Topeak Ninja CO2.jpgFive cool products coming soon to road.cc from Topeak, Cygolite, Tannus, Deuter and Deda
After a fortnight of previewing products we want to have a meddle with from the annual Eurobike extravaganza, we're back to showing you some sneak previews of what we have in our hands/on our feet/on the road etc etc right now, with full reviews coming soon...
£39.99
Topeak have become somewhat renowned for putting things in places you might not expect in recent years (insert innuendo here), and often with plenty of success according to our reviewers. The Ninja is another unconventional idea that in theory could work a treat, with space for two Co2's and tyre levers (included) underneath a bottle cage. The cage itself is engineering-grade plastic and the full package weighs 229g. Does the formation work on the road? Neil Gander's verdict is coming soon...
Deda Elementi Zero2 Alloy Team
£539.99
This affordable clincher wheelset from Italian brand Deda is made from light aluminium, with a new wider rim profile to provide more support for the tyre and better stability and handling. The rear hub has a 2:1 pattern spoke design to improve the lateral stiffness, and as a set they weigh in at 1550g.
Tannus Aither 1.1 airless tyre
£49.99
We previewed them when they were announced earlier this year, and for the last month we've been testing one of the first sets of Tannus' new and improved solid road tyre to arrive in the UK. The Aither 1.1 is available in 23, 25 and 28mm (our test set are 25's), and Tannus promise it's "the most modern solid tyre in the world", with an equivalent hardness of 105psi compared to an inflated tyre and better rolling resistance (15% less) than their previous version. They're made from a polymer resin using a foaming technology to keep the weight down, and you can get them in an array of crazy colours. Is the Aither 1.1 really the golden ticket, a puncture-proof tyre that is also super smooth and fast? Our verdict is coming soon.
£69.99
This bag will "bring an end to bulging jersey pockets" according to Deuter, as it's is specifically engineered for road cycling. It's got a narrow v-shaped cut so you can still access your back jersey pockets, and an integrated, neon-yellow detachable rain cover. An attachment option for shades is placed on the shoulder straps, and there's reflective detailing plus an attachment loop for a safety light. Is it worth breaking the unofficial road cyclists' code of jersey pockets or nowt for the handy extra storage offered by the Road One? Our reviewer Stu Kerton is currently finding out...
£99.95
This compact yet powerful light pumps out 850 lumens on full beam, and has light six settings all together with the potential to last up to 4 hours in steady pulse mode. It's also got side illumination for extra safety, a rechargeable USB Li-ion and it's highly water resistant. It weighs 165g and takes 2.5 hours to get a full charge. Has it lit up Mat Brett's life? His verdict will be in shortly...

Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.
That is utterly horrific. The tail bar must have cleared your leg by scant millimetres. Not even an attempt to slow down from the driver, let alone...
Wheels have average speeds now?...
"Extenuating Circumstances" - of course there can be, but you'd better be prepared to argue them in court. In my experience the main extenuating...
The Police around my way solved the problem of car parking in the 70cm reserved cycling gutter, at least for the day of one special event, by...
They love putting various road works signs on the cycle lane over Caversham Bridge. Mostly for things that don't really relate to the cyclists.
Had a look round an S5 at a local bike shop. It is a fabulous looking bike, but needs a modest lottery win at £12k! ...
I use unconventional mixtures of road and MTB equipment on my road bikes because the big brand groupsets don't recognise that avoiding traffic...
As it's a parallel crossing, the driver does of course have exactly the same obligation. Though I think perhaps you are being ironic. HWC195.
I won a set of the Aces in a BC competition a few years ago (before I moved to Cycling UK). Used them a couple of times before giving up for above...
Yes I missed the daylight saving. Hope I didn't advantage anyone. Had to disappear well before race start so I didn't pick it up. All times were...
