Five cool things coming soon from Specialized, Rapha, Assos, Pas Normal Studios and Vielo

This is in fact the second generation of the V+1, it’s optimised for a 1x drivetrain and sits on the performance side of gravel rather than trying to be a dropped bar mountain bike. The most striking thing about the bike when we unboxed it in the office is just how chunky the downtube is where it approaches the bottom bracket, and just how slender the seat stays are. That and the pastel colours…The bike comes with plenty of claims of stiffness where you need it and “built-in compliance”.

The shorts are Rapha’s ‘Classic Fit’, so should be close but relaxed, and the main body of the shorts is made from 58% recycled nylon. Steve Williams has been putting the kilometres in wearing these, has he found them to be comfortable? Read his full verdict coming soon to find out…Assos says that its new GTV jersey sets “a new standard for premium comfort in the female-specific equipment range.” Big claims then, and an equally large price tag of £165.

The GTV jersey technically falls into Assos’ RegularFit category, but they point out that the materials and tailoring give the jersey a wrinkle-free fit more common with race-fit clothing. Has Assos managed to make women’s race clothing comfortable? Suvi has been trying this one out and will be delivering her full review soon.

At £200 this is Pas Normal Studios' signature performance bib short which is designed for “the hardest days on the bike”. They're hand-assembled in Italy and there are plenty of buzz words on the product page such as “race-fit”, “aerodynamic” and “Anatomically fitted Chamois”. I’ll be cutting through the jargon and delivering my verdict soon.
