Indoor Cycling Inspiration – Ben Ralston
in Blog Post, Bloggers, Elite Cycle Trainers, Fitness, Health, Health and Lifestyle, Kit Facts, Kit Reviews, Lifestyle, Robert Thorpe, Robert Thorpe Kit Reviews, Robert Thorpe Lifestyle, TrainingIndoor cycling isn’t just for elite athletes and keen amateur riders.

Pirelli Scorpion XC RC Mountain Bike Tyre
in Blog Post, Bloggers, Kit Reviews, Robert Thorpe, Robert Thorpe Kit Reviews, Technical Kit, Tyres Drivetrain and Finishing Kitwe decided to put a set of latest Pirelli race ready Scorpion tyres on our test bikes this year. Not only did we choose their super fast and flighty, Scorpion XC RC, but we then went for the 2.2 widths – just to add a bit more spice. True to form, the Orbea Oiz XC bike that we ran these tyres on, became an unleashed trail beast that required careful handling, and harping back to those halcyon days where flat pedals on a hard tail taught you the necessary skills of foot control.

I want to feel safe, and it’s not always possible when you’re testing tyres. However, these new Pirelli all-weather tyres in the 26 mm size are the cycle tyre equivalent of having Belgium Chocolate Cake from Jervaulx Abbey – they’re simply irresistible.

All too often, historically, brands have simply produced downsized products for women, and have failed either deliberately or otherwise, to recognise the physiological differences. Yes, the cycling world simply used a ‘Pink it & Shrink it’ mentally, failing to understand the specific needs of women as athletes.
