This water resistant racing shoe proves its price for its all round comfort and function throughout the testing conditions of winter. While maintaining the essential aspects of any high performance racing shoe, the Nubes Winter Road Cycling Shoe provides that dry foot feeling we all crave when the weather is anything but. Sidi’s cleat alignment also helps when pairing your soon to be favourite shoes with pedals to ensure you’re comfortable from the off.

Our customers have already been loving this new thermal cap from Castelli. Known for their attention to functionality, Castelli have created their Dofesa Thermal Cap so that it fits snugly to the head with the appeal of a vintage road cycling cap . Their use of modern technological fabrics allows for the best heat retention on any ride during the winter months. Castelli’s incorporation of the wool-blend ear covers mean you’re sorted when it comes to facing the elements.
Garmin’s new rear light is a game changer when it comes to road cycling in winter. This compact device acts as your rear view mirror when on roads alerting you to cars from behind. The visual and audible alerts given on a paired Garmin device mean you’ve never been more aware of potential hazards around you on the road. It’s important to note that while acting as a radar, this Garmin has multiple modes as a rear light too, including a day, night and peloton setting.
New in to Merlin is Sram’s Power Meter Chainset. Connected to your Garmin, maintaining the race pace during the off-season has just been made easy. Unaffected by temperature changes, this power meter ensures accuracy throughout winter despite the cold. Sram’s success with this product has been justified even more with the carbon crankarm’s incredibly light and stiff qualities. This could well be your next step to staying disciplined throughout winter.
