As Rebecca Black so famously proclaimed, "It's Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on Friday. Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend." Now to pass the time while you try to get that terrible song out of your head, why not take a gander at the new bits and bobs that have rolled through the door at BikeRadar.
On the tap this week our Queensland and Bristol teams have received some camo mountain bike shoes, a handmade, fully customisable merino road kit, and some neat luggage for action-cam aficionados (or bag obsessives).
New mountain bike gear
Northwave Extreme XC
Northwave's Extreme XC shoes sit firmly at the lairy end of the spectrum. Occupying the top spot in the brand's range of high performance off-road kicks, these get a 100% unidirectional carbon sole, unibody construction upper to minimize excess material and stitching to shed weight and toe studs.
To keep your foot securely planted in the shoe, Northwave has employed two of its SLW2 (Speed Lace Winch) dials and a Velcro strap across the toebox, and lined the heel with silver ‘cats tongue’ antislip thread. At first glance the SLW2s appear quite similar to Boa dials, but they trade the metal wire for a heat-treated wax nylon thread (technology borrowed from sailing) and a quick-release/microadjust button instead of knobs that turn both ways.
Northwave has also partnered with Michelin to design an extra grippy compound for the lugs, and thermo-welded addtional protection to the front and sides of the shoe to prevent the upper tearing.
