Theis product's carbon thermoplastic composite shell and carbon braided rail reduce weight and increase saddle stiffness. The Arione R1 Carbon saddle is for The Snake: Flexible Spine. If you are very spinally flexible (far less than 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 Snake. You achieve the performance position using your spinal flexibility alone, not rotating your pelvis at all. You will like the flat, narrow and long shape of the Arione. Please Note: The "regular" 126mm wide version has a smooth finish top and the "large" 140mm wide version has a dimpled finish top.
Riding off-road is tough on equipment. What with inevitable crashes as you push your riding boundaries and the overhanging trees, bushes and branches, you'll be happy to have the extra toughness of the Defend Pro Cycling Trousers and their Cordura® abrasion-resistant panels. Meanwhile, with their TruMotion® all-way stretch fabric, the Defender Pros also offer up excellent flexibility, ideal for pedalling up to the trailhead, and with easy mobility so you can fully enjoy the descents. The race-bred fit sees the legs tapered and finished with an elastic cuff, reducing snags, preventing chain catch and preventing speed-sapping flapping too. Mountain biking comfort is further bolstered by the combination of TruDri® fabrics, mesh panels and laser-cut ventilation to the front and back. TruDri® is very quick to wick away sweat before you feel any discomfort and laser-cut vents allow for cooling airflow on a warm day. You'll also be pleased to find the pants have a Durable Water Repellent finish. This will shed dirt and moisture when you encounter damp trails. The proven race-ratchet closure provides easy adjustment and keeps the pants from slipping while you move and pedal.

There is no middle ground where you're waiting for the shift to come. Gear changes are instant and precise.
This dual control level set is compatible with Shimano 9-Speed road groupsets and triple chainsets. Plus, the rear shifter features multi-shift, this means it can shift up to three gears across the rear cassette in one motion.

Ventilation Whatever your distance, the Hip Pack Pro 3L can be individually adjusted to provide the perfect level of ventilation along the back panel thanks to an Air Flow Contact System with specially grooved channels and EVA Pads behind mesh material, practically moved to the inside to maximise comfort. As with all Evoc packs, the circulation technology optimises ventilation, preventing excessive cooling of the kidney area throughout high strain activity. Gaps along the sides of the channel also allow air to freely escape. Comfort A Venti-Flap system folds the back piece away for maximum ventilation, enhancing your carrying comfort by opening the adjustment straps over longer ascents, increasing ventilation. As you descend, the pack can sit firmy and completely natural to movement. With 3D Air Mesh strategically placed over the shoulder straps, cushioning is optimised, sitting comfortably on the hips throughout. Organisation With minimal space, the Hip Pack provides impressive on-the-go organisation, accomodating two bottles to keep you hydrated. A smartphone specific pocket is easy to access and a nutrition pocket will keep you moving from dawn to dawn.
The Potenza rear derailleur takes a great deal of inspiration from the recently launched Revolution 11+ drivetrains and guarantees a similar degree of shifting performance as a result. Changing only the materials used in its construction, the Potenza 11™ rear derailleur is capable of shifting with the precision and speed of the Super Record version with the only compromise coming in the form of weight. In addition to the form and structure of the component Embrace Technology, introduced on the Super Record, Record e Chorus groupsets launched last year has been incorporated into the performance of the Potenza 11™ rear derailleur. The form of the external pieces allow the rear derailleur to move at a different angle and the internal design pulls the chain closer to the cassette. This translates into better power transfer, more secure grip, better chain/cassette interface and a longer life for consumable components. The chain will grip more teeth (when compared to rear derailleurs without Embrace Technology) and as a result disperse energy across a larger surface area, increasing the life of the cassette and lengthening the lifespan of the chain as well. By allowing the derailleur to work closer to the cassette in every position the athlete can now take advantage of perfect alignment between cassette and rear derailleur in any given gear. The internal structure of the original Revolution 11+ rear derailleur was modified slightly to produce the Potenza 11™ version in order to offer the same fantastic transmission while accepting larger gearing up to a 32 tooth cassette. The rear derailleur will be available in two versions; one with a 55mm cage and the other with a 72,5mm (Medium) cage designed to be compatible with the all-new 11-32 cassette.
Taking your head protection to the next level, the MT500 MIPS Helmet combines a host of features to make your mountain biking safer and give you the confidence to take on ever more challenging terrain. Starting with the in-mould construction, this combines a tough and durable outer with a shock-absorbing foam inner. This keeps your head protected when you push your limits a bit too far and hit the ground. Koroyd Technology Engineered Protection The MT500 also features Koroyd protection. Thousands of co-polymer extruded tubes are thermally welded to create a consistent and fully engineered energy absorption system. These cores plastically deform for higher speed impacts, absorbing energy linearly. Up to 84% of the material thickness can be utilised in case of an accident. Existing energy absorbers densify around 60%. 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. Shop All MIPS Helmets Click Here Cool and Comfortable As well as keeping your head safe, the MT500 is comfortable too. The adjustment system is quick and easy to use via a rear dial, ensuring you always get a good fit. After all, a good-fitting helmet is a safer more comfortable helmet. Inside, you'll also find quick-wicking and quick-drying pads. These make sure a tough pedal upwards won't leave your brow soaked in sweat. Airflow is also optimised for cool comfort. Large vents, including an upper 'air intake' zone, keep fresh air circulating and allow damp air to escape. Front vets also act as a sunglasses dock. And if you prefer wearing goggles, then a rear gripper will keep your goggle strap firmly in place over any terrain. An adjustable visor completes the awesome trail-ready package.
