After nearly four years of development, Orbea onSunday released the new Ordu time trial/triathlon bike in Denver. Besidessubstantial gains in aerodynamics over the old Ordu, the new Ordu frames offerhuge adjustability in fit. Also, one model comes with Shimano’s brand newelectric Ultegra Di2 time trial/triathlon wiring system.

One unique feature of the frame is the integratedMonolink stem, which pivots at the steerer tube for 140 degrees of verticaladjustment. Further, each frame ships with four stem lengths (75, 95, 110 and120mm) to dial in handlebar position without a single spacer.

“It’s super clean,” said Orbea USA’s managingdirector Tony Karklins. “There are no spacers, no shims. You don’t have to useany specific handlebars. For a bike fitter, it’s a dream.”

The bike comes in four frame sizes, the smallestof which is a 650c bike. “We’re calling that one a 48cm frame, but it’s muchsmaller than a 700c 48cm bike,” Karklins said.

The bike comes in five models, including the$5,499 GLi2 with the new Shimano Ultegra Di2 time trial/triathlon drivetrain.“We expect this one to be huge,” Karklins said. “With the new Di2 wiring at thenew Ultegra price point, this is going to change the game. Now you can haveelectric time trial and triathlon bikes at a completely new price point.”

The other bikes include the $4.499 Ordu GLT withmechanical Ultegra, the $5,999 Ordu GRD with SRAM Red, the $6,499 Ordu GDR with11-speed Shimano Dura-Ace and, by spring, the GDi2 with 11-speed Dura-Ace Di2.

The integrated Monolink stems feature 140 degrees of vertical adjustment

While many companies have chosen to tuck thefront brake of their TT/tri bikes behind or inside the fork, Orbea stuck with astandard caliper. This move wasn’t out of laziness, however, but theirwind-tunnel work.

“We choose not to go internal on the brakecaliper on the fork, because as we were doing work to put the caliper inside,the fork kept getting less and less aerodynamic,” Karklins said. “Also, thereare lots of great aero calipers out there from Magura, Tetkro and others. Andat the same time, we know the disc brake train is coming for triathlon/TTbikes.”

Each Ordu ships with two tops caps for organizing internal cable routing: one for mechanical systems and one for electric drivetrains

Karklins said that although the bike made hugegains in aerodynamic drag over the previous Ordu, “we still took time to makesure the bike rides the way you want it to ride.”

“You can make some tubes a little too thin, and whileit may look fast, it can compromiseride quality,” Karklins said.

Matching the stem, the Ordu has a Monolinkseatpost, which comes with two kits: one for Monolink single-rail saddle andone for standard dual-rail saddles.

Also, the Ordu is selling with the popular ISMergonomic saddle for the first time.

The bikes will begin shipping in October.

KS adds a new bargain priced dropper seatpost, called the eTen, for 2013. Total travel is set at 100mm and it will be offered in both manual and remote versions. Costs range from US$150 to $US175 (James Huang/Future Publishing)

Mountain bikers looking for the technical advantages of a dropper postwithout the price tag of one of the higher-end options now have a budget option from KS.

The new eTen seatpost offers 100mm ofdrop via air sprung and hydraulically locked internals similar to the company'sflagship LEV seatposts.

However, whereas the LEV has its guts built directly into the aluminumstanchion, the eTen uses a separate sealed steel cartridge for easiermanufacturing. Also, the eTen uses a more basic microadjustable single-boltseatpost head, as opposed to the LEV's twin-bolt setup.

Not surprisingly, the eTen is also quite a bit heavier at 643-723gdepending on size. But on the upside it's also quite inexpensive. The cableactuated remote version is just US$175, while the manual variant is cheaperstill at only US$150.

The KS LEV continues to be an appealing option for 2013

Devinci Dixon RC review

2012-08-28T15:12:00.003-07:00

The impeccably engineered French Canadian builders Devinci have created a superb mix of state-of-the-art hard-riding balance and bombproof long-term strength with their Dixon aggro trail bike.

Ride & handling: Super strong on the trails, if heavy on the climbs

Haven supply a shock-volume reducing shim with the bike, which allows you to create a more progressive spring rate by unscrewing the air can and clipping the shim onto the damper shaft.

The spacer addition isn’t a cut and dried choice. Full volume means more bounce and occasional wallow when you get caught deep in the stroke, but bottom-out is never harsh. The bike swallows square-edged slaps like sweets, and more sag means a lower centre of gravity for extra stability.

Adding the shim definitely gives a firmer feel through your feet if you’re pushing hard through berms, but it’s more abrupt off big stuff. It still manages to drive forward through rock heaps and step downs as though it’s self-pumping.

Whether you stay with the stock XV air can or stick the shim in to make knocking the travel indicator less likely, the initial travel is remarkably smooth. Part of this is due to the plush initial stroke of the Split Pivot design. The smooth and easy-free movement of the perfectly aligned bearings (very noticeable if you take the shock out) makes a massive difference, letting the bike glide over small rocks, stutter bumps or roots without skipping a beat or losing traction.

Add the impressive braking and pedal stroke isolation plus decent ground clearance and the Dixon delivers unerring propulsion whatever’s underneath your wheels. That easy initial movement means you’ll be glad of the shock firming ProPedal lever when you’re grunting up a long, smooth climb though.

The extra beef also makes it less playful to hop and flick about at lower speeds. Get some momentum behind you and the surefooted ground connection and beautifully balanced handling is inspiring. The cockpit dimensions are just right, and while the mid-height BB means it’s not an absolute cornering scythe, it’s clearance means you can get on the power earlier.

Add in that fluid suspension and it also means you can drive it low through rooty, rocky or rutted ‘natural’ corners without pole vaulting off a stubbed pedal. Even on groomed trail centres you can still leave the brakes off, lean in hard and look for the exit very aggressively – as far as the Kendas let you, in fact.

Having done several runs with our test Fox 34 fork in place of the 32s, we can also confirm it’s more than stiff enough to team up with a tougher fork. You really don’t want to raise the bottom bracket much higher than it is, though.

Frame & equipment: Functional but heavy

Devinci have stayed resolutely homegrown. No containers of Far Eastern bikes unboxed, stickered up and bolted together for this company – they go for billet alloy and raw tube stock going in, and finished bikes rolling out the other end, giving them total quality control.

The Optimum G04 tubeset is triple butted and pressure-formed into curved, box and convex-sided rhomboid tubing to match the loads in each frame section. Convex rectangular section rear stays get cleanly machined, open-ended terminals and an asymmetric junction behind the relatively high main pivot.

The bearing seats in the mainframe, the rear pivot and the rocker linkage are all final-stage machined once the frame’s been heat treated and assembled. It’s more awkward than machining each piece before putting it together and hoping it stays straight during welding and age hardening, but it means the tolerances in bearing alignment are far more accurate than on most bikes. This translates into a noticeably smooth and easy suspension movement, plus better bearing and shock bushing life.

Switchable ‘Full Response Geometry’ chucks for the rocker link pivots let you slacken the head and seat angle half a degree and drop bottom bracket and standover height 7mm.

Devinci have hooked up with renowned suspension engineer Dave Weagle to use his Split Pivot design. This joins the chainstay and seatstays at a concentric pivot around the outside of the 142x12mm bolt-thru rear axle. A rocker link then drives the vertically mounted Fox RP2 shock.

There are chainguide mounts around the BB and mounts for a remote hose/cable for a dropper post under the top tube. There’s a bottle cage mount on the down tube and the rear brake is post-mount-style for easy alignment.

Tyre clearance is adequate for a 2.35in tyre in filthy weather or a 2.4in in the dry. It’s not the lightest frame in the 145mm category at 3.17kg (7lb) with shock, but the lifetime warranty shows Devinci are confident they’re more than strong enough. One niggle is the noise from the guide-free gear cable as it clatters around inside the chainstay.

While everything works fine, the frame quality and Canadian origin mean component levels on the complete Dixon RC are par with a mainstream bike several hundred pounds cheaper. The hefty frame and bombproof wheels also mean a chunky overall weight, although adding £250 worth of RockShox Reverb dropper post and a titanium seat collar for £205 is still tempting. It would add another pound or so, but allow you to easily get more from the bike.

There was a definite divide between testers on whether they preferred the shock spaced or full volume with slightly higher pressure, but everyone agreed on the Dixon’s awesome overall balance and performance. If you don’t mind a bit of effort on the climbs to give yourself a big advantage in terms of traction and control on the descents – plus superb hand-built strength – then the Dixon really has to be on your shortlist.

Shimano Ultegra compact chainset review

2012-08-28T15:12:00.001-07:00

4 out of 5 stars

"Very similar performance to top-of-the-line Dura-Ace, though pedal threads are on the loose side"

Tue 28 Aug 2012, 12:00 pm BSTBy Cycling PlusThis is similar in style to the top-end Dura-Ace, and though there are performance and weight differences, it’s hardly detectable out on the road. Shifting isn’t quite as smooth or quick, but other than that there’s little between them – why pay the extra £200, you might ask.

Well, the pedal threads on the cranks were slightly oversized – several pedals showed a slight wobble in the thread just before final tightening – and though this isn’t a huge problem short term, we’d question their long-term life if you swap pedals a lot.

Considering the price and performance, though, it’s hard to find anything better.

Frankly, no we can't and we know you guys can't either. So as the vast show in southern Germany was hurridly assembled around us, we took a quick look at what's in store this year.

With many of the product managers down the road at the demo day, there was little in the way of information to be garnered, but we hope the gallery opposite will satisfy your hunger before the news starts flowing in tomorrow.

New for 2013 from Continental is a tubular version of the rear and front-specific Force and Attack - simply called Force Comp and Attack Comp. Like the clincher versions, the tubulars feature a 22mm-wide casing up front but a more generous 24mm-wide rear casing for claimed better handling, lower rolling resistance and improved wear as compared to matched 23mm tires (James Huang/Future Publishing)

Some of the first products BikeRadar saw at the Eurobike 2012 Demo Day were the new road, mountain and cyclocross tires from Continental. Here's what we found.

Lighter and tougher road models

Continental's successful Attack and Force clincher tires will be joined in 2013 by a set of tubulars with similar front- and rear-specific designs, called Attack Comp and Force Comp.

Just as with the tube-type version, the new tubulars feature a 22mm width up front and a more generous 24mm out back. Continental says this provides better handling, more efficient power transfer, decreased rolling resistance and better wear.

Both tires are built with the company's outstanding Black Chili rubber compounds and are reinforced with Vectran breaker belts. Claimed weight is 500g for the matched tubular set.

On the clincher side there's a new Grand Prix GT, which offers a smoother ride with its sole 700x25mm size option. It also boasts enhanced puncture protection with three layers of bead-to-bead belting.

The Continental Grand Prix GT road tire, new for 2013

The original Attack and Force clinchers remain largely the same for 2013 but lose about 20g for the pair through revised tread shaping.

New MTB treads for racing

Continental also debuted a radical Speed King tire that's solely aimed for racing on hardpacked (or paved) conditions. The new semi-slick is said to produce 18 percent less rolling resistance than the already-fast Race King, while the modest shoulder knobs and (very) subtle center tread still supposedly provide reasonable grip at appropriately low air pressures.

Despite the barely-there tread, Continental product manager Christian Wurmbäck claims the Speed King will still last most riders about 1,500km. Claimed weight is just 430g in the lone 26x2.2in size.

Downhillers, on the other hand, will get the new Der Kaiser Rammstein Projekt (US$84.95) with pared-down center knobs for reduced rolling resistance but the same trapezoidal-shaped shoulder knobs as the standard Der Kaiser for tenacious and progressive cornering grip.

The new Der Kaiser Rammstein Projekt

Additionally, two-ply construction and a new Apex sidewall reinforcement ward off flats while also lending extra casing support under high load. Claimed weight is 1,150g.

Elsewhere in the MTB sector it's mostly a story of expanded size ranges. For example, the Mountain King and X-King will now both come in a giant 29x2.4in to address the growing 29er trail bike market.

Meanwhile, the Race King will be offered in new 29x2.2in Sport, 29x2.0in RaceSport and 26x2.0in RaceSport variants.

And yes, Continental will offer 27.5in mountain bike tires, but for now only in the X-King tread and 2.2in and 2.4in widths. Both are built on the ProTection Revolution tubeless ready casing and with Black Chili rubber.

Conti debuts production of cyclocross tubulars

We've been playing with prototype Continental cyclocross tubulars for more than three seasons now but the German company is finally ready to launch production versions. They will be using their own casings (previous ones were made by Challenge) and new tread designs adapted from the Continental mountain bike range.

At least for now, the new CycloXKing (US$124.95, UK pricing TBC) will be the sole tubular offering with a 700x32mm, 180tpi casing and a fast rolling, versatile tread derived from the mountain bike X-King.

The CycloXKing tubular tyre

Most importantly, Continental will build the tread using its Black Chili compound. We expect it to provide similarly impressive levels of grip, speed, and durability as on other so-equipped tires. In fact, Continental specifically claims 30 percent more grip, 26 percent less rolling resistance, and five percent better wear than standard activated silica treads. Claimed weight is 390g and tires should be in stores by the end of September.

A corresponding clincher version – simply called CycloXKing – will be available in both 32mm and 35mm-wide sizes with claimed weights ranging from 320-450g. Suggested retail price is US$54.95 (UK pricing TBC).

Muddy courses will instead call for the new Mountain King CX, built with a tube-type clincher casing but a more aggressive and open tread designed to cut through the slop into the firmer ground underneath.

As with the CycloXKing, the Mountain King CX will be available only in a 32mm width. Claimed weight is 320g.

Vuelta a España 8: Valverde topples Contador

Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) won stage 8 of the Vuelta a España atop the Collada de la Gallina in Andorra, snatching away what looked to be a sure victory for Alberto Contador (Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank). Race leader Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha) finished second, as he and Valverde passed Contador within sight of the finish line. Sky's Chris Froome was unable to keep up in the last few hundred meters, finishing 15 seconds down.

Rodriguez maintained his overall lead, followed by Froome and Contador. Valverde moved up to fourth while Robert Gesink of Rabobank dropped to fifth.

The finale proved to be an exchange of blows by the top four riders, as they charged up the final climb. Froome did much of the early pace-making, as the three Spaniards were happy to let him do the bulk of the work. The Englishman attacked out of a curve inside the final kilometer, but Contador countered it with an explosive acceleration of his own. It looked as if he was going to take a comfortable win, but when he looked back with less than 100 meters to go, he saw his two countrymen rapidly approaching. They were both able to whip around him in the final meters.

Froome was the loser of the day, which seems an odd thing to say for a rider who is still in second place, but he saw his deficit to Rodriguez extend from 10 seconds to 33 seconds. More importantly, he was unable to respond when Contador attacked at the end, and could only watch the other two Spaniards take off to claim the two top spots on the day.

There were other changes in the top ten, as defending Vuelta champion Juan José Cobo (Movistar) and Sergio Henao (Sky) dropped out and Laurens Ten Dam (Rabobank) and Euskaltel's Igor Anton moved up. Rabobank now has three riders in the top ten.

An uphill day

One rider was missing at the start, as Yoann Bagot of Cofidis was out with a broken elbow. The pace was rapid from the moment the flag was dropped, as attack after attack looked to move clear of the peloton, but neither Sky nor Katusha was satisified with the make-up of the early breakaway attempts. Accordingly, the peloton covered over 52 kilometres in the first hour of racing, and a successful breakaway group didn’t stabilise until the 75km mark.

Mickael Buffaz (Cofidis), Amael Moinard (BMC), Javier Ramirez (Andalucia), Cameron Meyer (Orica-GreenEdge), Martijn Keizer (Vacansoleil), and Javier Aramendia (Caja Rural) formed the sextet which quickly built up a lead of 9:26. That was enough for Teams Sky and Katusha, who jumped to the front and picked up the speed, slowly bringing the gap down.

With 40km left on the stage, the peloton crossed the border into Andorra, by which point the field had reduced the gap to seven minutes.

Soon the first ranked climb of the day loomed, the Alto de la Comella. A category two, it featured fairly light gradients. On the ascent, Moinard kicked things up a notch, and Keizer and Aramendia fell back from the lead group.

Ramirez led Meyer and Moinard over the top, but the field had climbed up to only 2:34 down. Moinard then pulled away on the descent, but the other three caught him again.

The final climb of the day, which followed immediately, was a new one to the Vuelta, the Collada de la Gallina. The Gallina was not a long ascent, but had widely irregular gradients, with patches of up to 18% on the many switchbacks along the way.

The four leaders took about two and a half minutes with them as they started up the Gallina, with Sky still chugging away in the lead behind them. The two escapees who had earlier dropped back were caught along the way, with the leaders at only 1:24.

With about 5km still to go, Moinard finally had to drop back. Only about a minute back, Alberto Contador was holding steadily on to Chris Froome's rear wheel, with Rodriguez right behind them.

Meyer had the best legs from the remaining leaders and took off on a solo attempt.

Valverde was the first of the favourites to jump, with 3km to go, but he was soon joined by the three riders overall at the head of affairs. Froome and Contador then took off, and Valverde and Rodriguez had to scramble to stay in contact..

Froome and Contador caught Meyer on one of the steep sections, just beyond the two km to go banner. The young Australian hung on to the other two, and soon they were all joined by Valverde, Rodriguez and Daniel Moreno, as Rodriguez was the only one lucky enough to have a teammate with him.

The high-powered group of six ground its way up the Gallina, with Froome doing much of the lead work. Meyer finally dropped back, as did Moreno. Rodriguez then took over the lead, and led the four favourites under the flamme rouge.

Froome quickly attacked out of a curve, but that was to be his final flourish on the day. The other three easily caught him, and Contador then jumped into the lead on roads thronged with supporters. He pulled away easily and quickly built up a tidy lead, as the other two Spaniards did not help Froome with the chase.

Contador looked to have the win wrapped up, so he must have been shocked to peek over his shoulder in the final 100 meters to see Rodriguez and Valverde quickly approaching him. They passed him in the final meters, while Froome struggled across the finish line some 15 seconds later.
