Hot Property- 2013 S-Works Allez LTD instore

Limited Edition S-Works Allez arriving in store this week. Only 110 made world-wide, 23 into Australia. First in best dressed, Size 54, Price. $5999

The S-Works Allez is the first application of SmartWeld technology, pushing the boundaries of alloy to their limits. Because of their engineers, defining the future of aluminum IS rocket science.

Specialized have always used aluminium in their Allez models, but have now built a limited edition S-Works Allez (i.e. top of the range) with only 110 made Worldwide. With their new way of manufacturing aluminium frames, they’ve mimicked the geometry and tube design of their Tarmac models which are made from carbon fiber.

Winter Wrap Ups

With the cold blast of wind & rain this week, it was time to start getting in our new winter stock ready for the new season.

Castelli  Trasparente Jersey

This year we have the Castelli Trasparente Wind Jersey, which is made of a mixture of different fabrics strategically located for optimum performance. The main front material is Gore’s Windstopper X-Lite Stretch fabric. This fabric is thin, lightweight, 100% windproof and water resistant.

 

 

Castelli Fawesome Vest

The  Castelli Fawesome Vest (partnership with Gabba and product testing by Team Garmin-Cervelo) offers a high-performance blend of wind and water protection in a lightweight, aerodynamic package. The windproof and water-resistant Windstopper® X-Lite Plus fabric on the front and shoulders keeps the wind off. Other features include a high collar to keep the wind out when descending, Velocity fabric on the back of the vest for temperature regulation, and a lower-back splash guard to protect from wheel spray. Rear reflective tabs and trim at hem provide increased visibility in low-light conditions.

 

 
Castelli Nanoflex Arm Warmer

The Castelli Nanoflex Arm Warmers,  are originated from the standard Thermoflex armwarmers and then coated with millions of silicone ‘nanofilaments’, creating a water repellent fabric called Nanoflex that causes raindrops to bead off of the fabric as you are riding keeping you drier for longer.
