It’s Friday, and officially autumn – which means it’s time for BikeRadar's US staff to get stuck into some pumpkin pie, pumpkin beer, pumpkin bread of the best weekend riding of the year. Get out there and enjoy the cool mornings and crisp air before winter truly arrives - but not before taking a gander of some of the freshest new gear to land at our Colorado office.
New mountain bike gear
Bontrager OMW winter shoes
The winter cycling shoe wars are heating up! Okay, pardon the pun but Bontrager is the latest company to jump into the cold-weather cycling footwear ring with the new Old Man Winter (OMW). Bontrager uses a two-piece design for the OMW shoes with an inner fleece-lined Thinsulate bootie and a high-top waterproof outer shell – not unlike how many snowboard boots are built, in fact.

Compared with Bontrager’s standard cycling shoes, the OMW’s winter-specific inForm Tundra footbed leaves more room in the toebox to allow for better blood circulation in your toes. Outside are two Velcro straps to help lock your heels in place plus a full ‘Tachyon’ rubber outsole for grip on ice and snow.
Other neat details include a ‘sharkskin’ texture on the heel of the inner bootie to keep it from slipping, anchor points on the front for gaiters, waterproof zippers, and an Outdry upper cuff to keep snow from seeping down into your socks.
Actual weight is a very reasonable 1,205g (pair, size 43).
