Felt B12 (2011)

 Like the resuscitated Dodge Challengers and Chargers, and Ford's Mustang, the mid-price, $3500 Felt B12 is reminiscent of muscle cars of the 1970s. It's all go and no show (well, there's a little bit of show).

QR Seduza (2011)

 Quintana Roo's Seduza remains a potent buy for 2011, maybe even more so as other manufacturers set their attention to tri bikes higher in price. But are the geometric changes for 2011 a plus?

Specialized Transition Pro (2011)

 This bike is further evidence that the most hotly contested price category in tri bike land is the $3300 to $3700 range. The big boys—Trek, Cervelo, Felt, Cannondale, Scott—have gone all-in here. How does the Transition Comp fair?

Cannondale Slice 3 (2011)

 The industry has chosen pitched battle at a price range between $3300 and $3700. The Slice 3 sits right in the middle, and it holds its own admirably. Plasmas, Transitions, Speed Concepts, this is your worthy competitor.

Scott Plasma 20 (2011)

 The Plasma 2 frame was unobtainable during 2010 for a price below $5000. For 2011, this high quality frameset can be had in a bike selling complete, with a very nice gruppo, for $3300. Today we take a look at that bike.

Trek Speed Concept 7.5 (2011)

 Trek has finally come out to play in the sport of triathlon. They engage in every price range with a bike that's imaginative and well conceived. The Speed Concept 7.5 is a strong entry in the mid-$3000 category.

Felt’s 2011 DA white paper

 It used to be that a brochure was enough. Not any more. A superbike without a white paper just doesn't seem that super. Here's the authoritative guide on the 2011 DA.

Felt’s 2011 DA

 It's been just 3.5 years since Felt remade its tri line-up, top to bottom. But you can't stand pat these days. Here's Felt's new mold, the DA for 2011. Felt's stab at a superbike hits its mark.

The Bontrager RXL Hilo

 This triathlon cycling shoe has the best breathability of all shoes I’ve so far tested. The large amount of mesh used in the upper of the shoe makes this like riding with the air conditioning on full volume.

Mating feet to shoes

 We're talking running footwear against the backdrop of an article in today's NYT that either misunderstands, or faithfully represents a misunderstanding, of how feet are best mated to running shoes.

Bont Sub-10

 Bont's moldable, monocoque cycling shoes bring something new to the tri shoe category: a shoe so form fitting the single-strap closure method isn't the liability it once was.

Northwave Tribute

 The Tribute is an update on the Tribal: a tri-specific cycling shoe with an extremely soft Lorica upper. Don't expect the same fit, feel and features: the shoe is an improvement, or not, depending on you.
