Castelli Free Aero Race Bibs Review

Castelli’s new Free Aero Race Bibshort has been redesigned from the bottom up, inside out, and top down, and back to front –  it’s a brand new bibshort named after their best selling bibshort ever. Early Spring here at PEZ HQ means I’ve logged a few good rides in ‘em and they’ve impressed enough to warrant a stand alone review. It’s not often we dedicate the space, or time to a detailed review of a single item of riding kit, but there’s a lot of smart thinking and technical design in these bibshorts to make them worth talking about.  Virtually every part of the short has been rethought, redesigned and rebuilt – from the materials, to panel shapes, to fit and feel, to replace the Free Bibshort launched in 2007, that Castelli says changed the bibshort industry with the “feeling of freedom it provided” – and there’s where the name came from.   The  front is cut low for easy access, and a more comfy fit under the belly, instead of over it. I count 10 panels of material (plus the seat pad) on the new Free Aero Race bibs (part of their top-shelf Rosso Corsa line) – more than ...

David Millar and Maserati team up for Tour de Yorkshire

Retired only in the sporting sense, David Millar has hardly had time to put his feet up after a 17-year professional cycling career.  Following his retirement at the end of last season, David Millar has teamed up with the Italian car brand, Maserati, as the official cycling ambassador and event sponsor for this year’s Tour de Yorkshire. “Just like the sport of cycling, motor sport is steeped in history.” “Just like the sport of cycling, motor sport is steeped in history, and the Maserati brand has played a key role in this rich heritage, through 100 years of engineering innovation,” says David Millar. “I am excited that two of my greatest passions in life are being combined and delighted to be involved from the start of what looks set to be a fantastic initiative. The first of these experiences will be the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire Ride on Sunday 3rd May.

Jock Wadley Race Report

There has been a lot of hype and press surrounding Steele Von Hoff recently with his wins in Australia earlier in the year but no-one ever knew how that was going to transfer to British roads in British races. Today we had our answer. The Australian NFTO rider was at the front during the neutralised part of the race and always near the front from then on so it was no surprise after many laps of attacks coming and going, that when a dozen or so riders got away, Steele was in there with a lot of other strong riders. Along with Steele, no surprise that Ireland’s Eddie Dunbar also of NFTO, who had been covering everything early on, was also in there along with the likes of Yanto Barker and Marcin Bialoblocki, youngster Rory Towsend, Will Bjergfelt (Sportgrub Kuota), Mike Cuming, Richard Handley, and Will Goulbourne. There were others too and the break quickly opened up a massive gap on the peloton which at one stage was so far behind, it was in danger of being stopped before the finish. After a late attack from Rory Towsend who didn’t want a group from behind to catch them, Steele Von ...

Video: ‎Free Shorts‬ – Cutting Edge Technology

The new Castelli Free Aero Race Bibshort is further evidence of Castelli’s dedication to making clothing that provides a competitive advantage for top athletes. After 3 years in development, Castelli’s new top-of-the-line race short represents a significant increase in muscle support and comfort to go along with the wind tunnel tests that show a 10 watt savings at 50 km/hr compared to the outgoing model.  Our best race short is now both more comfortable and more aerodynamic and represents the biggest marginal aerodynamic gains we’ve ever seen in cycling shorts. The rules of the game have changed.

Video: ‎Free Shorts‬ – Revolution Strikes Again!

For 2015 Castelli has made some significant new improvements in crucial race equipment. If you were fast, you might have noticed some of the new aero details of the Free Aero Race Bib Short that team Cannondale-Garmin and MTN-Qhubeka riders are using this season. We’ve completely re-engineered every detail—starting with CFD modeling of the rider and surface textures, followed by iterative rounds of samples, then days of wind tunnel and road testing, followed by testing in the Tour de France and La Vuelta a España. Our best race short is now both more comfortable and more aerodynamic and represents the biggest marginal aerodynamic gains we’ve ever seen in cycling shorts. The rules of the game have changed.
