dhb Aeron Lab Ultralight SS JerseyWhen riding under the hot summer sun and tackling high mountains turn to the dhb Aeron LAB Ultralight SS Jersey for all the features needed to conquer cols in comfort.Lightweight Fabricsdhb bring together three ultralight mesh fabrics to give the LAB Ultralight Jersey its impressive hot weather performance. These high-performance mesh fabrics wick away sweat incredibly quickly, keeping you fresh even as the road and temperatures rise.Race Ready FitDesigned and developed with top level road cyclists, Aeron LAB has a fit that is close and aerodynamic. It's uncompromising in this, with it's sole aim to help you ride further, faster and in greater comfort, with no excess fabric to catch the wind. It's noticeably closer fitting and more compressive than dhb's Aeron kit and really excels when the hammer is down. The low neck line and shortened front zipper is designed to maintain a perfect fit when adopting a low racing position, ideal when pushing the pace on the drops. A minimal elastic hem minimises bulk but still maintains a flush and secure fit when on the bike. Lastly, the long sleeves are both aerodynamic and supportive, leading to comfort and performance gains.Perfect PocketsLightweight jerseys often suffer when it comes to pockets, particularly when loaded up. We don't all have the luxury of a team car for all our kit so you really need pockets that work. dhb have carefully built the Ultralight pockets to sit flush when not in use but able to take a load when you need, without sagging.Inside the middle pocket sits the toko pocket. It’s a hidden fabric envelope, there to keep your valuables secure without needing to add the bulk and weight of a zip. It’s also got a radio port hole just in case you do need to talk to that team car after all.Aeron LAB. Engineered in the best laboratory we know: out on the road.Over two years in the making, the all new Aeron LAB collection combines rigorous real-world testing with the best components available, resulting in a collection tuned to the needs of demanding riders reaching for new levels of performance. Because when you’re pushing yourself, you need kit that exceeds your expectations.Aeron LAB Ultralight: Higher, Faster, FurtherUltralight is for those moments when you don’t want to carry more kit uphill than absolutely necessary. By combining lightweight fabrics, with minimalist yet robust construction methods, Aeron LAB Ultralight still has all the features you need for a big day out in the mountains, keeping you comfortable on punishing gradients and in testing temperatures.Features:Main Material: 94% Polyester, 6% ElastaneBack: 100% PolyesterRace ready, second skin fitCombination of three premium mesh fabricsHigh performance, lightweight stretch fabricsLaser cut sleevesFull length YKK Zipper4 rear pockets including hidden toko envelope pocket.Dropped neck line for increased comfortBuy dhb Cycle Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

For those looking for an alternative to traffic jams or public transport: this Stromer is also very suitable for that!High-End Speed Pedelec BikeThe Stromer ST2 is a high-end speed pedelec with surprisingly many possibilities. It is powerful and efficient, is fully integrated and has an internet connection. In addition, this speed pedelec is very maintenance-friendly due to the use of a Gates carbon drive belt.Comfortable, Agile and StylishThe first ST2 released back in 2014 revolutionized the Stromer line through its digital connectivity. The new ST2 goes a step further and brings several innovations to the Stromer family. The first thing you notice is the frame with a comfortable sitting position. The ST2 also clearly has more cable integration than the ST1. This Stromer is available in the colours Royal Blue and Dark Grey. The daytime running lights, which are located at the front of the steering head, have been given a new and fresh design. The CYRO Drive IG motor is good for no less than 750W and 40Nm, which means that this Stromer also shamelessly reaches the maximum speed of 45 km/h. The ST2 is standard equipped with a 618Wh battery, which can be upgraded to 814Wh or even 983Wh. The ST2 is supplied from the factory with an OMNI C display. This way you have more connectivity and theft prevention as standard.The most spectacular innovation of the ST2 is reflected in the drive. That is where Stromer has chosen the maintenance -friendly and durable Gates carbon drive belt! Together with the SA 5-speed hub gear and the renewed Stromer E-Gridlock tires, this ensures maximum power transfer. OMNI C Cycle AppWith the Stromer app you can read the trip data, the battery level, the battery temperature and the engine temperature. All you need is a 3G internet connection. With OMNI C you lock and unlock the bicycle digitally, this means it is completely keyless. You also have the option of choosing driving programs and even installing personalized driving programs on your Stromer. Because OMNI C works via the 3G network, you can read your Stromer remotely and provide it with new software.The Stromer portal offers a complete overview of your Stromer. For example, the interval notification of the next service for the support of the Stromer service team. The service team recognizes minor problems with your speed bike remotely and solves them for you right away.

Vitus Substance VRS-1 HT Gravel Bike (Apex)The Substance VRS-1 HT from Vitus combines the best of modern gravel road bikes and hardtail (HT) off-road mountain bikes. This versatile gravel bike features a strong and lightweight aluminium frame that is equipped with RockShox suspension forks, a SRAM Apex 11-Speed groupset, hydraulic disc brakes and a Brand-X Ascend dropper seatpost. Offering exceptional traction, stability and control for riding across all terrains, this bike is a superb bike for rapid off-road trail sessions and gravel racing.Agile, Efficient and Stylish Gravel Road BikeThe Vitus Substance loads your ride with freedom and choice. It expands your world, opening up new possibilities to ride and explore where otherwise you might not have looked. Unshackled from the same old routes, each ride reveals new ways ahead, like a fresh map - that bridleway to who-knows-where, the gravel track through the woods or the rougher shortcut that you know is quicker but that other bikes couldn't handle. RockShox Rudy Suspension and SRAM Apex 11-Speed GroupsetWhether embarking on a gravel race session or simply staying light for a mixed-terrain local loop, the Substance VRS-1 HT is capable of adapting to suit your ride, moreso than ever before. At its core, a double-butted aluminium frame and RockShox suspension fork are tuned for comfort on long days and across varied surfaces. Aided by big volume tyres that soften the bumps and add traction over rutted or loose tracks, the build also includes a dropper post for maximum freedom of movement on the steepest terrain. With compatibility for 1X or 2X drivetrains and either 700c or 650b wheels, you can really fine-tune the setup to best fit where you are riding. And if ultra-racing or multi-day expeditions are your thing, the frame has mounts for luggage, waterbottles and mudguards. For those remote rides where water, food and spares might be hard to come by, you can always load up with whatever you need to reach the next supply point.Strong, Lightweight and Versatile Gravel BikeThis isn't simply about the same cliches of getting off the beaten track or going in search of the road less travelled, because the Substance is more than a gravel road race bike. It broadens your horizons, delivering richer experiences and powerful lasting memories. It's a bike that enables you to do more. It's a bike that gives you options. The Substance empowers a new mindset, one that entices you to break away from routine and to ride where you want to ride, unrestricted.
