Morvelo Angled jersey


Morvelo are known for their eye-catching designs, and if pink and blue stripes aren’t your thing, there are plenty of other killer options in their line-up. Not that it’s all about the visuals – riding in the Angled, it’s clear that the devil is very much in the detail. Mesh side panels give increased ventilation and the high stretch content of the fabric means the slim-ish fit is always comfortable. That’s also helped by a panelled construction through the body, which gives better shape. If this were carried through to the sleeves, the jersey would be close to perfect. The small details are also impressive, including flatlock seams and a high-quality finish. If you came for the casual good looks, you’ll stay for the technical detail and riding comfort.

CANYON NERVE AL 8.0

  S ince their entry into the UK market a few years ago, Canyon have made a name for themselves as purveyors of well-made bikes that exhibit often extraordinary value. The secret (or catch, depending on your point of view) is that the brand don’t have dealers – they ship bikes directly to your door.

Formula CR3 brakes

The CR3 features a cartridge-type master, which improves power and modulation, plus it is super simple to service: The self-enclosed unit threads directly into the lever body. I took apart our test set and had it back together and bled in 10 minutes with no special tools. Like Formula’s RO brakes, the caliper pistons are actually oval, making more surface area–and thus, more power–than round pistons, but simpler than a four-piston system. The CR3 is best suited for aggressive trail riding.
