Five cool products coming soon to road.cc

Our reviewers have had another busy week riding, data-recording, bike-commuting and getting dirty while testing some of the latest gear. Here are five things we’ll be giving our verdict on soon…
 

Powertap P1S single-sided power meter pedals

£550

We were impressed by Powertap’s original power pedals last year, and now they’ve released a more affordable singe-sided version. The P1’s can easily be swapped between bikes with minimal faff or set-up required, and to give you a power reading it just takes the value of power from one leg and doubles the figure. Our reviewer John Stevenson will be checking for accuracy and ease of use amongst other considerations in his review soon…

Shimano XC7-SPD MTB shoes 

£169.99

Shimano have teamed up with Michelin to create the sole of these MTB shoes, which combines dual-density rubber and a strategic lug placement pattern for increased grip without compromising pedal efficiency. The midsole is lightweight carbon and the upper is synthetic leather with perforated venting, while a Boa dial holds your feet in securely.
Dave Atkinson is currently putting some miles into the XC7’s, and his verdict will be here and on our sister site off-road.cc soon.

Carradice Ryal City Classics rucksack

£99.00

This understated yet classy bag from Carradice is made from a cotton canvas, with tough leather straps and stainless steel buckles to increase its longevity. The lining is waterproof and it’s got internal pockets to keep your essentials safe. A zipped outer pocket pouch and diameters of 32cmW x 17cmD x 46cmH make this a roomy bag for commuting, but is it practical in all aspects? Our review is coming soon…

Chapeau! Etape Jersey

£99.99

Chapeau! claim their Etape jersey is “like a second skin”, designed to wick away moisture and keep you cool in warm weather. It has three full-sized pockets and is available in black or bolue colours, The minimalistic design with just a small logo and contrast arm grippers will strike a chord with the modest and the stealthy alike. We’ll be judging the performance and totting up style points for our final verdict soon.
