Northwave Scorpius SRS shoes


SO GOOD
Efficient, reasonably light (436g) and well vented, these are a good summer option. The carbon-powder reinforced thermoplastic sole feels very stiff, and the Slim Ratchet System (SRS) provides a secure and comfortable fit that helps boost power transfer further, with minimal heel lift. The outsole grips well on soft ground.

NO GOOD
The heavily perforated upper just isn’t practical for colder days, and the hard tread makes walking on rock – or those moments when you can’t quite clip in – rather dicey. The thin footbed offers little arch support, which means the shoes can become uncomfortable on long rides.

Price 150$

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.
