It is nothing new if we tell you that Quoc is doing things really well and that, as a result, it has established itself as a great brand in the cycling shoe market. We still have our first pair of Quoc Night Lace Up that we purchased in 2017. It was the brand’s first road model and, although they had just started, they already had small details that made them stand out from the rest. With a white upper as the main part, shiny black details, pink laces, and a line with a classic air, our pair of Quoc looked and performed wonderfully. Now, years later, the firm has a catalog of high-quality pro ..read more

The South Korean brand HJC, recognized for its long experience in the manufacture of motorcycle helmets, presented last January a renewed version of its star road models: the Ibex 3 and the Valeco 2. We have had the opportunity to put the Ibex 3 to the test for a long period and the feedback has been very satisfactory. We are convinced that if the brand positions this model at the top of its catalog range, it is for its own merits such as the aesthetics, aerodynamics, comfort, and weight. HJC’s biggest bet Part of the brand’s DNA is to bet on the development of new technologies and offer maxi ..read more

Following a different approach, within the current offer, there is a company that is focusing instead on the use of virtual reality and works very hard to bring the outside world closer to the insid ..read more

Around the beginning of February, many riders from the professional peloton officially start their competitive season. That might not be the case for cyclocross riders, as they are just finishing their fall-winter season, with the culminating point with the Worlds in Tábor two weeks ago. However, road-focused cyclists take the opportunity to improve their form after the winter preparation by taking part in small one-day or short multiple-stage races, which puts them back in the racing mindset.
