WINTER WARMERS
Bontrager Thermal Leg
Warmers | RRP R849 |
www.trekbikes.com
Stay warm on winter rides with a set
of these leg warmers. They provide
coverage from ankle to mid-thigh
and feature a thermal inner layer that
locks heat against your skin but wicks
moisture off it. They have a printed
silicone gripper to keep them from
slipping down and high-visibility
detailing to ensure you are readily
spottable in the dark.
WORLD CHAMP APPROVED
ABUS AirBreaker Helmet | RRP R3 999
| www.positivesportssolutions.co.za
ABUS helmets are worn by the Movistar team,
including reigning road race World Champion
Alejandro Valverde. The relationship is not
just a one-way street – the WorldTour team
provides ABUS’s designers with crucial
feedback, which helps them to create even
better helmets. The AirBreaker model is
designed for ventilation and comfort and
meets all the necessary safety standards.
EAST-ON BOYS
Easton EC90 Aero 85 carbon clinchers | RRP
from R35 000 | www.eastoncycling.com
These wheels are full deep-section, wind-slicing,
disc-brake-equipped hoops. They feature 85mm
deep sections, with a 19mm internal and 28mm
external width. The Easton Vault hubs are laced with
Sapim CX-RAY straight-pull spokes and roll-on sealed
cartridge bearings. They weigh in at 1 827g and
are designed to eke out the maximum aerodynamic
advantage from your aero road bike.
CELESTE SENSATION
Bianchi Aria DISC Ultegra Di2 |
RRP R84 999 | www.bianchi.com
You can get the Bianchi Aria DISC Ultegra Di2 in any
colour you like, as long as it’s Celeste. Okay, that’s
not true, you can get it in Dark Grey too, but why
would you get a Bianchi in anything other
than Celeste? The Aria is Bianchi’s new
aerodynamic road bike, which cheats
the wind through clever design
but also by creating a geometry
that allows the rider to get into
an effi cient tuck position. As
seen here it features a Shimano
Ultegra Di2 drivetrain and
hydraulic disc brakes. The
wheels are Fulcrum Racing’s
618 disc brake models with
aluminium asymmetric rims with
thru axles front and rear.
