Elite Turbomuin turbo trainer tested and rated by our expert reviewer
Following yesterday’s sale to Halfords, founder of Boardman Bikes says he will be “significantly more involved” in the business than ever before
Elite models such as AiRTT/9.4 reported to be included in deal, with founder Chris Boardman to stay in place as chairman and design director
You’ll have to part with £3k but will the Elite prove that steel bikes can be light and racy?
These have plenty of features to justify their price tag. Most obvious is the variable resistance that offers three levels of load. Level two feels very similar to riding on a flat road with a light headwind and is suitable for most interval, tempo and steady pace sessions. You obviously can’t create enough resistance for […]
The Elite Aeton is one of only a few aero drinks bottles on the market with the downtube-mounted Speedfil and Profile Design Aerodrink its closest rivals. In terms of capacity, the Aeton holds 750ml (compared with 900ml in the Profile and 1,200ml in the Speedfil) so it comes up a little short there, but this […]
Rollers or turbo trainer? Ah, the cyclist’s indoor training dilemma. A turbo offers more resistance and you don’t need to have circus performer skills to ride one, but rollers are great for developing balance, spinning fast and impressing your mates.

The three rear roller positions cope with different wheel sizes, but the unbolting and rebolting means it’s a pain setting up. But that’s about the only weak point. The urethane-coated roller reduces slip and provides a […]
The first thing we noticed about the Craft Elite suit was the colour: while it may appeal to some tastes, we think it’s decidedly dull. But that negative vibe didn’t transcend to its feel – it’s comfortable and doesn’t restrict movement in any of the disciplines. A good chamois provides sufficient padding on the bike, […]
Traditionally a runner’s brand, ?Saucony has spread its wings and moved into the tri market. The Elite suit is its female-specific tri-suit, which is new in name but not in construction, as it’s simply the renamed Athena tri-suit. Like the Athena, the first thing you notice is the overly large size. On the plus side, […]
