Gear of the year: Colin Levitch's 2016 roadie picks

http://ift.tt/2i8LVil

Where has this year gone? It’s hard to believe another 2016 is coming to an end, and with it, a heap of miles ridden, new roads and trails explored and plenty of gear tested.

There isn’t a lot of genuinely bad gear nowadays, but with everything at a high level, it’s becoming harder for products to go off the front so to speak. Some things, however, even once the review is written I'll continue to use even sometimes when I should have moved onto the next product.

My top picks may not be the shiniest, newest, most-expensive or exciting bits of kit. Instead, they’re the one’s I keep coming back to, have purchased myself and would advise BikeRadar readers to spend their money on.

Fuji SL

Fuji’s SL 1.5 isn’t particularly aero, nor does it have disc brakes, fancy mechanical pivots or built-in suspension. Despite this, it was one of the most fun bikes I rode all year!

Not only is it lightweight at 6.4kg, it’s stiff, playful and takes off like a rocket when you hit the gas. Even better, considering the quality of the frame and components, it won’t empty your bank account the way other bikes of this calibre will.
