When it comes to opportunities to be one of the first to see a new cycling product we always jump at the chance to get involved. That's exactly what we did when we received an invite to test out the 2019 Cervelo P5 Time Trial Bike out in the USA.

Looking into the Specialized S-Works range, we identify the key features that set it apart from the rest of the market.

Designed to meet the demands of the cyclist looking to race, commute and everything in between aboard the same bike, the Cannondale Synapse Carbon Tiagra Road Bike is certainly a versatile option. With its intuitive geometry and design, it breaks the traditional stereotype whereby one must compromise performance for endurance; offering riders both speed and comfort by the bucket load.

When it comes to fitting tyres we're presented with several options, the standard clincher tyre and tube combination, the pro-ridden tubular tyre or the new and advanced tubeless tyre. Tubeless and tubular setups eliminate the use of tubes, however it is the former that significantly removes the risks of punctures, whether it be pinch punctures or caused by thorns/ shrapnel found in the road.

When Specialized announced the new Tarmac SL6 I have to confess, I was torn. I already own a Tarmac and whilst I wanted this new model to be great I also didn’t want it to completely overshadow my old model. On the other hand, I was even more excited when I found out we were going to be the first retailer to get our hands on one in my size. I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to test this latest offering from Specialized.

In the last few years, road cycling has undergone a somewhat substantial evolution. Whilst our power meters, aero wheels and lightweight kit all still matter and play an important part in our sport, there has been more consideration towards those who want to get back to the basics of what riding a bike should be about. Exploration, freedom and just have a bit of fun.

Bike launches often come with a fair degree of hype, but when we saw the specification sheet for the new Specialized Allez Elite 2018, we were truly impressed. For a bike priced at just under £1000, this bike features a full Shimano 105 groupset - a fact that, for most other bikes, would raise the pricing ceiling quite considerably. Intrigued by what we saw on paper, we decided to put this bike to the test, Sigma Style, so, we pumped up the tyres and checked the brakes, and set off for a 185km ride, from London to Somerset.

It's not all about kindling, lit campfires and stuffing all your clothing into bivvy bags. Adventure road bikes come in all shapes and sizes, and their versatility and comfort over rough terrain have now made them commonplace on both the road and the trail. So, whether you're looking to skip off-road on the way to work or go out for a day, weekend, or even a month long adventure, you'll find everything you need to know in our definitive guide.

Many have long dismissed Colnago as a brand for only those with sizeable bank balances and in some cases, up to now, that was the case. Colnago, eager to change this preconception, have created the C-RS to provide the customer with the same panache and prestige as found in their flagship C60, V1-R and Concept frames but at a more affordable price.

Go fast, stop fast. Over the years bike manufacturers have managed to create super quick machines that cut through the wind with ease, but up to now have struggled to fulfil the complete package of making a bike that stops as fast as it goes. Cervelo claims to have solved this dilemma with the S3 Disc. We joined the HotChillee ride captains on a spin down to Folkestone to see if this balance truly has been addressed.
