That time of year has come around yet again, where we highlight the best gear we've tested throughout 2023. Here, you'll find the kit that we've liked so much that we'll even spend our own money on it. Check it out buff.ly/3v1UQvu
Big things in the horizon!
Fresh start! Super happy to join the people at @off_roadcc @roadcc where I’ll be leading the off-road.cc team as editor. Some exciting things to come. Can’t wait to get the ball rolling 💪🏻

Helmets are good things but should never feel heavy or cumbersome - the POC Ventral Lite gives riders the option of going super-light with this stripped-down-yet-still-comprehensively-protective lid.

The grandaddy of power meter reliability goes the off-road route - finally. Say hello to the SRM X-Powers. Have already done a power accuracy benchmarking test (5, 10 and 20-minute power) on the smart trainer and they’re within 1% of the Direto XR.

In my top picks of 2020, I round up some of the gear items that made an impression on me this year. Despite the COVID outbreak, the cycling industry did well to get out as much product items to the media and general public as they did. A great year for the humble bicycle.

Is there really a need for indoor-specific cycling clobber? Seems there is, especially after testing it in a number of high-intensity sessions including the ZRL and WTRL TTT. The benefits? A cooler core, lower heart rate and less sweat

Say what you want. We’re in the final and that’s all that matters. One of the top two ranked rugby nations will walk away with their fourth World Cup come Saturday. Bring it on.
The behaviour of certain media towards Mbonambi today has been scandalous
I was at the game. The English crowd was mega. I could barely concentrate & can only imagine how the chanting affected the Boks. Eng put us on the back foot for 60min with high ball tactics and failed to convert try-scoring opportunities. Our discipline won us the game. The end
South Africa has had to overcome many hurdles set up by the past, one of which is racism. It’s still rife but not in our team. The Springboks personify the unity and legacy that Nelson Mandela envisaged decades ago. They are brothers. No way Bongi said that. It’s out of context.
What the international press and certain players are doing with #kantgate, is fanning a smouldering flame hoping it ignites and incinerates the Springbok brotherhood. But it won’t as we, as a nation, know how to overcome adversity. If anything, this has fuelled our hunger to win.
If it’s one thing the Rugby World Cup has done for South Africa, it’s unite our country - even if only for a little while. Others have no idea what’s it like for the average South African. It’s tough but we know how to overcome. We’re bonded through the struggles of our past.
And come Saturday we will field our best team and attempt to make history playing an All Black team we respect and appreciate. And the feeling between the two teams are mutual. The two best teams in the world made it to the final. End of story.
Honoured to represent my country next year! @GoZwift cyclingsa.com/cycling-sa-ann…
