The Pro-tier performance of the EQUIPE RS Jersey S9 TARGA is achieved via a number of factors, including continuing with the aerodynamic detailing of its predecessor, careful fabric choice, bonded seam technology and Assos' aggressive RacingFit. Assos RacingFit Made for the WorldTour, you can expect the Assos RacingFit to give you a second-skin fit that seeks to offer maximum performance from your hard-won fitness. With a cut designed to excel in aero riding positions, it will feel strange when you first pull the jersey on. But settle into the drops or bar extensions and it all makes sense. Compression in all the right places also delivers outstanding comfort and support. Fast but Comfortable Fabrics The fast functional fabric mix begins with the use of Assos miniCheck Tex fabric to the front. This 3D knit fabric is extremely elastic to give you the close aero fit needed to go fast, streamlining you to optimise your power output. But not just that, it's highly breathable too, ensuring you don't get overwhelmed with sweat when your race and training efforts intensify. Elsewhere, the rear of the jersey sees Assos' featherweight Stabilizer textile deployed. This holds the jersey smoothly in place thanks to its limited vertical stretch, keeping airflow smooth and uninterrupted while also supporting the rear pockets. Lastly, taking into account a low and aggressive riding position, the raw-cut bonded Push-Pull textile sleeves eliminate any disruptive tape or seams from the leading edge, giving a true lie flat, low drag transition from jersey to skin. Practical Features With the focus on performance, the Assos team haven't overlooked those small practical details that you need when training and racing. To the back, the Triple Ramp Pockets are easily accessible and pre-structured for optimal capacity and stability when loaded. A flap also offers extra security, preventing items from spilling out. An ultralight bonded cam-lock zipper to the front gives you full control of ventilation to the body and a lightweight taped waist keeps bulk low, the fit smooth. And with fabrics offering a range of ultraviolet protection, from UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 25 to 50, this is a jersey ideal for summer racing.

Whether you're shredding your favourite mountain bike (MTB) trails with your riding buddies or exploring new routes on your own, this hydraulic disc brake is engineered for powerful and consistent braking operation. It features a high-quality aluminium stamped lever blade, which gives it an excellent balance of strength and durability as you conquer your way around the mountain. SRAM has also equipped this version with steel-backed organic brake pads for dependable braking and control as you weave from trail to trail. Coming complete with a range of performance-enhancing technologies, this is a perfect upgrade for adjustable and precise braking on your MTB adventures. Hydraulic Disc Brake with Reach Adjust Developed for ease of use, this model features an adjustable lever reach, so you can fine-tune the gap between the lever blade and your handlebar. This makes it can be set-up to fit any hand size or riding style, while giving you complete control over your ride as well as increased comfort when braking. Another highlight is its DirectLink lever design, which produces a solid, positive feel when you squeeze the lever to engage the brake. As a result, it delivers precise control as you charge across demanding trail conditions. Level T capitalises on the same trail-taming brake technology that conquered the 2015 World Mountain Bike Championships, to deliver a powerful and consistent XC and trail-optimised brake set that keeps your capital in the bank. This budget-minded, MatchMaker compatible brake set provides all the power of its siblings, keeping you in complete control. - Same proven lever technologies as Guide-piston, seals, reservoir and bladder. - Compact lever body with DirectLink. - Same power as Level Ultimate, Level TLM and Level TL. Technologies: DirectLink: SRAM’s DirectLink lever design produces a solid, positive feel the second you squeeze the lever to engage the brake. It offers a no-nonsense solution to give you precise control. Reach Adjust: Brake lever fit and feel is a personal thing. Riders have individual positioning preferences, as well as unique hand sizes and finger lengths. Reach Adjust makes it easy to adjust your lever for maximum one-finger control for everyone. Timing Port Closure: A hydraulic brake’s timing port is the connection between the reservoir and the lever cylinder bore. When the lever is squeezed, a cup seal passes this area and closes the port, which pressurizes the system. SRAM’s timing port closure system features durable seals and an ultra-smooth cylinder bore finish producing dependable braking power and consistency. Expandable Bladder: SRAM’s new brake lever design includes a reshaped bladder that helps regulate and reduce air bubbles. The bladder is specifically shaped to evacuate air from the lever and push the fluid exactly where it’s needed. The result is improved back-pressure relief, which produces dependable braking power and consistency. Manufacturer's Part Number: 00.5019.913.720 & 893.090 Black 800mm 1450mm

iXS Trigger AM MIPS Helmet plus Pit Viper (Bundle)The iXS Trigger AM MIPS Helmet plus Pit Viper (Bundle) brings together both high-performance mountain bike headwear and top-tier eye protection and finishes them with a truly wild animal print. With an eye-catching carnivore animal print across both the Trigger MIPS helmet and the frames of the Pit Viper sunglasses, this is a combination that is definitely for those of you who like to stand out on the trails. And it'll probably scare off errant antelopes too. Bonus. iXS Trigger AM MIPS helmet (Carnivore Print)An award-winning design, the Trigger AM MIPS Cycle Helmet features patented in-mould technology. A tough outer shell is directly fused to the shock-absorbing internal EPS material, giving you a rugged helmet that can easily take on the demands of regular use while offering superb protection in the event of head impact.The in-mould technology also allows iXS to maximise ventilation without compromising the integrity and safety of the helmet. Carefully designed external vents lead to internal channels, giving superior airflow and boosting cool comfort throughout your ride. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head.Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head.Precision Fit. Every ride. A well-fitting helmet is a safer helmet, and as such, the Trigger has the precision interlocking "ErgoFit Ultra" system. This gives you super-easy adjustment of the inner, both vertically and circumference-wise, giving a custom fit for any head.
