Spiuk Casta

Spiuk’s Casta sits at the lower end of the tri shoes market but, sadly, the term ‘bargain’ doesn’t apply. In fact, with the major outsole component being shared with the cheaper dhb Tri Road (see review elsewhere on 220triathlon.com), we’re struggling to justify the difference. This shoe also suffers from a poorly fitting upper that […]

Spiuk EVO 2

Spiuk use a three-layer theory when designing their garment range: the inner (base) layer is used predominantly for breathability and moisture transportation; the mid-layer for thermoregulation; and the outer layer for insulation. A combination of these layers can (they claim) provide solutions to nearly any condition. The EVO 2 is Spiuk’s mild winter base layer. […]

Spiuk Evolution 2

This is a sleek, stylish and well-designed suit that could be worn for both training and racing a triathlon. It has been designed to mould to the athlete’s body in all three disciplines, and it does so brilliantly. It’s an extremely comfortable suit with low-profile seams throughout, to avoid chafing to the skin, and offers […]

Spiuk Ventix

The Ventix have a similar classic bike appeal to the Brikos, but without the compromise, and better ventilation to keep them fog-free on a run. The upper frame closely skims the face, with the hinges set slightly back to minimise any peripheral interference. Unlike many similar frames there’s no obstruction during aero riding, nor is […]

Spiuk ZS1-RC

This is a great-looking and well-detailed shoe with a sexy gloss finish that definitely adds to the overall look, even if the Velcro adjustment is a bit sticky for it. The shoe has a woven carbon sole, though not in the traditional black. Instead, the bling theme continues with a rather nice silver finish. The […]

Spiuk ZS1-R

There are two models of ZS1-R, this one being the lower-priced, non-carbon version, with an additional 10g per shoe. It’s not as glossy as its carbon namesake, and has the same outsole as the cheaper dhb R1 shoe, which is disconcerting given the price difference. But the ZS1-R makes more use of the interchangeable winter […]

Spiuk Nexion

The 324g Spiuk is a good fit for many riders, but still hot and heavy for the money. The Nexion is another lid trying to bluff its way with a ‘one size fits all’ shell, but at least this one is shaped well enough to avoid obvious rock and wobble. The twin tab ratchet strap […]

Spiuk ?Evolution 2

Spiuk’s latest offering is a female-specific tri-suit based on their respected swimsuit. First up, the lightweight and slick fabric of the Evolution 2 gives it a fast feel in the water, thanks primarily to little absorption. The open-back design is unique to the women’s tri-suits tested here and we really like the look. Not only […]

Spiuk Second Skin Unisex

Spiuk is well known in the triathlon arena, in no small part thanks to Spain’s Javier Gomez storming many a World Cup over the last few seasons. They’ve garnered a strong reputation… which carries over to the Second Skin. In short, it does exactly what it says on the tin, fitting very close to the […]
