The new Prologo MIG AIR CPC and MIG CPC gloves feature updated materials, fresh color options, and a revised version of Prologos CPC (Connect Power Control) palm tech. The goal is pretty simple: more grip, better control, less hand fatigue, and a glove that still makes sense.Prologo MIG AIR CPC & MIG CPC GlovesThe new models are aimed at anyone who wants the gains of an aero glove without giving up palm comfort. Prologo says these are the same gloves used by the Bahrain Victorious WorldTour team in top-level races. If youre going to test an aero glove, you might as well give it to riders who spend their 9 am-5 pm on a bike.CPC Moves to the PalmThe big Prologo feature here is still CPC, the brands familiar 3D polymer grip system. If youve used Prologo saddles with CPC, you know the idea. The Prologo CPC is a small, raised polymer structure that adds grip and helps reduce vibration.On the MIG AIR CPC and MIG CPC gloves, that same concept moves into the palm.Prologo says the updated CPC layout is designed to improve handlebar grip while also absorbing road vibration and small impacts. The three-dimensional polymer structures help create a more secure contact point between the hand and the bar. They dont feel intrusive (from my experience), but they offer security when things get sweaty or bumpy.Gloves can be sneaky-important equipment. A bad pair bunches up, slips around, overheats, or creates pressure right where you dont want it. A good pair disappears until you hit rough pavement, sprint out of the saddle, and keep numbness at bay.Prologo says the CPC palm is also meant to reduce hand fatigue and promote better blood circulation on longer rides. If the glove helps your hands stay planted on the bar, you dont have to squeeze as hard. Hopefully, that will translate into less pressure and no numb digits.MIG CPC: The More Classic Aero OptionThe new MIG CPC is the more traditional aero glove of the two.It keeps the original MIG gloves long cuff and aero-focused materials, then adds the CPC palm. Think of it as the clean, fast, race-day glove with more comfort and control built in.Prologo says the fit has been improved. The glove fits the hand better, with materials designed to hold up to repeated use and washing. Thats good, because cycling gloves live a hard life. They get pulled on in a rush, sweated through, forgotten in gear bags, and then expected to wash up nicely when we remember them.The MIG CPC also gets a new Optic White color option. Prologo says the white finish is meant to reflect sunlight and limit heat buildup in hot weather.That might sound like a small thing, but anyone who has worn black gloves in July knows the feeling. Your hands slowly become two tiny convection ovens. White gloves may not make you faster by themselves, but they can make a hot race feel a little less like punishment.MIG AIR CPC: The Wind-Tunnel OneThe more tech-heavy update is the MIG AIR CPC.This version gets a new fabric on the back of the hand. Prologo claims the new fabric is lighter, more elastic, and more breathable. More importantly (for the racer type), the upper section uses a special aerodynamic, ventilated fabric developed through wind tunnel testing in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano.Prologo says the fabric is optimized for airflow at speeds between 30 and 45 km/h, which is exactly where most fast group rides, races, and KOM efforts tend to live.The interesting bit is how the aero texture is built. Prologo says the pattern is not applied to the surface afterward. Instead, it is integrated directly into the fabric through a dedicated weaving process. This process should help the aero structure last longer. Because theres nothing sitting on top of the fabric to peel, crack, or wear away after a few months of hard use.The high-density woven construction also limits how much air passes through the fabric. That helps the glove manage airflow over the hand instead of letting the material act like a little parachute.Is the glove going to turn you into a time trial specialist? No. Calm down.But hands are messy in the wind. They sit right at the front of the bike, usually exposed, usually moving around, and usually ignored unless they go numb. Cleaning up airflow there makes sense, especially when most are chasing aero socks, aero helmets, aero bottles, and every other small gain.The MIG AIR CPC comes in Black, White, and Celestial.Comfort Still MattersThe danger with aero gloves is that they can get too focused on the aero part and forget the glove part.Prologo seems aware of that. The MIG AIR CPC fabric is designed to be aerodynamic, but the brand also calls out softness and skin feel. The glove is supposed to stay comfortable for rides of four to five hours or more, which is probably the correct benchmark. A glove that feels fast for 30 minutes but annoying after two hours is not a race glove. Pricing and AvailabilityThe new Prologo MIG AIR CPC and MIG CPC gloves are available now through Prologos official website and authorized dealers.Retail price is 49.The post Prologos New MIG AIR CPC and MIG CPC Gloves Add Aero Fabric & More Grip appeared first on Bikerumor.

Stablead is displaying its new 3D-printed four-piston brakes, which feature a futuristic smooth design, and independent contact and reach adjustment, at Eurobike. The brakes are still in late-stage prototyping, and use 18mm and 17mm pistons in the caliper. While we're not sure what size pads the brand has opted for, the ones shown on Stablead's stand at Eurobike feature cooling fins similar to those found on Shimano's latest high-end mountain bike brakes. These should help with heat dissipation and keep brake fade away on long descents. The brakes use mineral oil in the hydraulic system. Nick Clark / Our Media The brand also showed off some new suspension prototypes, including a downhill fork and an enduro fork, the latter of which features high-speed and low-speed compression damping alongside a port for an upcoming electronic suspension damper. These were impressively light to hold. Nick Clark / Our Media The new 'front suspension' fork looks set to be called the Loamer. Nick Clark / Our Media Stablead incorporates a significant dose of carbon fibre into its suspension, and while we couldn't get any exact figures from the brand, a spokesperson said the aim is to reduce weight by 10 per cent compared to its competition. Stablead has been very reserved with details of its suspension. Nick Clark / Our Media In the hand, the brand's rear shock is noticeably lighter than other shocks of a similar type, such as Fox's Float X2. The brand also makes drivetrain components. Nick Clark / Our Media Elsewhere on the stand, the brand is displaying its cranksets and chainrings, which come in a variety of colours.

Do you love celebrities and luxury bag manufacturers? Me neither but here we are with a new Pinarello DOGMA F, sort of.This one is not headed to your local group ride unless your local group ride starts at Paris Fashion Week and ends somewhere between that Louis Vuitton trunk store in Paris.I hope those shoes are cliplessor hes gonna have a hard ride back to Paris (Photo/Pinarello)Pinarello x Louis VuittonThe new Pinarello x Louis Vuitton bicycle, designed under the creative direction of Pharrell Williams, debuted at the Louis Vuitton Mens Spring-Summer 2027 Show in Paris.Its based on the current Pinarello DOGMA F, dressed in custom Louis Vuitton colors, finished with leather, chrome, Princeton CarbonWorks wheels, Dura-Ace Di2, CeramicSpeed bits, and enough fashion-house energy to make you sick to the stomach.Is it a race bike? Technically, yes.Cyclocross, but you just walk the runway. Fit Enough For Fashion WeekUnder the shine and leather, the bike is built from Pinarellos flagship DOGMA F platform. That means the frame uses TorayCa M40X carbon fiber, the same high-end material used in Pinarellos top race machine.A few of the jerseys in the Pinarello collection are on display in Treviso, Italy. (Photo/Jordan Villella)DOGMA is a sacred name that carries significant weight in the cycling world. Pinarello has amassed 30 overall Grand Tour victories, including 15 Tour de France wins, which is the kind of trophy cabinet most brands would turn into a museum and charge admission for.Then Louis Vuitton got involved, but why? That might have something to do with Pinerellos majority stakeholders and Bernard Arnault. Hes the chairman and chief executive officer of LVMH (an abbreviation for Louis Vuitton Mot Hennessy), the worlds largest luxury goods company just so were clear.But, if youre the CEO of a few luxury goods manufacturers, it might be cool to do a crossover product, and this is it. The Build Goes HardThe funny thing is, under the fashion-show finish, the spec is no joke.The bike uses Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9200, so shifting is handled by Shimanos top 12-speed electronic group. Wheels are Princeton CarbonWorks Mach 7580 TSV2, finished in a custom Louis Vuitton signature colorway. Tires are Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR, even though this bike only saw the shoulder of the model tasked with caring for it.CeramicSpeed gets involved with an OSPW Aero System in an exclusive chrome finish, because if youre already doing chrome fork legs and leather contact points, you may as well let the oversized pulley cage join the jewelry department.Claimed complete bike weight is 7.3kg.That is heavier than many dream DOGMA builds, sure, but also not absurd considering the extra finishing, leather, chrome bits, and deep Princeton wheels.I bet hes wishing for a CROSSISTA after shouldering an aerobike for a while on the runway. Pharrells DOGMA?Pharrell Williams, Louis Vuitton Mens Creative Director, presented the bike as a blend of elite cycling engineering and luxury craftsmanship.Fashion has been circling cycling harder over the last few years. High-end brands love the shape of the road bike: clean lines, expensive materials, technical language, speed, performance, exclusivity, and plenty of surfaces for tasteful branding.Cycling also has its own built-in luxury culture, whether we admit it or not. We already obsess over carbon layups, ceramic bearings, titanium hardware, limited paint, custom builds, and ungodly pricing.So maybe this collab is not as strange as it sounds.Will You Be Able to Buy It?Yes, sort of. Pinarello says the bike will be integrated into Louis Vuittons collection of exceptional creations and offered exclusively through Louis Vuitton.That means this wont be hanging at your local Pinarello dealer next to the F-Series bikes.No price was listed in the release, which feels very on-brand because, if you have to askTech SpecsFrame: Pinarello DOGMA F, TorayCa M40X carbon fiber, custom Louis Vuitton signature colorway, and hand-finished detailingFork: Pinarello ONDA fork, exclusive chrome finishCockpit: Talon Ultra-Fast integrated cockpit, chrome finish, Louis Vuitton leather-wrapped barsGroupset: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9200, 12-speed electronicWheels: Princeton CarbonWorks Mach 7580 TSV2, custom Louis Vuitton colorwayTires: Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TRBearings/Drivetrain: CeramicSpeed OSPW Aero System, exclusive chrome finishSaddle: Custom Louis Vuitton leather-covered saddleWeight: 7.3kg complete bikeThe post Pinarello, Pharrell, & Louis Vuitton made a 7.3kg DOGMA F for the Fashion Week Peloton appeared first on Bikerumor.
