Fizik R3B Road Cycling Shoes Review 2021
The new X-ALP Elevate really represents what modern mountain biking is all about. Mountain bikes have progressed and really transformed mountain biking and we needed a shoe that really kept up with the technology in the pace of innovation. The Elevate, like all of X-ALP shoes does two great things: It maintains pedal stiffness where […]
Read moreParlee Altum Disc Review
The rider’s ride. Parlee made a name for itself building bespoke carbon fibre frames in the US when few other brands had even heard of the black stuff. Those bikes still exist today as the cream of Parlee’s crop, but in recent years it has branched into stock models, subcontracted to the Far East, to […]

Litelok Gold – Gold! – always believe in your soul. You’ve got the power to know, you’re (almost) indestructible. Always believe in, because you are Sold Secure Gold.

Read moreVulpine Extrafine Merino Padded Boxers Review
Have you ever had a moment when you wanted to ride your bike, but you didn’t want to wear Lycra bibs, and plain old pants under jeans was just not going to cut it? Us neither, but when that time comes – and it will – you’ll wish you had a pair of merino boxer […]
Read moreSilca Seat Roll Premio Review
It might look a like a cyber-goth’s answer to a home blood pressure monitor, but the Silca Seat Roll is a delight of a saddle bag (well, saddle-mounted tool roll) that secures itself beneath your seat using none other than a Boa dial and the joy of great design. Waxed canvas with reflective stitching, it’ll […]

Read moreOakley Crossrange Prizm Glasses Review
If ‘hyperspectral’ sounds cool, it is. The process involves dividing light up into many more bands than the red-greenblue of the human eye, and Oakley has used it to create a lens that filters out ambient light ‘noise’ for greater clarity of vision. The texture of tarmac, for example, appears more pronounced through a Prizm […]
Read moreEdco Flüela Wheels Review
The sharp V-shaped cross section of Swiss wheel brand Edco’s new Flüela wheelset appears in direct contradiction to the current thinking that to be aero yet controllable, rims must have blunt profiles. It’s no mistake – Edco says this doesn’t have to be the case and claims to have proven it in a white paper […]

‘We found most women’s kit didn’t fit very well, wasn’t in the bright and bold colours we loved, wasn’t designed to flatter us, and we were often short-changed on the fabric quality, ’ says Rhian Ravenscroft, co-founder of Threo.
