Maurten’s Solid 225 bars are specially formulated for serious performance. Unlike other commercial energy bars, the Solid hasn’t been designed to have snack-appeal. Instead Maurten’s first non-Hydrogel product, the Solid 225 bar, has been created for elite athletes to fuel both performance and recovery. That doesn’t mean the Solid 225 bars don’t taste good – tested on athletes, almost all noted the bar’s pleasant texture and natural taste. The bars feature a stripped back ingredients list that offers a nice level of sweetness and delivers high-carb, low-fibre fuelling. The Solid 225’s are made from natural ingredients and the carbohydrates and sweetness come from a variety of sources including sugar, oats, and rice. Directions for Use Maurten’s Solid 225 bars aren’t a replacement to Maurten’s Hydrogel range but are designed to complement it. Great for use in a wide range of high-performance sports, the bars can be used in several ways: Marathon Runners – Solid is a perfect post-session, or post-race recovery snack to replace carbohydrates. It also works as a pre-race meal alternative. Cyclists – For cyclists the Solid 225 bars are a great fuelling option for low-to-medium intensity rides as a before and after snack. Ultra-Runners – For best results consume a Solid bar every four hours. Thanks to the Solid bar’s salt content, the bars also provide an advantage in replacing sodium levels during long training sessions and races. Triathletes – Great for triathletes, the Solid 225 bar is an ideal between-session fuel as well as a post-session or post-race recovery snack to replace carbohydrates.
Drizzly mist in the air. Freezing temperatures. And cold winds. But despite all that you'll be out on your bike and enjoying winter miles with the protection of the Solid Fondo Jacket. Keeping out drizzly rain, the water-resistant Windtex membrane is also windproof, preventing both cold winds and water from sapping away your body heat. Meanwhile, inside the jacket, you'll find a soft and cosy fleece material. With its square grid structure, it traps air to create a warm and constant microclimate inside, insulating you against the cold. On the bike, you'll find the performance fit ensures you remain streamlined but comfortable. A silicone elastic hem gripper maintains a flush fit over your winter tights while a full-length YKK zipper makes it easy to pull the jacket on and off at the start and end of your bike ride. 3 rear pockets make space for spares and reflective trims keep you visible as day turns to night.
The Solid Fondo Long Sleeve Jersey is made from functional fabrics that balance keeping you warm with the need to deal with sweat quickly and efficiently.

The result is excellent comfort and balanced thermo-regulation. Should you feel yourself overheating the full-length front zip gives you easy control of ventilation to cool yourself down. A silicone elastic hem gripper keeps the fit snug while back pockets offer plenty of space for your cycling essentials. And with a 'Performance Fit', it's a streamlined jersey that won't slow you down as you pick up speed.

Autumn and spring training can see you ticking off steady base-building rides mixed in with higher intensity efforts as you build fitness for summer. And when you add varying temperatures to the mix, getting your kit choice just right can be tricky. But with the Solid Thorn Long Sleeved Cycling Jersey, you have a top that deals extremely well with this variety. Thanks to the Thermo Piquet 200 fabric you'll enjoy excellent warmth when it comes to those slower, steadier rides in cooler temperatures. However, if and when you face stiff headwinds, steep climbs and hard intervals, the sweat you inevitably generate is quickly dealt with. Moisture is drawn off the skin so as to prevent discomfort and the fabric is quick-drying too - as the pace settles down again, you won't feel cold and clammy. The performance fit of the jersey keeps wind resistance to a minimum while still offering plenty of flexibility to move about your bike. The slimmer fit also makes it easy to use as a mid-layer under a winter/rain jacket.
You don't always want or need to resort to covering the legs when temperatures head down, particularly in the transitional seasons of autumn and spring or when riding at high intensities, so having the freedom of wearing shorts but with added warmth is a major plus. The Thermo Garzato micro-fibre fabric used here is lightweight, flexible and not only helps keep in warmth but it breathes remarkably well too - this gives greater comfort in a wide range of temperatures. These winter shorts use Ale's renowned 4HF seat pad, designed for rides of up to 4 hours. Constructed with an elastic microfiber and anatomically shaped for the utmost freedom of movement it's ideally suited to medium to long-distance training rides and racing. The support is strategically positioned in the key saddle contact points, 90 kg/cm² density padding in the perineal and ischiatic area, making for an incredibly comfortable feel. Before the cold weather arrives you'll enjoy the extra warmth these Winter Bib Shorts offer, and they work brilliantly with leg or knee warmers so you can tailor protection to suit your own preference and the conditions on the day of your ride.
