Shock absorbers are available in three different densities based on rider weight.
Uneven surfaces, rough asphalt, cobblestones… The stresses coming from the road are transmitted directly to the handlebar in the form of unpleasant vibrations, which in short time can turn into annoying tingling to the hands, compromising comfort and grip on the handlebar, with inevitable negative repercussions also on performance and safety.To be able to absorb and reduce them to the minimum, you need a handlebar with “muscles”: a simple but brilliant idea introduced by the Shock-Absorber Kit by Selle Italia.Shock-Absorber Kit consists of two elements: Bar Pads and SG-Tape.SG-Tape is a special tape with grip that allows you to ensure even greater comfort and better grip on the handlebar, bringing advantages in both performance and safety on the saddle.The Bar Pads are made up of three layers of different materials: the first, in gel, helps to simulate the behavior of a muscle, compressing at the support and recovering in a few seconds the original shape, as soon as the pressure of the hand is removed. Besides the gel layer, the addition of PU Foam and a third Lycra layer help to increase the softness of the Bar Pads.The Shock-Absorber Kit by Selle Italia, thanks to the combination of the bar pads with the special tape with grip, ensures a high level of comfort at all times, while also offering a better grip on the handlebar, all to the benefit of performance and safety.Thanks to the particular assembly of these two components, the Shock-Absorber Kit, in addition to being one of the lightest on the market, also performs a combined action that produces a very effective absorption of vibrations from the ground, the ultimate solution to the discomfort caused to hands and wrists by driving in difficult conditions, so far difficult to solve.

Contrary to what you may think, there are no muscles in the breast – only the skin and the delicate Cooper’s ligaments support the breast tissue. Once the ligaments have been stretched beyond their limit, as a result of breast movement during exercise, no amount of toning exercises can restore them! Wearing a great sports bra can change your workout. A Shock Absorber sports bra will provide you with the superior bounce control and comfort you need to be able to focus on your performance and enjoy your workout without distractions! With groundbreaking research informing design and development and inspired by athletes over the years, every woman can now get tailor-made sports bra support up to a HH cup. Tips for the perfect fit Getting the right bra is important for a top workout. If in doubt we recommend that you get professionally fitted as a staggering 80% of women are wearing the wrong-sized bra. To ensure your sports bra gives you the best support possible while training, keep in mind the following: The Underband: The band around the chest should be level front and back. It needs to be comfortable but firm. A good gauge to ensure the underband fits well is if you can fit the width of two fingers between the underband and skin. Any more space means the band is too big and could cause friction. The Cup Size: This should contain the whole of the breast. There should be no bulging over the top or on the side and should just have minimal cleavage on show. Shoulder Straps: The straps should be adjusted to fit securely on the shoulders with only a one-inch give. Adjust the straps where possible to ensure a secure but comfortable fit they shouldn’t be too tight. Do The Bounce Test: Jump up and down, is the bra supportive? Need more help?
