Caffeine might be all that is holding you together right now but fear not, Friday is once again upon us. Before you slip into your weekend be sure to check out all of the latest bikes and gear to arrive with BikeRadar this week. It's all below.

New road cycling gear

First introduced to us back in 2013, the Jet sunglasses from Recon manage to pack a ludicrous amount of tech into their plastic frame – namely GPS, WiFi, ANT+ and Bluetooth 4.0 compatibility, several accelerometers, a gyroscope, a magnetometer, a front-facing HD camera, a microphone, speakers, an altimeter, a barometer, a thermometer, an optical track pad and a micro-USB rechargeable Li-polymer battery.

What the Jet sunglasses aim to offer is a wealth of ride data and information directly front of a rider's eyes, quite literally. A head up display visible through the right hand lens of the glasses feeds data from a long list of compatible devices. So, whether you want turn by turn maps, stats on your ride or even to read that text you’ve just received, it’s all just a glance away.

Whether these sell well or not, they’re no doubt an indication of things to come. We’ll be filing a full review once we’ve got some miles in with these so stay tuned for more.

US$699/£579
