Each seat-post employs 24 individual ‘plies’ of carbon, pre-impregnated with a highly toughened epoxy resin system, designed to ensure a safe and rugged unit. The bulk of the laminate comprises Unidirectional T700 fibre – the highest strength Standard Modulus fibre available. (Unidirectional fibres provide the maximum tensile strength and stiffness with minimum weight.) This is combined with strategically positioned plies of 3K twill woven fabric, adding hoop strength to resist clamping forces and mitigating failure mode in the event of serious crash damage. The 1K 2x2 twill weave fabric outer ply, also contributes in this respect together with a super smooth finish and striking visual aesthetic.

The standard, Dan Bigham designed Anemoi Aero Suit was created by first working to amass a large collection of race data from a variety of triathletes - short, middle and long course, male and female, and age group up to Olympic champions. This data was then used to dictate the direction of the design, knowing that a small change in the drag force experienced can result in an enhanced and much faster performance. Working to create turbulence only where it is needed and minimising skin friction everywhere else creates an energised boundary layer that can resist changes in curvature and shape around the body. Working through countless prototypes to discover the best fabrics, panel positioning, seam lines and much more, HUUB has managed to design an incredibly aerodynamic suit that works consistently for every rider. These design achievements have been pushed even further with the HUUB Anemoi+ Aero Suit thanks to the introduction of fully bonded seams. Progressing their developments to make you more streamlined and deliver more speed, this latest addition has been tried and tested and was found to make an average saving of 4-watts in comparison to the original suit.
It boasts an excellent aerodynamic design, stiff and strong UD carbon fibre construction, and efficient internal cable routing. The SL-70 Aero bar also benefits from Zipp's Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), which was used to design their World class Firecrest® wheels. So, with these bars, you can be sure you’re getting the very best technology to give you the edge on race day.
Durability, reliability and performance are qualities assured by Hope design; they are able to handle the growing demands of modern mountain bike riding, trails and obstacles. They are also very easy to service, require no proprietary tools, making maintenance simple.
There aren’t many times a replacement part actually improves your bike but put one on your bike and you’ll wonder why you didn’t install a NINJA sooner. The bearings are housed in an alloy shell and wrapped with plastic and fibre. This fusion of the three materials provides the bearings a solid platform to sit on and extends their lives. A lot of people would be satisfied with this, but they went even further by extending the alloy shell so the right and left sides lock together. This locks the frame, cranks and bottom bracket together and provides unparalleled stiffness.
Protected by a Fibra-Tek cover, this stunning model features a shock absorbing construction to dampen numbness-causing vibrations and a mix of gel and padding to keep you comfortably cushioned. Additionally, the flat platform and perineum-friendly cut-out of the Selle Italia Max SLR Gel Superflow saddle make this sporty-looking saddle ideally suited with speed and support in mind.

Whether you climb up to the trailhead or save your energies on the uplift, you'll soon be going downhill, and fast, with a huge grin on your face. XC, Enduro, 'Down-country', it's all about the thrill of the ride, and the Moventor 2.0 MTB Helmet (MIPS) is about keeping you safer when enjoying your mountain bike ride. Should you find yourself losing grip, exceeding the limits of your skills or clipping a handlebar it's the Multi-Shell In-Mould construction that provides the first line of defence in a head impact. This sees an inner shock-absorbing core bonded directly to a tough and durable shell. The inner EPS foam soaks up and dissipates impact forces while the outer adds structural strength and fends off minor bumps, from overhanging branches for instance. 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. Safe and Secure Excellent safety is also matched with excellent comfort. A good-fitting helmet is essential for both safety and comfort. And here Abus' Zoom Ace MTB adjustment system makes it easy to get the perfect fit. With the rear dial and the built-in height adjustment, you'll be able to get a secure fit every time you ride. And with ponytail compatibility, long hair isn't going to prevent a comfortable fit either. There's also compatibility with the QUIN chip system (Chip not supplied) - this works alongside the QUIN app to send an SOS should you crash - keeping you safer on remote trails. Cool Head The Moventor MTB helmet has also been designed to optimise cool airflow. When you point your bike downwards and start picking up speed, the 10 air inlets and 9 air outlets provide good ventilation. Even at slower speeds, you'll enjoy excellent ventilation performance.

Taking the fantastic road performance of the GP4000 tyre and making it even better, this Grand Prix 5000 model utilises modern tyre technology to deliver their best road tyre yet. Constructed from Continental's legendary BlackChili compound, unparalleled grip and balance are assured, with strenuous lab and road testing showing tangible advantages to the modern cyclist. Ultra-Performance Road Race Tyre Equipped with other stunning advances including it's impact-absorbing Active Comfort build, a Lazer Grip micro profile along the outer edge for improved cornering grip and Vectran Breaker puncture protection - performance, rolling and reliability is taken to new levels by this unrivalled update. The Stans tyre Sealant prevents flats and slow leaks and works with all valves that have removable valve cores. Technologies: BlackChili Compound: Continental refines newly developed synthetic rubbers with natural rubber with the proven high-performance tread compound. The GP5000 uses these rubbers with special nanometric carbon soot particles, which are optimised in shape and surface properties for best uses for the intended tyre. Tyres with BlackChili Compound reach an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to the previous best Activated Silica Compound, BlackChili tyres have 26% less rolling resistance, a 30% higher friction value (grip) and a 5% increase in mileage. Vectran Breaker: Vectran is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran is spun from melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk, like Vectran, has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight – exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bike tyre as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance. Active Comfort Technology: The revolutionary approach in cycling. Embedded in the tire construction the Active Comfort Technology absorbs vibrations and smoothens your ride. Lazer Grip: Lazer Grip, to make you one with the road. The lasered micro profile structure expands over the tire’s shoulder and provides outstanding cornering.
