Quite often Triathlon framesets have smaller frame triangles and shorter head tubes in an effort to make the frames more aerodynamic. This results in having to pull the water bottle somewhat sideways in order to get it out of the bottle cage. Most current cages on the market make bottle extraction difficult. The engineers at XLAB have a cage that grips very well over bumpy surfaces but also has a special cut off angle of 30 degrees which testing has proved is the optimum angle in Tri framesets. It is super quick to get the bottle out of the cage. The cage features stiff bottom lip to support large bottles, stiff upper tab to retain bottles in the cage and slots in the back to provide vertical adjustment on the frame. Made with the same high temperature and pressure process as the successful GORILLA CAGE and in extra stiff carbon. The 6 arm design and graphics match the GORILLA CAGE so you can now have a consistent bottle cage design on your racing machine but with cages designed for each specific purpose. Use GORILLA CAGE for rear hydration carriers.
This mountain bike (MTB) tyre is specifically designed for tackling loose terrains on your ride. It features a high-quality Soft Compound that ensures the best balance between grip and rolling resistance for gravity-focused disciplines. Continental has also equipped this model with supported in-line shoulder studs with a supportive structure for high stability, even when cornering aggressively. This allows you to benefit from a high-level mechanical grip, especially in loose soils and terrain conditions. Another highlight is its open tread pattern design for the perfect interaction on loose surfaces and good self-cleaning in moist and wet conditions. Its pronounced studs are also equipped with steep ramps in order to generate mechanical grip through a pattern-soil interaction. As a result, you'll notice its exceptional grip on loose and mixed surfaces. MTB Tyre with Enduro Casing No stranger to the finer details, this MTB tyre comes kitted out with an Enduro Casing. Its durable single-ply carcass construction includes Apex to prevent snakebites for a confident and secure ride, wherever your adventure takes you. Another highlight is its tubeless ready technology, which allows you to benefit from tubeless advantages such as the ability to run lower tyre pressures for increased comfort, stability and fewer risks of flats or punctures.

The Hip Pack 3L is compatible with Evoc's 1.5L Hip Pack Hydration Bladder which is available to purchase separately.
A Fast Fit The Women's Dyora RS Aero Jersey has had every detail scrutinised and examined to optimise fit and performance so you'll benefit when it comes to training and racing. The Assos aeroFit is extremely close fitting, and while it may feel odd and restrictive off the bike, it really comes into its own when the pressure is on. Once you're in a low, aggressive riding position and you're pushing the power through the pedals, the smooth fit minimises drag, saving precious energy and optimising your power output. Free speed, comes to mind. Supreme Summer Performance After the fit, we come to highly functional fabrics. First comes the technical miniCheck Tex fabric. This incredibly lightweight 3D knit fabric is both extremely elastic to give you an uncompromised close aero fit and it's highly breathable too, ensuring you don't get overwhelmed with sweat when your riding efforts intensify. Meanwhile, the rear of the jersey sees Assos' featherweight Stabilizer textile deployed. This holds the jersey smoothly in place thanks to its limited vertical stretch, keeping airflow smooth and uninterrupted. Lastly, taking into account a low and aggressive riding position, the raw bonded sleeves, yoke and pockets ensure smooth transitions while remaining incredibly flexible. All the fabrics used also feature Ultraviolet Protection (UPF) of between 25 and 50, protecting you on the sunniest of race and training days. While the Women's Dyora RS Aero Jersey is, of course, speed-focused, Assos haven't overlooked more practical requirements. An ultralight bonded cam-lock zipper to the front gives you control of ventilation, while the triple ramp pocket design allows very easy access to all your essentials. A lightweight taped waist keeps bulk low, the fit smooth and it's durable too. When speed counts, then the Women's Dyora RS Aero SS Jersey is a natural choice. Use it when fitness is good, the sun is shining and when you have race rivals to drop (even if it a sprint to the road sign with friends).
Developed for the rigours of modern mountain bike (MTB) riding, this trail-ready chain is engineered for reliable acceleration and shifting. This SRAM PC X01 Eagle chain features a nickel outer plate and a chrome plated inner plate for the best balance of strength and durability. SRAM has also equipped this model with a chrome hardened pin treatment for additional protection against wear on your MTB adventures. It might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible chain design makes possible a gear range previously found only in 2-chainring drivetrains. And it's also the biggest contributor to the Eagle drivetrain's ultra-smooth, precise, durable and quiet performance. The Eagle chain's links have a smooth radius, with no sharp edges or chamfers, which yield a significant reduction in noise, friction and wear on chainrings and cassette cogs. This design also allows for a flatter plate, which means more consistent chain riveting and greater overall strength. HARD CHROME technology extends the chain's optimal performance life. - Groundbreaking chain design and technology. - The Eagle chain has been completely re-engineered, and is produced with new manufacturing technology. - Eagle PowerLock chain connector with FLOW LINK technology provides better chain-guiding and increased longevity - The Eagle chain is the quietest, strongest and most wear-resistant chain in the world. - Unique features and design also provide significantly improved wear resistance on Eagle cassettes and rings. Technologies: Flow Link: Ultra-smooth chain inner-plates are completely devoid of square edges, resulting in a chain that engages the cassette and chainring with far less friction, for quieter performance and better wear life. The design allows a narrower overall profile that can withstand greater angles, and also allows for a flatter outer-plate, which means more consistent chain riveting and enhanced overall strength. Hard Chrome: The SRAM Hard Chrome chain has four times the elongation (wear) resistance to their other chains. This is due to the new finishing process on the inner links and rollers. Pushpin strength and ultimate strength are equivalent to SRAM's current chains. The Hard Chrome chain lasts longer and is just as strong. PowerLock: SRAM chain engineers developed PowerLock as a tool-free, sure, and consistent way to connect their chains. While PowerLock does not require special tools for install, the especially tight tolerances of 10, 11 and 12 speed drivetrains mandate that each PowerLock is good for a one-time application only. X-Sync: The SRAM X-Sync tall square teeth edges engage the chain earlier than traditional triangle shaped teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile, as well as rounded chamfer edges, helps manage a deflected chain. To provide the best possible performance in muddy conditions, the X-Sync chain rings have been designed with mud-clearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers. Engineered in Germany, X-Sync rings are an integral part of the SRAM 1x drivetrain.
The Buffalo Mitts are an essential for any outdoor enthusiast with a Pertex® Quantum exterior that provides enhanced water-resistance and windproof protection up to 50mph. The interior AquaTherm pile lining keeps your hands warm and cosy with a comfortable, touch-and-close wrist adjustment system that secures the fit.
On damp and windy days of cycling, it pays to have emergency layers in case of a sudden shower or drop in temperature. And the Spirit Cycling Vest is the perfect layering solution. Made from Gore-tex INFINIUM™ it's completely windproof but at the same time highly breathable too, ensuring your comfort as the weather swings from dry and mild to wet and windy. And if the weather improves nicely, it folds up small to fit easily in a jersey pocket or backpack. Details such as the close-fitting high collar and storm flap under the zip also aid in the overall levels of protection. The slim fit keeps flapping to a minimum but does make it easy to pull the vest over different weights of jerseys/jackets. With reflective details, you'll also be easy to pick out as you cycling in the darker hours of the day.
Rather than use bib straps, the Women's R-EV1 Future Integrato Bib Shorts instead integrates a base-layer style mesh upper to provide fantastic support and comfort. It can also be combined with a sports bra to offer increased support for women with a larger bust. Technical fabrics give you a second-skin fit that feels great against the skin while also rapidly drawing away sweat to leave you both comfortable and dry. With its open back, you'll also enjoy excellent air circulation so you don't overheat as the heat rises. The shorts section is treated to Speedy fabric on the central panel to enhance ventilation and also minimise abrasion from pedalling. Aero Flash Wave is then deployed to the sides. This cutting-edge fabric features complex yarns to create an extremely fast-drying fabric so you always feel fresh. The wave pattern has also been wind-tunnel proven to improve aerodynamic performance. Lastly, Ale's supremely good leg grippers keep the shorts in place without any 'sausage' effect. Fresh. Quick. Comfortable. What more could you ask? Well, Coldblack technology is used too - this treatment gives protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays and at the same time prevents heat build-up. Women's Velocity W8H Seat Pad Created specifically for female cyclists, the Velocity W8H Seat Pad makes use of high-density open-cell foam (density: 100 g/m², thickness: 12 mm) to give you the very best in support and protection on the saddle. 3mm ventilation holes in the foam give a significant boost to ventilation and moisture control, ensuring dry and fresh comfort no matter how hard you're riding or how hot the temperatures.

While conditions in the valleys can be calm and mild, gaining some elevation on the trails and bursting out of the cover of trees can see you exposed to cooler temperatures and biting winds. It's now you'll glad you have the Ranger Wind Cycling Jacket to hand. With a Cordura™ Ripstop main body, it protects against windchill remarkably well. It's tough too, protecting against cuts, snags and general wear and tear. A DWR (Durable Water Repellent) also provides protection from muddy puddles and light rain from low-hanging clouds. Elastic wrist cuffs and lower hem keep the elements locked out too. When conditions improve or you're back on the climbs, it rolls up into its own front pocket, making it easy to stash in a jersey pocket or backpack. The Fox Rider Attack Position patterning creates a jacket that is fitted just right for mountain biking too. There's plenty of space to remain mobile on your bike and yet it's not so baggy as to cause too much speed-sapping drag on the downhills.
