ROAD BIKES AND ACCESSORIES
i-ride
THE ARGON 18 Gallium Pro Ultegra and the De Rosa SuperKing E Frameset are just two of the road bikes on offer from i- ride. The Argon 18 Gallium Pro Ultegra Bike has been fully re-designed for 2014 with a new advanced stiffness to weight ratio (SWR), while still providing responsive power transfer, accurate handling and comfort for which the Gallium Pro is known. The SKU comes with two options – internal cables or Di2/EPS. It has a new integrated BB86 bottom bracket, 3D Headtube for tailored adjustment of handlebar height of every rider while enhancing front-end stiffness and 7050 HM carbon composite.
De Rosa’s SuperKing E Frameset (£2,999.99) is the result of a collaboration between De Rosa designers and engineers from Campagnolo. Last year the frame was made specifically for Campagnolo EPS but this year De Rosa has made it compatible with Shimano Di2 too. The battery is completely hidden inside the frame and rechargeable via a ‘plug’ into the frame itself underneath the water bottle holder. The SuperKing features a blend of
three different types of composite fibres MR-60 (295 GPA/5800MPA) HR-40 (390GPA/4610MPA) and NGF's 630GPA in addition to structural reinforcements at the points of greatest stress using high modulus fibres. 01444 243000

Paligap
2014 SEES further growth of the Avanti range from Paligap. The family-owned New Zealand bike brand continues to expand its range with the inclusion of the new Corsa SL carbon road bike, a development of the award-winning Corsa aero road bike launched last year. With chainstay mounted rear brake and new tube profiling this is set to be a fine addition to the range of existing aluminium and carbon road bikes.
Also new is the carbon Ridgeline full- suspension 29er, a 100mm travel fast XC orientated machine based on the original aluminium model and was two years in the making. With new colours and graphics for
2014, Avanti’s latest range promises to be the best yet with all categories of road, MTB, urban and leisure catered for. There are now over 60 Avanti dealers, just 18 months after the brand was established in the UK.
