Fitting new gears or completely overhauling your gear cabling couldn't be easier as the Shimano Optislick gear cables have everything you need in one pack. Optislick is electrically coated to the stainless steel inner wire leaves a smooth surface for low friction and reduced sliding resistance. The outer casing in the Shimano Optislick gear cable set is lubricated internally along its length with low-friction silicone grease to reduce cable friction. The SP41 outer cable uses a special directional wound construction process that makes for an axially stiff cable that transmits shifting movements accurately and quickly. It's also lined with a polymer sheath to assist with the smooth operation of the gear inner cable.
The updated ergonomic design of the Shimano Ultegra ST-R8070 Di2 11 Speed STI Road Levers clearly separates the shift buttons so you can shift easily and efficiently, even in the depths of winter when you're wearing thick gloves. Designed for Hydraulic Brakes The ST-R8070 dual control lever is designed specifically for use with hydraulic brakes for excellent rider feel and control in all conditions. Multi-Shift Each switch on the Shimano Ultegra ST-R8070 can be used to multi-shift. Additionally, the top hood buttons can be programmed and customised through the Shimano E-Tube app or PC software to control third-party devices. Technologies: Di2: The power and precision of Di2 is unmatched. It enables beautifully smooth shifting both front and rear. The lack of maintenance and adjustment is impressive: once you’ve customised your Di2 to shift to your preferences, it will continue to do so endlessly. E-Tube: Change all Di2 functions and operations through the shifter buttons behind the brake levers, the top hood buttons or satellite buttons for TT/Triathlon, sprinting and climbing. You can easily customise shift speed, multi-shift options and Synchro Shift. You can also customise the top hood buttons to control third party-devices, for example to scroll through bike computer menus. The functionality on third-party computers also allows you to display Di2 system information, such as battery level and the gear you’re in.
Stiff. Light. Fast. For those of you seeking a competitive edge, the RC9 SPD-SL S-Phyre Road Shoes (RC903) deliver race-proven and race-winning performance. While you may not have the raw power of Mathieu van der Poel, the S-Phyre feature a super-stiff carbon sole, delivering uncompromised power transfer to propel you forward with unrivalled efficiency. Thanks to a redesign of the fit and improved fabrics, they’re now lighter than ever and more comfortable too. Shimano Dynalast Technology The RC9s continue with Shimano's Dynalast design ethos. A 360-degree surround upper hugs the foot, offering a stable pedalling platform for efficient power transfer throughout your pedal stroke. It also sees an optimized toe-spring section that ensures efficient and powerful pedalling with a reduction in foot fatigue over long distances. The toe box shape has also benefited from further refinement and the improved design now offers comfort to a wider range of foot shapes. To the heel, an anti-twist heel cup and glass-fibre reinforced heel stabiliser work seamlessly together to resist flex and instability during your higher power output efforts. Dual BOA® Li2 dials Two BOA® Li2 dials provide the ultimate in customisable fit. Micro-adjustment for both tightening and loosening ensure you get the fit just as you want it every time you ride. And as feet swell in the heat or you want to tighten up for a sprint, you can make quick adjustments even when pressing on the pedals. The Li2 dials also benefit from an improved construction to aid durability while also being lower profile to enhance aerodynamics. Cleat Guidance These Cycling Shoes are compatible with road bike pedal systems that use cleats with 3-bolt standards, such as: Look Delta and Keo, Shimano SPD-SL, Speedplay Light Action, Zero, X-Series (via 3-hole adapter plate), Campagnolo Pro-Fit, Mavic Zxellium, Time Iclic/Xpresso and Time Impact.
Be it in training or racing, power transfer, foot stability and comfort are key to get the most from your efforts. Attack a hill for the KOM or forge ahead of the peloton in a race and the RC7 Road Shoes (RC702) won't let you down. And with these wide fit versions, extra volume in the shoe ensures optimal comfort and all the performance benefits for those of you with a wider foot. S-PHYRE Upper Providing a stable and secure pedalling platform is the foot-wrapping S-PHYRE technology, taken from their pro-level shoes and applied to the RC7s. The upper surrounds the foot snugly but at the same time reduces overlap, removing hot spots and stabilizing the foot throughout each pedal revolution. The synthetic material used for the upper is also impressively supple, giving a glove-like fit that's comfortable for rides both long and short. It's lightweight and breathable too, optimising comfort on those hot and hilly days on the bike. The Power of Carbon When it comes to driving you forward with thrilling efficiency, it's hard to beat the full carbon outsole of the RC7s. Rated 10 out of 12 on the Shimano stiffness scale, your watts are transferred to the pedals with minimal power loss. And when you're hunting down the breakaway or forging a break yourself, this stiff sole unit gets you up to speed and holding the pace with ruthless efficiency. Shimano has also improved the sole unit from previous iterations, with an upgrade to the midsole construction. Stack height is also reduced, improving both foot support, power transfer and efficiency. Meanwhile, ventilation and water drainage have also seen a significant boost, keeping you sweat-free on warm days and more comfortable on damp days. Dual BOA® L6 dials In order to get optimal comfort, the RC7 makes use of dual L6 dials. Micro adjustment of the fit across the upper and lower of the foot is made quick and easy via a turn of each dial. Whether tightening up for a stiff hill climb effort or loosening to boost comfort on a hot day, you can get the fit just right to suit your needs. And at the end of a ride, simply pull the dials up for a quick release of the laces. Cleat Guidance These Road Shoes are compatible with road bike pedal systems that use cleats with 3-bolt standards, such as: Look Delta and Keo, Shimano SPD-SL, Speedplay Light Action, Zero, X-Series (via 3-hole adapter plate), Campagnolo Pro-Fit, Mavic Zxellium, Time Iclic/Xpresso and Time Impact.

The application of The Spine Concept™ to handlebar shape is the result of fi’zi:k’s research with riders of 3 UCI World Tour Teams that were riding fi’zi:k saddles. A correlation was found between the saddle shape each rider was using and the handlebar shape they were riding. Just as your choice of fi’zi:k Spine Concept™ saddle shape is guided by your degree of spinal flexibility and subsequent pelvic rotation, fi’zi:k offers this same concept to find your most comfortable handlebar shape. The Snake Handlebar If you are very spinally flexible (far less than 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Snake. You are better able to reach further and get down lower to use the full radius of more rounded, classic-style, deeper-drop handlebars. You will prefer the Snake Handlebar because it has a longer reach (85mm) and deeper, classic-style drop (140mm). The Chameleon Handlebar If you have an intermediate degree of spinal flexibility (approximately 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a chameleon. You are better able to reach further, but perhaps you can’t get down quite as low on the handlebar drops as a Snake would be able to. You will prefer the Chameleon Handlebar because it has a longer reach (85mm) but a shallower, more ergonomic-style drop (135mm). The Bull Handlebar If you have a relatively low degree of spinal flexibility (more than 90 degrees between your straight legs and back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Bull. You will not be able to reach as far or bend as low as a Snake or a Chameleon would be able to. You will prefer the Bull Handlebar because it has a shorter reach (80mm) and a shallower, more ergonomic-style handlebar drop (130mm).
Strap in and set off! The Tempo R5 Powerstrap Road Shoes secure your foot to offer stability and comfort throughout your ride. Utilising a Velcro strap, the Powerstrap design pulls together the two sides of the upper to give a superbly snug and comfortable fit. Ensuring the need for no laces and hugging your foot throughout, there is no need to adjust the setting of the shoe while the ribbon wraps around your foot for unrivalled comfort. Working in tandem with Fizik’s Volume Control, the instep and midfoot adjust to your liking separately for compression and customisation. Another advantage of the sleek fit and design is the ease with which you can slip on waterproof overshoes when the storm clouds burst - these don't have to be a summer-only shoe. When it comes to performance, putting your trust in the R5 nylon composite outsole may just be the best decision you ever make. It delivers the perfect balance between comfort and pedalling efficiency and makes the most of powerful riders to directly transfer explosive speed to your pedals. It is ever so supple for long distances and the overall lightweight design of the shoe ensures speed isn’t compromised.

Redefining Fizik’s identity, the Tempo R5 Overcurve Road Cycling Shoes are perfect for your summer cycling regardless of whether you ride competitively or simply love the thrills. They are quick fitting to get you in the saddle faster and their form-fitting construction works around the foot to offer endless comfort no matter how long your session lasts. When it comes to on-bike performance there are few that can argue with the R5’s reputation. An instant road classic, they sport the famous Overcurve construction that uses a staggered collar to wrap around the ankle. This traces the natural misalignment of the two bony protrusions in the lateral and medial malleoli. Offering riders an asymmetrical shape, the shoe curves over the foot to wrap it like a present and guides all the way from the outside to the inner for one of the cosiest fits yet. Should you wish to adjust your fitting, the closure is assisted by the micro-adjustable BOA IP1 dial that twists to your liking in order to provide customisable comfort. Working in tandem with a Velcro strap to fine-tune your fit, riding in endless comfort and stability ensures you feel as good as the shoes look. The Microtex upper is brilliantly supple and easy to clean plus offers excellent breathability for those scorching days of summer. When the rains come then the sleek style also makes it easy to slip on a waterproof overshoe to keep feet dry. Add in the R5 nylon composite outsole that is capable of delivering explosive power transfers, and in the Tempo Overcurve R5 you have one road shoe capable of opening up a world of endless possibilities.
