As the Tour de France makes it way through the stunning French countryside, and Cavendish has already taken the record 35th Stage Win, we take a look at some of the exciting new products that have landed with us over the past few days.
Cannondale Hollowgram R-SL50 Carbon Disc Road Wheelset
Looking to upgrade your best summer road bike with a set of carbon hoops? You won’t go much wrong with a set of these fantastic wheels from Cannondale. Featuring a 50mm deep rim that is tubeless compatible the wheels are ready for miles of riding. They not only look great, but will help with maintaining your speed and aerodynamics. Our own Julian has already bought a set and fitted them to his new Orro (pictured). Judging by the PB’s he has set so far on Strava, I think these wheels are a bargain!
Now owned by SRAM, Time Pedals are back with a bang and offering pedals for all riders. Providing lightweight and ergonomic pedal systems, Time Pedals are used by the Lidl-Trek team and riders such as Mads Pedersen at the Tour de France, as well as some of the top mountain bikers. Check out our full range of Time Pedals here.
Already proving to be really popular with our first delivery flying out the doors, STYRKR is a relatively new energy food company that ‘fuel the everyday athlete’. Personal favourites are the Mild Berry Gel50’s and the Apple & Cinnamon Energy Bars. Easy to eat and digest, these have been powering me through some bigger rides so far this year.
Ridley Helium SLX Disc – Lotto Soudal
Available whilst stocks last, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a Team Bike that’s not been raced. Also available as a frameset only if you want to build your own dream bike, we are offering a complete bike for £3,499 with a Shimano Di2 Groupset and deep section wheels.
Reverse Components – New Additions
A huge favourite amongst the staff here at Merlin, we’ve expanded our range of Reverse Components to now include some extra bling for your bike. Available in an array of colours, we have disc rotor bolts, top caps and spacers, as well as bigger items such as pedals, chain guides and handlebars. Resident rider Rob is currently testing some of the handlebars and Travel and Sag Indicator – watch this space for his review soon.
Cross is most definitely on a few people’s lips already here at Merlin Cycles, and we’re ensuring we’ve got everything you need for the start of cross season in a few weeks. Check out our full range of Challenge tyres covering everything from inner tube, tubeless and tubular, as well as latex tubes and rim cement here. #CrossIsComing
