puts performance information within your field of vision. You get a colour display that you can customise via a companion app, and you can choose from over 40 metrics, including heart rate, pace, and cadence. Engo says, “Beyond standard data, Engo Titanium integrates advanced widgets that allow users to follow structured workouts (such as interval training) and adjust their pace in real time, without taking their eyes off the road.” The surprising feature is the weight: just 28.9g. Most of the non-smart glasses we review on road. cc weigh more than that. The temples are 3D printed in France, and Engo has kept the weight low by keeping things relatively simple. “All of [the] technology is focused on its light design and the quality of the display, rather than adding extra features which will add additional weight such as cameras, speakers, microphones and additional processing power that would require a heavy battery,” says Engo.
Engo Titanium glasses offer Bluetooth Smart (BLE) connectivity and are compatible with Garmin and other devices via the ActiveLook ecosystem. They come with standard lenses for £489.95 or with photochromic lenses for £549.95. Aerobars for riding indoors?!?

Aerobars for riding indoors?!?
Zwift Ride gets the full aero treatment Aerodynamics might not make you any faster when riding indoors, but that hasn’t stopped Profile Design from giving Zwift Ride users the full time-trial treatment. The brand has launched the first dedicated aerobar setup for Zwift Ride, complete with integrated Zwift Click mounts and a slim Zwift Ride tray. The result? A way for time triallists and triathletes to spend their indoor sessions training in the same position they’ll use on race day — even if there’s no headwind to worry about. The aluminium Zwift Ride Supersonic Aerobar uses a ski-bend design, with adjustable extensions and Ergo+ armrest pads to help dial in your position. Anti-slip grips keep things secure, while integrated mounts for the Zwift Click controllers mean you can still shift, steer and navigate around Zwift without having to abandon your carefully honed aero tuck. No, these bars won’t make you faster on virtual roads, but they might make it easier to train in exactly the right position.
The Profile Design Zwift Ride Supersonic Aerobar will retail for £220, with pre-orders now open. Fancy some new Sidi shoes? If you’d like to treat yourself to a new pair of Sidi shoes but want to avoid the usual hefty price tag, the Italian brand has just unveiled the Prima 2 “for those looking for comfort and maximum reliability for their daily rides”. Available in men’s and women’s options, the Prima 2 is priced at £138. You get a microfibre upper and a mesh tongue, while closure is handled by a single NUUN 002M dial. Sidi gives the R2NC-2 nylon composite sole a stiffness index of 5 out of 12 to offer “a balance between power transfer and fluidity of movement”. If you’re after a posher performance-focused option, the Sidi Ergo 6S and Ergo 6S Woman are new too.
You get a dual-dial closure here and a full-carbon sole with a stiffness index of 11 that’s designed to maximise pedalling power. These are £259 a pair.

The Junior and Masters Championships will take place on 12th December 2026.
The Junior competition is open to riders aged 17 and 18, while the Masters Championships begin at 40 and are divided into five-year age groups. Competitors will race on a MyWhoosh recreation of the Montreal 2026 UCI Road World Championships circuit. Each lap is 13.3km long with 247m of elevation gain per lap, and each race will be two or three laps, depending on the category. Riders will compete remotely using approved equipment and verified MyWhoosh accounts. You must hold a valid licence or membership issued by your national federation, including any required UCI ID, and meet the applicable eligibility and verification requirements.

It’s free to join and there’s no limit on riders; as long as you have an indoor trainer and a MyWhoosh account, you can take part. Throughout the ride, Pogačar will feature live in the MyWhoosh app, taking questions from riders. Hunt launches 5AM Gravel Limitless aero wheels for high-volume tyres Hunt Wheels has introduced 5AM Gravel Limitless wheels that are aero-optimised for 45- 50mm tyres, with weights as low as 1,317g. Hunt says, “In [our] final wind tunnel test of 12 wheelsets, the 5AM Gravel Limitless Ti_UD recorded the lowest drag in three of four tyre configurations and was the lightest wheelset tested.”
You can read more about the development and testing of the wheels, including the wheels that Hunt tested its system against, in a white paper that accompanies the launch. The front wheel is 54mm deep and a whopping 45mm wide (27mm internal) and is said to offer side-wind handling stability. The rear wheel is a little shallower (49mm) and narrower (38mm).
