The unique 10t start of the cassettes means you can use smaller chainrings than normal while retaining a similar gear for top speed.

The power meter has a power balance feature, that measures power from left and right legs separately and is accurate within +/- 1.5%, giving a highly accurate reading to help you train and ride harder.

The Antares 00 (00 meaning "the top" in Italian) is the top-of-the-line saddle available in this shape. The high-modulus carbon shell with Wing Flex™ and Mobius™ carbon braided rail (NEW for 2016) make this the lightest and most stiff Antares model available. Despite the saddle’s very low weight, special 00 foam compound ensures that comfort is not compromised. Antares 00 is for The Chameleon: Medium Spine. If you have an intermediate degree of spinal flexibility (approximately 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a chameleon. Your degree of spinal flexibility helps you so far, before you need to rotate your pelvis slightly to achieve fully the performance position. You will benefit from the increased width and slight curvature of the Antares shape.

Sidi Sixty Road ShoesCreated to mark Sidi's 60th anniversary, the Sidi Sixty Road Shoes deliver you Italian made quality, a refined aesthetic and modern cycling performance. And being Sidi, we'd expect these to be going strong in sixty years too. A Classic in the MakingMixing cutting edge cycling technology with a timeless aesthetic and with Sidi's well-earned reputation for durability, the Sixty Road Shoes are an outstanding choice for the most demanding of cyclists. The upper benefits from being made from Sidi's TechPro Microfibre. This highly functional material is an eco-friendly leatherette offering a supple and comfortable fit while maintaining superb durability as well as offering water-resistance for damp days. Areas of nylon mesh provide a boost to breathability and airflow, ensuring your hot days on the bike don't leave your feet damp and uncomfortable. An anti-mould treatment also helps fight the build-up of bacteria, leaving your feet fresh, kilometre after kilometre. Tecno-4 closure systemIt was in 1988 that a rotor closure system first appeared on Sidi shoes and this style of closure has been a feature ever since. The very latest Tecno-4 closure system is, of course, leaps and bounds beyond that original system, offering a superbly precise adjustment of the fit. Smooth running wire laces pull evenly to apply just the right amount of pressure. The release of the tension has been improved for faster closure and release. Like all Sidi shoes, this new Tecno-4 is replaceable, allowing your shoes to last and last.As well as the Tecno-4 system, the Sixty makes use of high-security Velcro strap across the front of the shoe. With integrated teeth that lock together when the strap is closed, this system creates a secure fit while keeping weight low and ease of use high.Vent Carbon SoleThe low weight and stiffness of the Vent Carbon Sole allow for high performing power transfers. Put the power down and revel in an instant reaction as you quickly get up to speed. The woven carbon fibre construction maximises the soles stiffness while allowing for a small degree of flex in the toes. This carefully honed flex biomechanically relieves stress on the plantar tendon and helps promote circulation. The sole is also designed with summer in mind, featuring an integrated vent and air channels to dissipate heat and improve airflow.A replaceable polyurethane heel pad and replaceable and adjustable front vent give your shoe excellent breathability and durability.Integrated HeelTo the back of the shoe, the fully integrated heel system provides a secure fit and prevents deformation even during prolonged use. The anatomic shape hugs the heel area, preventing slippage when under load and stabilising the foot for a smooth pedal stroke. When making all-out efforts, sprints and hitting the climbs, this extra stability is essential. Lastly, a reflex insert provides greater safety by helping signal your presence to other road users in low light conditions. Cleat GuidanceThese Road Shoes are compatible with road bike pedal systems that use cleats with 3-bolt standards, such as: Look Delta and Keo, Shimano SPD-SL, Speedplay Light Action, Zero, X-Series (via 3-hole adapter plate), Campagnolo Pro-Fit, Mavic Zxellium, Time Iclic/Xpresso and Time Impact Features:Please Note: Sidi recommend purchasing one whole size up from your usual fitModel to mark Sidi's 60th anniversaryTechPro upperTecno-4 closure systemHigh-security Velcro strapFull 3k carbon Vent soleHandmade in Italy3-bolt cleat compatibleBuy Sidi from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Sram reset the world of mountain bike drivetrains with the introduction of their XX1 and X01 Eagle AXS drivetrains and their incredible wireless derailleurs and controller. Now they have reset it again with the incredible GX Eagle AXS Upgrade Kit, which brings faultless, easy to install wireless shifting to your existing Eagle drivetrain at an incredible new price point.12-speed wireless electronic drivetrain is easy to install and shifts flawlesslyGX Eagle AXS derailleur features 10mm shorter cage for more clearance, improved chain wrap and better shiftingEagle AXS Controller is simple, easy to use and can be customised with other AXS componentsIncludes GX Eagle AXS Derailleur & battery, Eagle AXS Controller & chargerThe term game-changing is often over-used; for Eagle AXS it is entirely apt. SRAM have designed the new GX Eagle AXS rear derailleur and Eagle AXS controller to take that same performance and bring it a new, lower price, making it perfect for a wide range of bikes, from XC racers to Enduro bruisers.The GX Eagle AXS derailleur carries over many of the features of the mechanical GX derailleur, such as the useful Cage Lock and Type 3 Roller Bearing Clutch. Controlled by SRAM's new AXS technology, the derailleur offers crisp, instantaneous shifting and a super-clean cable free design, taking mere seconds to install and sync with the GX AXS controller using the AXS app. Further improving shifting and durability is the Overload Clutch. This works to protect the rear derailleur in case of a direct strike to it from a trail-side obstacle or crash, protecting the derailleur and keeping it shifting smoothly. The system is completely water and dust proof to IP67K, so the elements are shrugged off with ease. The battery is shared with other AXS and eTap components, so can be swapped if needed and lasts between 20-30 hours of riding between charges.The GX Eagle AXS Controller is the real highlight of the range. As with the derailleur, the AXS Controller installs in seconds thanks to it's wireless design and is MatchMaker X compatible so it can neatly sync with compatible brake levers. It takes mere seconds to sync to AXS derailleurs. Designed to be as ergonomic as possible, shifts can be made with minimal hand movement, so you're always in control. The touch-points on the controller can be easily customised with the AXS app, so if you want different button configurations you can do just that. Like the derailleur, the AXS controller is water and dust proof to IP67K standard. Powered by a simple CR2032 battery, the AXS controller can last for around 2 years without needing to change the battery. SRAM sought to bring the incredible performance of the top-end AXS drivetrains to a more budget-friendly price point and with the GX Eagle AXS Upgrade Kit, they have done just that!
