CHICKEN CYCLEKIT

The up-and-coming Las helmet brand has the
modestly priced Kripton 10 at just £57.99 with elements of the more expensive Italian produced Victory, Anubi, Istrion and Squalo models which are literally fit- and-go and are now sold on reputation. Weight-phobics will be pleased to find ‘the lightest spoke ever made’ debuting – the Sapim CX-Super, while Klaus Greuter will explain the benefits of building with Sapim. A Test Saddle programme that includes the entirely new slimmer shape SLR range and the Money Back Guarantee are set to help sell more expensive models. Vittoria has widened its range of tubulars and reflective Randonneur tyres and introduced the Geax off-road brand via Chicken Cycle-Kit for the first time.

all of which feature Scandium rims, DT Swiss Super Comp spokes, Prolock nipples and are tubeless ready. Formula has introduced the Oval

142x12mm rear axle for increased stiffness and rigidity, while upfront the 44mm headtube now
