You don't always want or need to resort to covering the legs when temperatures head down, particularly in the transitional seasons of autumn and spring or when riding at high intensities. The Solid Blend Winter Cycling Bib Shorts offer the freedom of wearing shorts into cooler months of the year where the added warmth is a major plus. The SuperRoubaix fabric used here is not only great at holding on to warmth but it breathes remarkably well too - this gives greater comfort in a wide range of temperatures. Men's 4HF Seat Pad These winter shorts use Ale's renowned 4HF seat pad, designed for rides of up to 4 hours. Constructed with an elastic microfiber and anatomically shaped for the utmost freedom of movement it's ideally suited to medium to long-distance training rides and racing. The support is strategically positioned in the key saddle contact points, 90 kg/cm² density padding in the perineal and ischiatic area, making for an incredibly comfortable feel.
It's Time to Shine on the Bike It's the microspheres of glass that give the Iridescent Reflective Cycling Gilet it's remarkable visibility after dark. Once caught in headlamps or under street lights these beads 'light up' so the jacket has a glow that catches the attention of other road users. It's a unique finish that has a distinctive 'oil slick' look during the day and brilliantly illuminated performance to keep you safe and seen on dark roads. Dazzling Windproof Protection Too It's not just about visibility though, the windproof fabric also ensures cold winds can't penetrate, leaving you nicely insulated against cold winds out on the road. Of course, when you're cycling you'll generate some sweat but thanks to breathable mesh zones you'll find yourself comfortable and dry as sweat has an easy escape route to the outside. The performance fit is close to the body but still allows easy movement and space for you to layer up underneath your jacket. Thanks to Ale's IIridescent Reflective Cycling Gilet you've got stunning style and performance during the day and gleaming reflectivity at night, keeping you safe and seen as you knock out hard training sessions during the darker days of autumn and winter.
With a windproof and waterproof eVent Exagon membrane and insulating inner zipped 'vest' panel, the Women's PRS Bridge Cycling Jacket is adept at dealing with ever-changing winter weather conditions and for the coldest of days on the bike. The jacket has a unique construction. Providing protection against cold and wet conditions is the eVent Exagon membrane. This is paired with an inner insulating Thermo Fleece 'vest' chest panel and areas of highly breathable fabrics where needed most. This combination allows for versatile weather protection and easy control of heat regulation. Unzipping the outer zipper allows you to increase cooling air circulation through the jacket, ideal when you're working hard to crest a hill climb or facing into a headwind. However, with the outer zip open and its separate inner thermal layer zipped up, you'll still keep a chill off your chest while still boosting ventilation. eVent DV Stretch Technology This laminated water-repellent and windproof membrane give the Storm Combi Cycling Jacket its outstanding all-weather performance, blocking wind and keeping you dry during periods of light rain and sudden showers. Its high degree of breathability also prevents water vapour build-up on the inside when you're pedalling hard or conditions improve. The internal 'Wave' structure also draws sweat off the skin and effective air chambers regulate body temperature. Racing Fit The fit of the jacket is tailored to be close to the body and streamlined. This increases your cycling efficiency, saving precious energy for those last few kilometres of winter base rides.
From the speed and excitement of a gravel race to the challenges of a multi-day bikepacking trip to the thrills of mountain bike trails, the Off-Road Rondane Cycling Jersey keeps you cycling comfortably no matter what. Textiles have been chosen to make sure you enjoy excellent moisture control. A quick-wicking front prevents you from getting drenched in sweat. Meanwhile, the ultralight mesh back allows for ventilation and breathability. And if you wear a backpack, it lessens sweat build up too. Across the shoulders, you'll find abrasion-resistant inserts. This is again for backpack wearers, preventing rubbing from straps as you move and manoeuvre across rough terrain. A total of 5 pockets, a combination of open and zipped, make space for plenty of essentials you want to keep close to hand.

The Riot MTB+ combines Bont Cycling's professional-series technical features including an anatomical power transfer platform for greater efficiency, replaceable sole guards, unique carbon composite shaping, competition-grade materials and BOA dial Fit System to create the most technically-advanced entry-level MTB shoe available. Heat Mouldable Fit Bont Cycling's proprietary resin has been perfected over the last 40 years and is designed to become malleable at relatively low temperatures. The carbon chassis (base) of all Bont Cycling shoes can be heat moulded at home without the need for specialist equipment. Bont Cycling shoes feature a unique bathtub-style construction which allows for small changes to fit and shape, not size. Any 'stiff' area can be adjusted during the heat moulding process however, limitations do exist due to the characteristics of carbon fibre. Carbon fibre is not a highly flexible material nor is it designed to stretch when in its finished state and it's only through Bont Cycling's resin mix that allows it to be adjusted during the heat moulding process. For Heat Mould Instructions click here Last Design A last is a replica of a foot that the cycling shoe is built around. Traditional last makers do not make cycling shoe lasts, they only make shoe lasts designed for everyday walking shoes. Surprisingly, the majority of other brands still use a traditional dress shoe last when building their cycling shoes.. Bont Cycling, on the other hand, has been perfecting its performance footwear lasts since 1975 and the process is ongoing. This is why they believe Bont Cycling shoes continue to be the leader in providing the most functional and anatomically correct support to cyclists. Their motto in terms of cycling shoe fit is simple, "we make shoes for cycling, not walking." Medial Longitudinal Arch Support Overpronation is one of the main contributors to incorrect tracking of knees during a cyclist's pedalling phase - due to internal rotation of the tibia and femur. This can result in knee injuries. In addition, the rotation of the tibia/femur can cause the pelvis to tilt resulting in lower back strain. Structural medial longitudinal arch support is provided in the Riot+ to stop over pronation of feet. This is also supported by Bont Cycling’s lateral forefoot support.
