2012 Ridley Helium / SRAM Force Complete Bike - 2012
Now several tours in the rear-view mirror, the story of Dutch pro Johnny Hoogerland and his Ridley Helium in the Tour de France of 2011 still lives on the lore of professional cycling hardmen. It's nothing short of a miracle that Hoogerland's racing career didn't end in that gruesome meeting with ...read more
2012 Ridley Noah RS / Shimano Ultegra Complete Bike - 2012
We have conditioned ourselves to understand that compromise is something of an inevitability when choosing a bike: comfortable bikes aren't always stiff enough. Conservative builds won't always get you on the podium, either for lack of lightness or reliability. Think of the Noah RS Shimano ...read more

2011 Ridley Helium - 2011
The original superstar frameset in the Ridley line up was the Excalibur. It balanced lightness, stiffness, durability, and beauty -- in other words it melded nearly every variable that matters when you're considering a new frameset. It makes logical sense, then, that Ridley chose to expand ...read more
2013 Ridley X-Night - 2013
Cyclocross, true cyclocross, creates paradoxical demands on your bike like no other cycling discipline. On the one hand, your bike will need to withstand rocky and rutted courses, g-outs into deep mud, and the aggression of sand inside all the moving parts. On the other, you'll essentially ...read more
2012 Ridley Helium - 2012
Who can forget stage 9 of the 2011 Tour de France as we watched horrifying imagery of Vacansoleil-DCM's Johnny Hoogerland as his breakaway companion Juan-Antonio Flecha was struck by a French media car, launching Hoogerland into a barbed wire fence at roadside. The disturbing video still ...read more
2012 Ridley Noah - 2012

2011 Ridley Noah - 2011
It's easy to get obsessed with shaving grams from your bike, but do you give much thought to grams of drag?

2012 Pinarello FP Quattro/Shimano Ultegra Di2 Complete Bike - 2012
Pinarello has never been content to reserve their award-winning asymmetrical frame design for top-shelf offerings like the Dogma or Paris. 2012 marks another huge forward leap for the Pinarello FP Quattro, as the frame is granted an even larger slice of the Dogma's storied pedigree. And, combined ...read more
2008 Pinarello Prince Carbon/SRAM Force Complete Bike
Pinarello has kept their legendary Prince name in circulation for well over a decade. The first-generation Prince was a Dedacciai SC61.10a aluminum bike. It was introduced just after Jan Ullrich won the '97 Tour de France (on a Pinarello), and it is best known for being the bike that spawned the ...read more
2012 Pinarello FP Quattro Easy-Fit Ultegra Bike - Women's
Simply put, the Pinarello FP Quattro Easy-Fit Women's Bike is derived directly from the Paris frame and incorporates the the same asymmetric tubing seen in the flagship Dogma—but it's designed for womens' shorter torsos. The side benefit to this design is that if your back is less than flexible, t ...read more
2012 Pinarello FP Quattro/SRAM Force/Rival Complete Bike - 2012
Language is a funny thing. The Anglophone cycling world now talks about having "good sensations" in their legs when they're feeling strong. It comes from a literal translation of Spanish we've read in countless race reports, though the Spaniards are merely saying they have good legs. This brings us ...read more
2012 Pinarello FP DUE / Shimano Ultegra Complete Bike - 2012
Smart can lead to joyous, and we see it when looking at the Pinarello FP Due/Shimano Ultegra 6700 Complete Bike.

Unless, of course, you plan to start with this FP Due with a smart SRAM Rival build. Highly performance-driven, ...read more
2011 Pinarello Dogma - 2011
The human body is symmetrical. But there's an inherent asymmetry to how your bicycle catalyzes the power you put into the pedals. It's easy to visualize, for example, how in a high-wattage effort your right chainstay is torqued more acutely than the left. The cause is obvious: Your crankset, ...read more
2008 Pinarello Prince Carbon
The 2008 Prince Carbon is identical in every last detail to the 2009 edition. The paint schemes are different, but other than that detail, they are equals in every last way.

2012 Wilier Cento1 SL / SRAM Force Complete Bike - 2012

Lighter, stiffer, and faster ...read more
2012 Wilier Imperiale/Ultegra 6700 Complete Bike - 2012
For some, grams are all that matters; minimizing them becomes a singular focus. But there is another force at work against a cyclist at speed, grams of drag, and minimizing these grams can be just as important. Sure, we're happy to ride sub 1100 gram bike frames, but we know that there are ...read more
2012 Wilier Twin Foil - 2012
Efficiency is all-important for time trialing. Drag is the enemy. The less energy used to overcome the road, the wind, the bearings, etc., the more energy can be utilized to propel the bike forward, so get out the most aero wheels, the tightest skinsuit, the lowest position, blow the grease ...read more
2012 Wilier Cento1 SL - 2012
Poland: Not the first place you'd think of as proving grounds for high-tech bike gear. But Poland, specifically the tongue-twisting town Krynica-Zdrój, was the site of the awe-inspiring global debut of the Wilier Cento1 SL. The Tour of Poland is held in August, arguably the least sexy month o ...read more
2013 Wilier Blade
When we first set our eyes on Wilier's Blade time trial frame, we thought it was a Twinfoil with a mismatched fork. Perhaps an earlier generation version, perhaps a test mule. We were wrong. The Blade is its own bike. What you're seeing is a frame that came out of the same mold as the Twinfoil ...read more
2012 Wilier Imperiale - 2012
For the better part of a decade the road bike marketplace has been defined by a singular arms race: With each passing year carbon frames have gotten lighter and lighter to the point where sub-800g no longer astonishes. Sure, we're glad we're no longer racing on a 1250g frame, but likewise common ...read more
2012 Orbea Ordu Gold Electronic - 2012
The Ordu Gold Electronic is the premier time trial/triathlon bike from Orbea. It’s the exact same as the Ordu Gold, though it’s made specifically for use with electronic shifting components like Shimano’s Dura-Ace and Ultegra Di2 or the forthcoming Campagnolo electronic group. It ...read more
2013 BH RX Team / Shimano Ultegra Complete Bike
As cyclists, we've become too accustomed to the banality of 'new models' of our favorite bikes. Every year we see it, most builders just throw on the accessory du jour, call a red paint job 'aero,' dust off their hands, and call it new. Luckily, BH didn't become entangled with the status quo. ...read more

Luckily, BH didn't become entangled with the status quo. ...read more
2012 BH Cristal - 2012
Just because there is a chromosomal difference between men and women, there is no need to alter the DNA of the road racing bicycle. The BH Cristal is very much like their G5 frameset, though the geometry will better accommodate women's typically shorter torsos and arms. Where you might feel ...read more
2012 BH RX1 - 2012

2012 Civilian Bicycle Co. Vive Le Roi - 2012
From sloppy autumn days to frozen, early winter mornings, cyclocross racing draws competitors and spectators alike to brave harsh conditions.
