Congratulations — you have made it through another week. We're here to help you celebrate with not 10 but 11 of the best new products. This week we have six road and five mountain bike bits. Here's to the weekend!

New road gear

These are the shoes Chris Froome used to secure his second Tour de France victory. Sidi’s Wire Carbon Air Vernice shoes cram in all the technology and expertise of the Italian firm, which has been producing cycling shoes since the 1970s.

Sidi’s Techno-3 dial ratchet system offers precise wire-closure fitting. Each dial has a grippy lever that pops up at a jab of the central button. There are also two easy-access buttons next to each dial. Press one to release one click’s worth of tension in the wire; hold both to release and pull the shoe off.

Sidi’s rigid heel cup is enhanced by adjustable arms. The upper is perforated for plenty of ventilation while the sole’s air channels add to the cooling effect. The carbon sole is designed for maximum stiffness where needed, but allows a bit of flex in the toes.
