your bike's drivetrain from the motor.This decoupler should mean, pedal kickback, chain growth, and micro-inputs caused by the bike's suspension compression, or the rider rotating the cranks, shouldn't cause the motor's freewheel to constantly engage and disengage, reducing on-trail rattle.Shaving gramsThe new motor has a magnesium casing and is claimed to be 100g lighter than the old CX. - BoschWhen the Performance Line CX Race motor launched, we were impressed with the 250g weight saving and increased power.While the newest standard CX motor doesn't tap into the extra assistance levels of the sportiest version, it drops 100g versus the outgoing model now tipping the scales at 2,800g.Bosch's latest motor is now lighter than the Brose unit's 2,900g weight (used on Specialized bikes and SRAM's Powertrain), but it's still heavier than the svelte Shimano EP801's 2,600g figure.Bosch says the newest CX has a magnesium casing that's been painted to protect it from stone chips and corrosion.More than enough powerUnlike most new products, the Performance Line CX motor doesn't try to outdo its predecessor in terms of torque, power or assistance.Sticking with 80Nm, 600w, and 340 per cent assistance, Bosch clearly feels its motor had more than enough oomph.A lot of people would tend to agree with this sentiment, too. The Performance Line CX has frequently been crowned king of the hill in terms of assistance feel and sheer torquey wallop.Moreover, the motor's mapping has proven to be the special ingredient materialising those on-paper figures into real-life feel Bosch's motors respond impeccably to rider input, mirroring how much effort its rider exerts with just as much assistance, no matter the cadence.The sixth dimensionNew sensors inside the motor are claimed to increase the amount of data available to the onboard computers. - BoschHopefully, the improved sensors of the latest version will enhance the motor's feel.A range of high-quality, data-rich sensors have been fitted. These detect pedal input information at more than 1,000 times a second according to Bosch with cadence and torque data.Internally, acceleration and rotational speeds are also measured now in six dimensions. These detect inclination, tilt, and vibrations, so the motor can discern when it's ascending, and how steep the incline is, along with whether you're riding on a smooth road or a rough trail.A remapped motor control unit translates this data into perfectly tuned assistance levels.Boosting watt-hoursThe newest PowerTube 800 battery has 800Wh of energy. - BoschA new 800Wh battery ups range and ride time over the brand's previous biggest 750Wh unit. The new battery boasts an energy density of 205Wh per kilogram up on the 174Wh per kilogram of the 750Wh model.A lowered-powered 600Wh has also been released down 25Wh on the current 625Wh unit.Crucially, the new batteries have the same external dimensions, so bikes can be upgraded or replaced with either model. The PowerMore 250Wh external battery is compatible with the newest Performance Line CX motor.Discrete displaysThe Purion 400 display offers a balance between smaller styling and providing enough information to the rider. - BoschAlso new is the Purion 400 display.Much like Shimano's ebike screen, Bosch's newest model sits on the right hand side of the handle bar next to the stem.Its 1.6in size has enough space for "essential riding and fitness data," offering a much smaller and more discrete alternative to the Kiox and Nyon displays currently on offer, but way more information than the System Controller or LED Remote most eMTBs are shipping with these days.Stopping on a dimeThe ABS system requires a few extra bits of tech to work, including this controller and compatible brakes. - BoschIntroduced at the same time as the new CX motor is eBike ABS Pro.Bosch's ABS has been in its lineup for a few years now, but was primarily designed with urban and cargo bikes in mind.The new ABS Pro setup takes things up a level.Designed explicitly for off-road riding, the ABS Trail Pro is for the general mountain biker and ABS Race is for enduro racers and riders.According to the brand, this new system aims to balance control with braking power, all without the front wheel locking up.Hill start assist, similar to your carFinally, Bosch has programmed in a hill start assist mode to its new motor.Operating similarly to the hill hold function found in most modern motor vehicles, hill start assist should help stop the bike from rolling backwards down an incline as you set off.According to Bosch it does this by using its internal sensors to discern how steep the slope is, and provide the perfect amount of support to get you going on your merry way.Walk assistance now adapts the speed of the bike's walk feature to how fast you're walking, rather than the other way around.0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 220 مشاهدة
