Shimano has set the benchmark for gravel riding, with this stunning model that's part of an exclusively tailored series which focuses on this riding disciple. It features an anti-slip lever that's perfect for braving the elements and maintaining reliable grip whatever the conditions. You'll also benefit from its off-road inspired lever and bracket ergonomics which deliver outstanding mixed terrain control, wherever the road leads you. Designed for immense stopping power and precision to tackle any challenge, this model also benefits from some of the finest Shimano technologies available. It features Servo Wave Action technology which delivers fast braking efficiency between your pads and rotor, so you can enjoy more rapid braking power and control. Taking your braking experience further, its reach adjust technology allows you to precisely tweak its feel to suit your hand size, riding style and individual rider preferences. This is a perfect solution for riders who want to explore further than ever before with this reliable and intuitive component. Technologies: Reach Adjust: Its brake lever is equipped with a reach adjust mechanism. The distance from handlebar grip to lever can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences. Ice Technologies: The fade, which can occur to disc brake rotor and pad when braking on a long downhill ride has a negative impact on the braking performance. Shimano has adopted Ice Technologies disc brake rotor and Ice Technologies pad to realise the cooling technology for consistent performance. The clad disc brake rotor blade, which has a 3 layer-sandwich structure of stainless steel, aluminium and stainless steel, provides better radiation performance achieving from 400˚C to 300˚C surface temperature. Also, the radiation fin has been adopted for the pad. Moreover, the clad disc brake rotor blade and the radiator fin provide long pad life, less noise, less fade and lightweight. One Way Bleeding: One Way Bleeding was developed for quick and easy prevention of air in our hydraulic system. We have streamlined the oil route throughout the system to prevent air bubbles from being captured in the system. One way oil routing plus a funnel tool with mineral oil provides an easy and clean bleeding system. Click here to view the Shimano Brake Reference Guide.

The Best Got Better The RSR S9 bib shorts set a new standard for bib short performance. But there's always room for improvement. The EQUIPE RSR Bib Shorts S9 TARGA have improvements to both stretch and support, with targetted compression where it's needed most, reduced pressure in sensitive areas and dialled in aerodynamics to maximise your fitness. Faster-drying fabrics also limit perspiration’s ability to add weight from soaking into the textile. A combination of woven Type.701kompressor textile and Ossidia inserts give the shorts a near frictionless fit. Not only that, the ultrathin yarns are extremely elastic, allowing for superb muscle compression and flexibility, ensuring pedalling has never felt easier. Carbon Xbib Construction The A-frame suspension design of the Carbon Xbib limits the vertical stretch to the back of the shorts. This provides a secure and stable position of the S9 seat pad at all times. The Dual-face Carbon material is now quicker drying, an improvement upon the previous single-sided design. Built for Speed As you'd expect, the RSR S9 TARGA shorts are engineered with Assos RacingFit. This second-skin fit maximises your speed while also optimising flexibility and comfort. The leg length is also extended when compared to the Equip RS and Mille GT lines. Smooth aerodynamics extends to the leg grippers. The Assos skinGrip cuffs give compressive support across the thighs, with silicone grippers to provide a secure non-slip fit. Minimal transitional ridges between skin and shorts keep airflow smooth. A-Lock Engineering The A-Lock system combines Assos' rollBar bib straps, modified ergoBox, and one-piece Butterfly panel to give you shorts that fit beautifully no matter what. Whether it's high-intensity bursts of speed or long endurance efforts, this engineered design maintains superb stability as you shift weight in and out of the saddle. Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design, snugly wraps the legs and back to create the ergoBox structure. This holds the S9 insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort throughout your pedal stroke and when you're shifting weight on the saddle. S9 Sundeck Insert Taking their already super-comfortable S9 insert, Assos have made improvements to make it lighter, cooler and minimise its footprint, all to enhance comfort still further. The first improvement is what Assos call the Sundeck Superlight. This is a luxuriously soft front panel that increases airflow while eliminating pressure in this most sensitive area. Then comes Assos' whirlKrater. Again this is all about airflow, with copious perforations added throughout the insert, creating a whirlwind of cooling airflow. What hasn't changed is the odour-resistant top sheet for all-day freshness. You also retain the benefits of 9mm shock-absorbing foam, taking the buzz out of rougher roads. 3D Waffle inserts keep bulk low and allow more air circulation. And Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation. Lastly, there's the goldenGate. The unique stitching pattern allows the insert to 'float' allowing the pad to move with you for optimal comfort.
Assos EQUIPE RS Targa Cycling Rain JacketThe ultralight Assos EQUIPE RS Targa Cycling Rain Jacket is now on its third iteration, with improvements to performance and durability, making it a wet-weather essential when training and racing. The outstanding wet-weather performance and lack of bulk of the EQUIPE RS Targa Cycling Rain Jacket is made possible by its combination of 3-layer Schloss Tex material and a durable breathable membrane. Schloss Tex is Assos' lightest waterproof textile, and it's also rustle-free and with slight stretch to give you a jacket with a performance fit. You'll also find full-taped seams prevent the slow ingress of water during prolonged bouts of rain. Thanks to the high degree of breathability, riding into a tough headwind or powering up steep climbs won't leave you soaking in sweat either. Compared to previous versions, this Targa jacket does away with the rear pocket slots. This removes an area of water ingress while also removing excess bulk too. With the two-way full-length front zipper you can unzip from the bottom, both as a means to access rear jersey pockets while also allowing easier control of ventilation and temperature regulation. A stitchless rear reflective strip also removes an area of water ingress while keeping you visible when daylight fades. A tall collar keeps the elements off at the neck and an extended rear lower panel fends off tyre spray at the back. The body-hugging Assos raceFit also ensures you're not wasting precious energy in battling a loose and flappy jacket. Easy to pack in a jersey pocket, the EQUIPE RS Targa Cycling Rain Jacket is now better than ever. Ideal for race day or training sessions, it slips over your cycling kit to fend off wind and rain while not weighing you down when not needed.
