11spd: This week's best new bike gear

http://ift.tt/25Euufl

Another Friday, another familiar surge of hope as the end of the grind is – for most of us – in sight and, yes, another array of shiny things that have crossed BikeRadar's greasy palms. That's right, it must be 11spd.

This week our Sydney and Bristol teams bring you bright lights, potentially hideous mocha energy gels, rubbery helmet covers and a fancy-pants Ti gravel bike that we hope will return safely with its rider from this weekend's epic Dirty Kanza race.

Lupine Piko R4 SC

Building on the reputation of the Piko 4, Germany light company Lupine has upped the Piko’s original 1200 lumens to an impressive 1500 with the new Piko R 4 SC (Smartcore) while keeping the weight down to a feathery 55g.

The R4 SC also sports a completely redesigned housing but remains familiar for those already familiar with Lupine lights. Added Bluetooth functionality means the Piko can be controlled by both the new light control remote and smart phone application (available on both iOS and Android) allowing for easy customisation and power consumption monitoring.
