Fizik Vento Stabilita Carbon Road Shoes

£374.99

This is a racing shoe that prioritises foot stability with its fully adjustable plantar support system, the Dynamic Arch Support 2.0, to adapt to the individual’s foot shape for maximising performance. This is because when the plantar fascia is properly supported, the medial arch stiffens, allowing for efficient power transfer Fizik explains.

dhb Aeron Rain Defence Leg Warmers

£36

Redeveloped over two years, dhb’s Aeron Rain Defence collection protects against the rain and road spray. Using bluesign approved fabrics, the leg warmers are a versatile bit of kit in this range. Fewer seams are used for greater comfort and silicone backed elasticated grippers should keep the warmers in place.
