Zyro
WITH ONE of the larger portfolios of the nation’s bike distributors, Zyro is able to meet most stock needs with some great tailored labels such as Panaracer for tyres, Prologo for saddles and Bryton for cycle computers. From Panaracer, the All Round Race
tyre supersedes the massively popular EVO3 with the same race-winning performance, but with extra tread thickness for durability. The same bead to bead PT (Puncture Technology) layer is virtually impregnable. What’s more, it’s available in black, or with red or blue Sidewalls. The tyre weighs approximately 210 grams.
Prologo’s Nago EVO saddle, costing £169.99 at retail, is one for the serious roadie used to putting in high mileage. Weighing 155 grams, for of all, it’s light, made up of a carbon fibre injected chassis and carbon rail. Prologo also offers product for the casual cyclist in its Semi-Round line. The Semi-Round shape is a good compromise between a round and flat saddle ideal for riders looking for performance with an element of comfort. The Nago family are designed in this shape.
01845 521700 Eurobike
MODA IS Eurobike's own UK designed and finished label, offering a variety of bikes in all shapes and sizes. For 2013, we're seeing
Moda's first road model that’s electronic shifting compatible right out of the box in the Finale. As standard, the build will come with the new SRAM Red, but will be offered with Campagnolo, or Shimano (cable and electronic) if requested. This build showcases colour-matched American Classic wheels. Retail price for a Red build will be £3,899. Moda also offers full-size and kids-
sized road bikes, including a 650c Major Road and 26-inch Major X for the cyclocross enthusiast. Using
CSG UK
THOSE WHO swung by either the Manchester Velodrome or Mercedes Benz world CSG trade shows will have been given the guided tour of the new Cannondale line, which has some interesting technology trickling down. An example is the CAAD8, which is
packed with features drawn directly from its Aluminium Giro d’Italia- winning ancestors. If you're after the most affordable Cannondale road bike ever, look no further than this bike. Cannondale has always been renowned for its aluminium frames having a reputation for stiff, light weight and beautifully welded frames, the CAAD8 brings this technology and quality to the masses for the first time.
GT Bicycles’ GTR series of road bikes is aimed squarely at the sportive rider. The simple three-bike line up covers most consumers’ price points. A GT speed metal double butted and hydroformed frame combine with Shimano parts to create a bike that is equally at home on the daily commute or at the head of the peleton. Comfort and performance aren’t mutually exclusive with the GTR series, says GT, it is possible to have both in one bike. 01202 732288
components tailored to the smaller features of young riders, the bikes are a great introduction to drop bar cycling. Dealers should also look out for the Minor and Minor X, both designed in Derby with the growing rider in mind. Considering these builds carry downsized cockpits, better suited gearing and tailored frame geometry, these bikes are top notch for £469.99. The Major costs £489.99. 01332 774796
