 In a recent Slowtwitch poll a total of 29 votes were spread amongst Dugast, Schwalbe, Vredestein, Hutchinson, and Veloflex. Those are some really great tires! For some of you, your best possible choices.

Scott Tri Carbon Shoe (2012)

 Scott's got a footwear division, making both running and cycling shoes. I'm impressed with the quality of its work. Overall these shoes are good, but certain design features need some upgrading.

2XU V:2 Velocity

 I believe this suit every bit as fast as the TYR Hurricane. However, it's better for the right swimmer, and I'm not him. I'm slightly long in the torso, and this company's ideal morphology is average to leggy.

Lake TX312

 This is one hell of a shoe, created with passion for the sport, and it will definitely be my shoe for the coming season. Still, distribution and customer service will be this shoe company's challenge.

Aquaman ART

 If I was to pull a suit out for a leisurely open water workout with the posse, it’s very likely this is a suit I’d consider, because it’s so comfortable and easy to get on.

Fast Tires for 2012 – 2

 Veloflex is the silent killer, Schwalbe has the most potential for growth, and if youve never heard of FMB, they are the hot ticket when it comes to road cycling. Tire reviews Part 2.

TYR Hurricane 5

 This TYR Hurricane 5 has pluses and minuses, and usually the pluses cause the minuses. I swam in this suit, juxtaposing it with a De Soto T1 Concept 5. Here are the results.

blueseventy Helix (2012)

 Sit back in your easy chair and curl up with The Tale of Two Torsos, featuring slices and grafts down the chest, and the question of whether or not to sever arms. Sounds like Poe short story.

Andreas Böcherer Felt DA

 Andreas Böcherer will be very dangerous in Abu Dhabi and it is a bit surprising that his name has not been mentioned more often. We took a look at his Felt DA race bike.

Dirk Bockel Speed Concept

 Dirk Bockel has finished 3rd and 2nd in Abu Dhabi and maybe the 3rd time will be the charm. Today we take a look at his 2012 Team Leopard Trek Speed Concept.

Altra Instinct (2012)

 These shoes run great, but there's more to it. They felt so comfortable I started wearing them to my job in my running and triathlon store. I always get tired feet. But not in these.
