MAKE LIKE USAIN
More gears, electric shift ing and hydraulic stopping power, all in a beautiful Campagnolo
package… we are drooling already. The Campagnolo Super Record Eps Disc Brake groupset
features a choice of 11-29t or 11-32t 12-speed cassettes. Then it adds electronic shift ing
and increased stopping power in the shape of hydraulic disc brakes. The major benefi t of
the 12-speed cassette is the incremental steps between the various cogs of the cassette,
providing you with the ability to maintain a smooth cadence regardless of the gradient. It is
also available in a cable-actuated version, dubbed the Super Record 12-speed Mechanical
Disc, which has a recommended retail price of R49 299.
WAHOO ELEMNT BOLT | RRP
R4 999 | www.buycycle.co.za
The ELEMNT BOLT is not just a great bike
computer; it is a great aerodynamic bike
computer. It features the functionality and
ease of use of the original BOLT but with
the added benefi t of being designed to cut
through the wind on the pointy end of your
bike. When fi tted to WAHOO’s integrated Out
Front Mount it produces 50% less drag than
the standard BOLT. On the feature front it can
provide turn-by-turn navigation and, thanks to
its black and white screen, its battery will last
for up to 15 hours of ride time.

ENVY OUR AERO
ENVE Aero Road Stem |
RRP R5 150 | www.enve.com
ENVE’s Aero Road Stem makes use of an angle-adjusting
shim to provide you with the choice of a -12° (standard),
-17° or -7° angle when fi tting the stem to your bike.
Through work with Team Dimension Data, ENVE says it
has discovered that these angles are best for getting riders
as aerodynamic as possible on the bike. The carbon stem
is also exceptionally neat, which ensures cleaner airfl ow
over it, and is compatible with all ENVE road bars and
any standard steerer tube. Just note that it is intended for
negative drop only and cannot be fl ipped.
RACE/ADVENTURE ALL-IN-ONE
Rondo HVRT | RRP from R34 950 | www.rondobikes.co.za
Rondo’s take on versatility is a re-imagination on the term. Their HVRT is essentially
an aero road bike with big tyre clearance, big enough for 700x32C or even
650Bx47C tyres. Its geometry points to a race-focused machine, but with a fl ip of
the clip in the Twintip fork, you can make it slacker for ultra-endurance adventure
rides. Fit it with rubber at the upper end of its compatibility range and you can crush
even the most pot-holed South African roads. Rondo calls its compatibility with
650B wheels in a road bike Road Plus, and says that in the HVRT you will have one
bike that can do it all. You will probably need a second wheelset to really get the
most out of its capabilities though. As pictured in the CFO specifi cation, it features
carbon HUNT wheels and a Shimano Dura-Ace drivetrain. It is available in an
aluminium frame (full bikes from R34 950), carbon frame (R32 900) or steel frame
(R18 900) and with Twintip fork options for you to build up as you see fi t.
