YOU MAY have noticed in last month’s London Bike Show review that Whyte has debuted a flashy range of bars, stems, grips and saddles, among other bits. “These will keep Whyte riders in the brand when they look to upgrade,” says Whyte designer Ian Alexander. There’s both a sport and a comfort saddle, with a double density pad and reinforced resin shell providing a robust perch. Whyte’s trail 20mm riser bar comes in at 710mm wide and is made with a lightweight 2014 alloy, which is shot peened for extra strength. Whyte’s stems are the eye-catcher of the bunch, coming in 60, 70 and 80mm reaches and supplied with interchangeable face plates in a gold, orange and cyan shade for colour matching to Whyte’s main colour schemes.
Schwalbe Ultremo zx Various distributors
IN THE races up to and after the Melton Classic, Node4 Giordana and Team Raleigh will be testing the newest Schwalbe tyre on the road market – the Ultremo ZX Tubeless. The extremely fast and safe tubeless road tyre
gives no component friction between tyre and tube. Its construction radically minimises rolling resistance and virtually excludes sudden air loss. The tyres will be available to the trade from May in a tubeless set, which will include two tyres, Easy Fit solution and Doc Blue sealant – though they will only be available in selected specialist bicycle dealers due to the technical nature of the product.

Polartec Neoshell jackets Sugoi: 07734 206702
HAVING PARTNERED with fabric giant Polartec, Sugoi has come up with the ‘world’s first’ NeoSheel cycling jacket, among other new garments. Claiming to be both breathable and waterproof,
technology, the Crosspoint line includes four distinct gloves designed for active cycling that combine wind sheer, extreme waterproofing and low temperature protection with form fitting comfort. Unlike other gloves using similar ideas, Showers Pass waterproof membrane is bonded and directly laminated to the external shell – meaning there is no gap between the layers in which water could become trapped. The glove line will land with NRG4 in August and
be available in four designs, with wide ranging men’s and women’s sizes on offer.
this elite-level jacket should offer noticeable advantages over jackets that tend to do have either one or the other of the aforementioned qualities. With a drop tail, fully taped seams and water and
wind proofed zippers, the jacket is tailored for comfort in the most unforgiving of conditions. What’s more, the Neoshell features a detachable hood, which slips on and off with magnets and stows in a zippered back pocket. The pro-fitted RSE NeoShell Jacket will be
available in Black or Cyan in size S–XL and retails for £249.99. The semi-fitted RSX NeoShell Jacket (with detachable magnetic hood) will be available in Black or Cyan n size S–XL and retails for £259.99.
