EDITOR'S PICKS
Hand-picked this week
Princeton Peak 4550 Evolution first look — 420g rims, £3,699 in the UK
Princeton CarbonWorks' new Peak 4550 Evolution lands in the UK at around £3,699 via Ison Distribution. The headline numbers are a 420g rim weight, a hooked tubeless-ready hole-less tyre bed, Sapim CX-Ray spokes, and a hub menu that puts the wheelset between 1275g and 1480g. Worth the money, or a £3,699 rounding error?
Favero Assioma PRO RL-2 first look: a £649 power pedal that bullies Garmin on price
Favero's first Look Kéo-compatible power pedal lands in March 2026 with the same 130g spindle as the Pro RS, 160 hours of battery life, and a UK price of £649 — £320 less than the Garmin Rally RK200 and £200 less than the Wahoo POWRLINK Zero. The numbers do not flatter the competition.
SIDI Shot 3 2026 first look: a £444 statement of intent
SIDI's flagship Shot 3 lands for spring/summer 2026 at £443.90 with a new R1FC carbon sole, the NUUN 001C aero dials, and the Millennium Fit last. After a quiet stretch, the Italian brand looks serious again — but is it serious enough to take on Shimano and Specialized at the top of the price ladder?
