Dual BOA dials, a mud-shedding sole and with an OCLV midsole for out of this world stiffness, if you only exist to compete bar to bar, this is your shoe. $649.99 trekbikes.com/au/en_AU/

ABSOLUTEBLACK CINCH PVD OVAL RAINBOW CHAINRINGS

AbsoluteBlack have brought their Rainbow PVD coating and oval shape to RaceFace Cinch direct mount standards. The PVD coating is said to dramatically increase the life of the chainring, while the oval shape may remove dead spots from your pedal stroke. These are for Boost spacing only, but come in 26-36T sizes in two tooth increments.

KOGEL KOLOSSOS FOR SRAM EAGLE

Do you find your current SRAM Eagle rear derailleur a bit standard? Well, Kogel have got what you need. They now offer their Kolossos oversized jockey wheel and cage combo to suit SRAM Eagle and Eagle AXS, and they come in a discrete black, or gold or red if that’s your style. These work for SRAM mechanical Eagle derailleurs down to GX, or AXS if you’re that fancy.

The cage is super stiff, and the 19t and 14t jockey wheels are said to reduce friction in the drivetrain, while also running a far longer service life. While they look big, they only reduce ground clearance by 2mm!
