specialized 2017

Superb ventilation, sweat management, comfort all wrapped up in lower profile shell makes the Prevail II a top pick

High performance, great comfort and supportive fit make the new Torch 3.0 shoes a good pick

A very well made saddle that balances good looks, weight and comfort, though maybe just a tiny bit more padding would be nice

A very good, easy to adjust helmet whose light weight and aerodynamics might make all the difference on race day

Stiff and efficient yet comfortable off-road shoes that cross over to be viable for the road too

A very good rugged and highly weatherproof bag with some nice details, but some might find knee clearance issues

Commendable performance, and a great paint job, but better wheels would make it shine

Awesome speed machine for the racer on a budget and anyone else who likes to go fast

Over-weight, over-geared and not really wanting to go over there

Light, stiff and comfortable, the new Roubaix with its FutureShock delivers an impressive ride
