The Fitzroy is the new medium sized, non-expandable backpack from Mission Workshop. It’s a larger version of their Sanction backpack and features more organization, iPad and U-Lock pockets, an expanded gusset on the outside to double the volume and an inside zipper pocket that can fit a 17″ Macbook. It will retail for $219.

Mark from Giro shows us the 2012 Aeon road helmet. Imagine a helmet that gives you an advantage every time the road climbs or the heat turns up. Until now, you couldn’t get the benefits of lighter weight and better ventilation in a single helmet. But the new Aeon weighs only 222g in a CPSC approved size Medium. Yet it also provides cooling power equivalent to the most ventilated helmet ever made, the Ionos™. Plus it offers the luxurious feel of Roc Loc® 5, and an innovative thermoformed Roll Cage reinforcement. If you’re looking for the best balance of weight, ventilation and comfort, this is the new standard.
Mark from Giro shows us two new shoes that have been added to the Giro Shoe Lineup for 2012.
James Curleigh, the cheif product tester at Keen, shows us the latest updates to the Keen lineup for 2012. And yes, they’re still living the hybrid life up there in Portland, Oregon AND they’re bringing recess back!
The Kéo Power permits very accurate measurement of the power and cadence. Each axle is equipped with 8 strain gauges permitting very accurate measurement of the axle deflection and so of the forces applied to it.
The observed measurement deviations, whatever the value of the force and its point of application, are less than 2%.
Keo Power from Polar and Look will be available in January, 2012.
The best shoes on the planet just got better, for Speedplay pedal users. For 2012, SIDI introduces the all-new SP Carbon Sole®, dedicated to Speedplay’s 4-bolt cleat mounting system, giving Speedplay users better power transfer, more efficiency and comfort than any shoe available.
Speedplay’s pedal system—which was used to sweep the podium at this year’s Tour de France—provides the best stack height available, with the lowest sole-to-spindle measurement. But Speedplays were designed for a now-defunct 4-bolt drilling pattern. In a world of 3-bolt shoes, Speedplay users are forced to employ an adapter, which reduces the system’s stack height advantage and considerably complicates cleat setup. Not anymore.
Just for the ladies, Oakley is coming out with a new addition to their ever popular Radar range. Named the Radar Edge, these should be in full production for a spring 2012 release. The Edge has a smaller shape, new lense shape, and the arms do not bowl out as much as the original Radars. More info to come…
Mavic has got you covered when it comes to wheels, tires, shoes, apparel, and now even helmets with their three new helmets. Shown here is the Plasma SLR, the top of the range helmet weighing in at a respectable 220grams.
More photos and info shortly.
