Castelli Free Aero RC Bib ShortsFirst launched 15 years ago, and worn to countless victories, the Free shorts are legendary for their comfort. The Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Shorts build on this heritage, making them the best racing shorts Castelli have ever made. You don't have to be a pro rider to enjoy the benefits the Free Aero RC Bib Shorts offer. Whether riding for an hour or riding all day, the smooth, compressive support, premium seat pad and outstanding flexibility all offer unrivalled comfort. Less is MoreCastelli have deconstructed their previous Free shorts and started from scratch to deliver a more minimalist, but highly comfortable race short. Compared to previous iterations, there are fewer panels, now just 5 compared to 10. In combination with Castelli's high-stretch and compressive Forza 2 fabric, this gives a wonderful sense of freedom throughout your pedal stroke. Moving to the ends of the legs, this sees yet more minimalism. Instead of the usual elastic or silicone grippers, you'll find just smooth, raw cut edges. No more irritation when you're getting sweaty. After 28 prototypes and extensive material testing, Castelli have found the sweet spot, with shorts that remain in place but don't irritate or compress too much. Bib Straps When it comes to the upper body, again Castelli have sought to minimise the construction, removing bulk, boosting comfort and improving airflow.Open-weave bib straps let air in while also letting moisture evaporate away quickly. To the back, a reinforcing yoke ensures your straps remain flat and in place, while the mesh back is kept narrow, again to improve airflow to the body and prevent overheating. At the lower back, the bib forms a convenient storage pocket too. Progetto X² Air Seat PadThe top-end Progetto X2 Air Seatpad is now better than ever. Castelli has improved the shape of the back and improved the method of stitching it in place. The result is it now sits flatter and offers greater comfort. The X2 retains its awesome ventilating perforations, keeping you cooler and drier on endurance rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. A 3 layer component construction also features two densities of foam plus gel pads to provide progressive damping. A super-soft and stretchy next-to-skin layer, with an antibacterial finish, completes this premium pad.

The PS 1.1 is an all-new seat for 2016. Similar in design to the PS 1.0, it features the same sloped front arms, but slightly thicker 30-series padding, and budget-friendly chromoly rails.Similar to the other Performance Short saddles, the PS 1.1 features an upward slope at the rear - giving superb hip support when your body is rotated forward in the aero position, or an aggressive road riding position. This tends to be preferred by athletes that don't move around on the seat excessively while riding. It is also a top choice for triathletes and time trialists who ride in the aerobars, or for flat courses in which the athlete likes to ‘settle in’ to one position and go.Like all ISM saddles, the PS 1.1 is nose-less and designed to remove pressure from soft tissue, ensuring maximum blood flow, no genital numbness, and a healthier, more enjoyable ride.Key Features:Sloped rear section gives maximum hip supportMore padding than the PS 1.0Rear transition hookCommonly Used For:• Triathlon bikes• Time Trial bikesTech Specs:• Category: Performance Short• Length: 245mm• Width: 135mm• Padding: 30-series Foam and Gel• Rails: Chromoly

Motivated to Ride Whatever the Weather Riding in the freezing cold, wet conditions of winter is difficult and takes both motivation and the right kit. And when it comes to your feet you can fuss around with your normal off-road shoe and overshoes kit combo or, instead, enjoy the sleek weather protection of the Extreme XC GTX winter boots. Thanks to the Gore-Tex® Duratherm Kelvin membrane, featuring insulating hollow-core fibres, these are shoes that provide you with warmth, rated down to -15 degrees Celcius, total wind protection and reliable waterproof performance. Comfort is superb as the weather turns cold, wet and nasty. At the ankle, the flexible Easyfit Climaflex collar allows easy pedalling but with its Gore-Tex Rattler® membrane also prevents water from getting in. Inside the shoes, the Arctic 4layer insole adds another layer of insulation from the cold - the four-layer aluminium and fleece construction works with the Gore-Tex membrane to deliver outstanding warmth even when you're cycling in temperatures below freezing. Efficient Winter Pedalling It's not just about weather protection though. Pedalling performance isn't overlooked either. Just like the summer version of this shoe, the Extreme XC GTX winter shoes get the stiff and efficient Speedlight 3D Carbon sole unit. A full-carbon insert at the pedal area imparts outstanding support for a stable pedalling platform and quick power transfer. The stiffness rating of 12 out of 15 guarantees direct and positive power application but also a degree of flex for vibration damping. Just what you need when building winter miles off-road. XFrame ® Excellence When it comes to long-ride comfort there's little that matches the snug-fitting XFrame® upper. This innovative design holds the foot firmly in place but does so without creating pressure points. The system is closed via Northwave's own SLW2 ratchet system, allowing precise customisation of the fit, even on the move, as well as an easy release at the end of a tough winter ride. Cleat Guidance These MTB shoes are compatible with MTB pedal systems, which use cleats with SPD standard (2-bolt standard), e.g.: Shimano SPD, Time ATAC, CrankBrothers, CrankBrothers Race, Look MTB, Xtreme MTB, Wellgo MTB, Ritchey MTB.
The Lake CX 301 road shoe features the CX/TR Race Last which is a slightly narrower toe box & tighter heel than the Competition last and less overall volume than the Sport last. Designed for very high-cadence riding & higher pressure and a slimmer fit.
