The reissued Sogn or the 2011 rSogn road bike has been released. Rawland Cycles, the company that introduced fat-tired, production road bikes to the cycling industry, decided to introduce another innovative machine after the success of the Rawland Sogn, the first true fat-tired, production road bike.

Tailored after the core design principle of all Sogn models, the frameset of the 2011 rSogn road bike has a true road geometry. Decided with a steep head angle, low-to-mid trail fork, and moderate chain stay length—paired with the ability to fit tires up to 2.5” wide, the rSogn is ideal not only for daily commuters.

2011 Fizik Cyrano Aluminium Seatpost

Italian saddle companies like their saddles nice and comfortable but at the same time very efficient in performance, especially during races. But for a saddle to deliver its intended promise, it relies on the seatpost for help. It is the main reason why saddle maker Fizik has created the 2011 Fizik Cyrano Aluminum Seatpost, a innovative seatpost that offers great comfort and efficiency.

Two keypoints for this seatpost that riders should be aware of are as follows:

The first keypoint is that the Fizik Cyrano works well together with just about any type of saddle and bike frame rails. The seatpost head is made of durable alloys and is divided into two parts. A narrow upper clamp and a lower clamp that is ultra-wide.

The other part that makes the Fizik seatpost so unique compared to other seatposts available to the market is its adaptability. It can work well with carbon…

2011 Kestrel 4000 Pro SL-Ultegra

The next logical evolution for bike company Kestrel has finally arrived in the form of the 2011 Kestrel 4000 Pro SL-Ultegra. The 4000 Pro SL-Ultegra looks very different from the standard Kestrel bikes we have come to know and love, especially with the addition of the seat tube, something that has never been done in the entire bike line from Kestrel, including its predecessor the Airfoil.

Because of the introduction of the seat tube in the Ultegra’s design, the bike’s ride has experienced an increase in stiffness all around. The bike frame gets bolstered thus increasing the responsiveness yet maintains the trademark smooth ride as a result of the thin seat tube. Several sizes are available but a word of warning, though: These bikes have a low geometry so this might fit perfectly for those guys who really want to hang low.

Simply put, this new tri-bike is boldly going where…

Sun Ringle has released a hot new product for 2011, the Dirty Flea Single Speed cassette hub. Just like a lot of Sun Ringle hubs, the 2011 Sun Ringle Dirty Flea Single speed hub features outstanding durability and smoothness.

Comparing to the traditional freewheel single speed hub, the hub is a unique item. The smaller cassette body of cassette single speed hubs do not force the rider into one static position for the rear cog.

Fine-tuning the position of the cog is easy with the single speed hubby Sun Ringle because it is equipped with only a few spacers. Through this, the impeccable chainline with almost any crank set up is guaranteed. Multiple single speed gears or a mini geared set up is allowed as well. …
