I’m not holding back on it. I’m a Swiftwick convert. At last year’s Interbike, we ran into the kind people at Swiftwick and reviewed their revolutionary socks. This year at Interbike, we deliberately stopped by the Swiftwick booth to see what’s new in the world of fine footwear. Although we […]
Trainers have never felt quite right to me. Between the angle of the bike, being elevated off the ground, the lack of realistic movement, and no road feedback, I’ve always struggled to properly bond with my trainer. On the flip side, gathering accurate data indoors is sometimes as elusive as […]
Twelve extra watts. Twelve EXTRA watts. That’s what the Scottoiler Cycle S1 Automatic Chain Lube System is promising you. Now that may not sound like a whole lot, but over the course of a road race, it can give you a serious edge over your competition. And who doesn’t like […]
You’re suited up. You’ve got an undershirt, bib shorts, jersey, maybe a vest on. You’re tightening down your shoes and ready to head out on a ride when it catches your eye. The heart rate strap you totally forgot to put on before you kitted up. LifeBEAM knows this scenario. […]
As the evil Sith, Darth Sidious (aka Emperor Palpatine) said while reveling in the wattage emanating from his fingertips, “Power! Un-lim-i-tid POWER.” Well, there’s nothing evil about knowing exactly how many watts you’re putting forth from your legs, but there’s definitely the same exhilaration in watching your exact output at […]
Last week at Interbike we previewed the latest cycling computer from Polar, the M450. In fact we were so interested to take a look that we made the crew at Polar cut their lunch from Subway short. Unfortunately, we can’t vouch for whether or not they were still stoked to eat […]
There’s nothing quite like the energy of Interbike–it could be all the neon buzz of Las Vegas with its abundance of gnarly (we’re stopping at gnarly). Sin City aside, we really enjoyed two days of outdoor demo and three days at the main show, and we wanted to give you a quick […]
The Rotor booth was under super buzz at Interbike 2015. The peeps at Universal Sports felt big enough to take over our meeting slot. That might sound complainy, but really we were stoked by the opportunity to video-bomb–especially since they brought a dude named Dave Zabriske with them to demonstrate […]
The smart people at K-Edge are catching (pun kind of intended . . . kind of) the 1X fever by teasing their prototype CX1 chain guide at Interbike 2015. We stopped by the booth and got a close-up view of the new solution for riders who’ve embraced the single-front-ring movement […]
It’s Interbike 2015, and Fabric says you don’t need no stinkin’ bottle cages–not in a smug way, though, in a “you could be even more awesome than you are now” way. Their somewhat revolutionary new design uses two simple studs and a compatible bidon to carry your hydration on the […]
Ever ride to the office in a sweaty wrinkled suit? No more. We ran into the folks behind the Henty Wingman at Interbike 2015, and we’re impressed by their clever garment bag for active travelers and commuters. Hang your suit or dress and clothes the same as any garment bag, […]
Freshly announced today at Interbike 2015, Wahoo is releasing its new ELEMNT GPS bike computer later this fall–shipping in November to be exact. We saw a demo of its functionality, and it seems that the only thing this computer can’t do is feed you snacks mid-ride. Available for $329, the […]
Power Meters are getting fancy these days. And the folks at RPM2 have found a new way to measure your wattage on the bike–oh, and on a run. Yah, I said on a run. Because now your insoles can tell you exactly how awesome you are. With this tech, you […]
If you’ve ever felt let down by your current gel because it’s tough on the teeth or tricky to open with two hands while on the bike, Isoride has an answer for you. In their simplistic but ingenious design, these gel-snaps offer a new way to get to your energy […]
