Endure It! Swim Bike Run

Endure It! Vegas 2008 Baby (part 2 of 3)

Road Bikes

New for 2008 in the Endure It! line up is Cervelo's new RS. This bike is a friendlier fitting R3, with a longer wheel base, higher head tube, curved seat stays, and a 27.2 seat post being the main differences.

Another Cervelo change up was the white R3, and by the way white is the new black...it was everywhere.

Orbea had new colors that really stood out. The Orca is available in a few new colors including this red one equiped with sram...yep red.







Perhaps the best value in the industry is the Orbea Onix TDA with Ultegra mix at $1,899! Full carbon frame! And in Stock Already!


Orbea's women specific designed Dama series was very popular last year and looks to only get better with a few new colors, here is the pistachio Diva, and Aqua Dama



The best non carbon road bike at the show was the Orbea Arin, a super light high end aluminum jaw dropper.




Pinarello continues to lead the industry with beauty and design. The Prince has been the best selling road bike at Endure It! since the unveiling at the Tour.



Components


Shimano is bridging the gap a bit between Dura Ace and Ultegra with the new Ultegra SL, anodized gray, and a touch lighter than Ultegra.





Shimano is also starting to believe there may be something to this whole "carbon thing". Check out the new Dura Ace carbon crank.



Speaking of cranks everyone has them and they are all very light and beautiful, as far as compatability with major drivetrains?...I don't know.


This was the best new tri, tt crank I saw from FSA

We have all seen pictures of the new Sram Red, we also have pre-production Red at Endure It! if you want to check it out in person.











Remember what I said about White....

More to follow...
