The BMC Agonist is the pure result of focused engineering. BMC didn't want another "one" bike, with a handful of small compromises, engineered do most things, but nothing perfectly. Instead, the Agonist knows its role: This 110mm-travel 29er is a dream ride for XC-oriented Trail riders, superbly balancing control, efficiency, and comfort over anything from smooth singletrack to brutal technical descents. A race worthy mountain bike with the speed to keep it going all day. But where the Agonist - and you - will be happiest is simply taking in endless miles of high-speed trail.

But in the context of a high performance bicycle frame, if it refers to the number of grams the frame weighs, that number becomes staggering. A full 100 grams lighter than the already-feathery Zero.7, the Wilier Zero.6’s weight is made all the more impressive when you realize that no sacrifices in performance were made to achieve such a figure. It still responds immediately, rides smoothly, and handles with precision and balance. It is a thing of beauty.

At R&A, it’s been a best-seller, with universally positive reviews and “virality” among our customers. The fact that they could evolve the F8 so much farther, into the F10, is a testament to the dedication of Pinarello and its engineers. Every element of the F8 was analyzed and re-thought for further optimization, the result being a bike that preserves the coveted ride and solidity of the F8, but enhances performance in a tangible way for any rider.

De Rosa Protos

Despite their modest public profile, De Rosa is a name of towering respect in cycling, and the Protos is their flagship model. It's the stiffest, fastest frame they've ever created, yet it doesn't ditch the elegance for which the brand is known. Those aesthetics are as fanciful as they are functional, which is why R&A loves this bike. The small Italian firm's handful of engineers individually select all of the materials that will form the tubing for each Protos, and all painting is done meticulously by hand by local Italian artisans. It's as breathtaking to behold as it is to ride.

BMC TeamElite

Most of the cycling world is familiar with BMC’s stellar TeamMachine road bike – the bike on which the likes of Cadel Evans and others have won nearly countless major tour and classic titles. So what happens when the technology that earns that performance is aimed at the trail? You get the 2016 BMC Teamelite 01 hardtail 29er. Don’t assume it’s just some re-proportioned Teammachine tubes, however. The Teamelite 01 is a very different beast. It’s as razor-sharp as you expect a hardtail to be, but it employs an entirely unique carbon layup schedule, as well as a 142mm rear thru-axle, internal cable routing, and BMC’s new Micro Travel Technology on the rear end to offer a ride far smoother than you expect of a hardtail without giving up any responsiveness.

Italy is well known for it's superb bicycles and it's superb cars. So what happens when the most famous versions of each – Colnago and Ferrari™ – come together? You get the Colnago V1-R. The bike isn't a marketing exercise, however. It's a performer. While the Colnago C60 is the brand's excellent all-around machine, the V1-R replaces the M10 as Colnago's frame aimed squarely at racers. The stiff monocoque carbon chassis (which rides more firmly than any other Colnago, but still like a Colnago), the ThreadFit82.5 bottom bracket, and the aerodynamic tuning all conspire to bestow maximum speed on the rider – and without sacrificing that famous Colnago handling. Learn more about the amazing Colnago V1-R, and the many ways in which R&A can build one for you.

Enter the new 2018 BMC Roadmachine. It was designed from axle-to-axle to be a bicycle of ultimate versatility on the road, and it gives up nothing to reach such a breadth of skill. The ride quality of an endurance bike, the responsiveness and control of a sprint machine, and all with seamless component and cable integration, disc brakes, and your choice of two cockpit heights. Usually, trying to be everything for everyone leads to mediocrity – but with the 2018 BMC Roadmachine revolts against the "usual". So what makes the BMC Roadmachine such a revolution?

CEP Compression

If you don't know, it's time to learn: muscle compression is a growing sub field of sports medicine that has captured the attention of coaches, doctors, and athletes alike. Far from a trend, compression has tangible benefits, including supporting muscles during activities for greater response and less fatigue, and increasing blood flow both during and after your activity, making your cardiovascular system more efficient and speeding recovery. CEP is a world leader in muscle compression science, sponsoring elite triathletes like Andrew Potts and Michelle Vesterby, who benefit from CEP's years of research and product development. R&A is stocking CEP deep this season, with products to benefit you on the bike, on the run, or even while recovering at home or at the office – and we're so confident, we'll give you a full refund if you're not satisfied within 30 days of receiving them.

2INpower Crankset

Power meters have become indispensable as training tools, but they also haven't progressed much. Enter the Rotor 2INpower Crankset. A total of eight sensors measure torque as distributed throughout the crank, and throughout the entire pedal stroke - as opposed to one or two sensors that strictly measure peak output. margin of error of less than 1%, means a more clear picture of your performance profile, and ANT+ compatibility makes it easier to see that profile, too. Because it's a Rotor crank, it's compatible with all elliptical Rotor Q-Rings. Not sure which ring size helps you perform your best? 2INpower can tell you that, and much more.

Pinarello Dogma F8

You've dreamt of it. You’ve envisioned it. You've built it, piece by piece, in your mind. It's your dream bike. It rides smoothly, handles sharply, and climbs effortlessly. All told, it's probably a lot like the 2016 Pinarello Dogma F8. Having been ridden to multiple pro-tour victories – including back-to-back Tour de France wins under Chris Froome – the F8’s pedigree trumps that of virtually all other superbikes. And it’s not just a collection of superlatives. Co-developed along with Jaguar’s Formula One team, the F8 is also one of the most aerodynamic bikes in its class. With all this going for it, and multiple versions available, as well as full customization possibility, it really is a dream machine. Contact R&A today to discuss yours.

Zipp NSW

Now’s the time. If you’ve been holding off to make that wheelset upgrade, waiting for those hoops that will make a genuine difference not just in looks, but also in performance, this is what you’ve been anticipating. Zipp’s new NSW wheelset line-up takes the technology achieved by the company’s revolutionary Firecrest wheelsets, and kicks it up several notches. From siped braketracks to zero-drag graphics to magnetically actuated hubs that automatically disengage while coasting, NSW is no-holds-barred performance in the form of the sleekest and fastest wheels ever to come out of Zipp’s Indiana, USA, factory. If you’ve been waiting for that truly amazing new wheelset, your patience has now been rewarded.

CeramicSpeed Pulleys

It's so obvious, yet so easily overlooked. Your pedaling forces aren't just up against gravity and leverage. There's drag in your drivetrain, and when you add it all up, over all those miles you ride, it's a lot of resistance you don't even realize you're facing. That's where CeramicSpeed OS Pulleys comes in. The Danish company has been refining ceramic bearing technology since 2000, when they first introduced ceramic bearings to cycling, blowing away engineers and athletes alike. Ceramic ball bearings are an obvious upgrade your drivetrain in every way: they're smoother, lighter, and last up to 60% longer than traditional steel bearings. CeramicSpeed goes the extra mile by making sure their OS Pulleys look great, too, giving you one less excuse not to make such an obvious upgrade. Order some from R&A to feel the speed you've been missing.

Orbea Ordu

The term "ordu" means "moment" in the Basque language, native to the region in northern Spain that is home to the Orbea brand. The name is appropriate, because Orbea understands the value of time - hence, the incredible technology and performance packed into the 2016 Orbea Ordu. Designed to save you more than just a few precious seconds, the completely redesigned lines shed every gram of unnecessary aerodynamic drag while still remaining remarkably comfortable, thanks to Ordu's OMP carbon construction and a new geometry platform, which affords flexibility without compromise and full UCI legality for both triathlons and time trials. We can't but help think it looks amazing, as well. Click through to learn more about the 2016 Orbea Ordu at R&A Cycles, a machine that could very well afford you the time of your life.

Argon 18 Nitrogen Pro

Named for the most abundant element in our atmosphere, the all-new 2016 Nitrogen Pro from Argon 18 is one with its surroundings. Aerodynamically tuned with the same thinking-outside-the-box engineering prowess that the company applies to its world-beating Triathlon/TT framesets, the road-ready Nitrogen Pro moves through the wind like no other, complete with Argon 18’s own included AHB5000 handlebar/stem combo that reduces drag by up to 30% over traditional round bar designs. Because speed happens in the turns, too, the Nitrogen Pro has still been dialed in with the geometry and handling characteristics of an aggressive road machine, as well, so it’s ready to charge for the line or dive into the corners. Wherever and whenever you need to dial up the velocity, the Nitrogen Pro is ready.

What does the number 10 mean to you? In the case of Pinarello's new superbike, the K8-S, it means comfort, it means endurance, and it means a fantastic new machine. Starting with the world-class Dogma F8, the K8-S adds 10mm to the head tube and 10mm of rear suspension. Engineers then beat their weight target by an impressive 10 grams. The final result is the K8-S, a sibling to the F8 that rides smoother, is easier on your back and neck, and is astonishingly lightweight for how comfortable it is. As the pros who have ridden it can attest, it's a true game-changer.

BMC Impec

Designed, engineered, and manufactured entirely in Switzerland, the BMC Impec justifies the stereotype of obsessive Swiss quality. While prototyping the Impec, the company’s engineers set standards so high for the final product that they had to build a new manufacturing facility from the ground up. The factory, called the Impec Lab, is in Grenchen, a town famous for its world-class watch-making – and this is no coincidence. Granting BMC perfect control of the Impec’s creation, from start to finish, the facility’s result is a world-class race bike with a ride, a look, and a story unlike any other.

SRAM eTap

SRAM has always been an engine of innovation in cycling, and the new eTap wireless drivetrain platform is that engine revving to the redline. eTap for road is truly and entirely wireless - no cables, junction boxes, or external batteries - while eTap for tri/TT only requires a small controller box for the shifters. Everything is self-contained, reliable, and easy to use and understand. It changes the game. Frame engineers, shop mechanics, pro racers, weekend riders - everyone can benefit from SRAM eTap. Will you?

Pioneer Power Meters

You don't need to be a pro to benefit from monitoring your power output. Pioneer Power Meters help you uncover your strengths and weaknesses on the bike - and nearly all riders are surprised by what they learn about themselves when they finally install one. From torque asymmetry, to specific power locations throughout your stroke, to your different endurance thresholds and heart rate, there's more to learn about your riding than you realized. Whether you're a dedicated racer or weekend spinner, now's the time to start riding smarter - and spending less money than before to do so.

Cipollini RB1K

It's not all flash and dash. Yes, the Cipollini RB1000 (or RB1K) looks like a showpiece, but what you see here is the culmination of Mario Cipollini's demand for the fastest bike his engineers could make. Himself a world-class sprinter, the RB1K needed to be stiff, stable, and accurate to meet his expectations for his flagship machine. The geometry is long, low, and aggressive. The ride is relatively comfortable, but you won’t forget you're on a race bike. Cipollini will readily admit that it’s an extreme machine, and not for everyone. It's for those that require maximum forward velocity with minimal sacrifice - or, put another way, those that want an Italian supercar in bicycle form.

Colnago C59

The story of how the Colnago C59 was developed and how it is assembled is just as compelling as the bike's performance. Over 40 prototypes of the C59 were tested before production began. Entirely handmade in Colnago's own factory in Italy, with hand-kept records of every step of the production process for each individual frame, all C59s are then shipped to Tuscany to be hand painted by local artists. The performance of the bike is equally as impressive, too. Stellar handling, a sublime ride, and a stiff chassis make the C59 equally capable on climbs, descents, or in the sprints.

OPEN U.P.

Drawing from previous experience designing world-class road and time trial bikes, as well as their revolutionary mountain hardtail frames, Open introduces the U.P. (Unbeaten Path). A jack of many trades, the UP’s design leaves it ready for virtually anything. Install drop bars, with either slick or knobby tires, and you can race on the road or the cyclocross course. If you want to push even farther off road, the frame can be mounted with 650b/27.5” wheels and tires up to 2.1” in width. Install a flat bar, and suddenly you have a light, agile, and tough XC mountain bike. The variety of build options - and adventure options - is endless.

3T wheels

It's rare that form and function reach equal heights. The thoroughly redesigned 2016 3T wheelset lineup, however, is a notable exception. Rigorously engineered with new technologies like asymmetrical rim drilling and lacing, oversized hub shells, and high-temperature, fade-resistant braking surfaces, both the Discus and Orbis II wheel families will improve any bicycle upon which they're installed - and they’ll look beautiful doing so.

Orbea Occam

The Orbea Occam has been R&A's best-selling mountain bike all season, and taking a closer look at it, it's not hard to see why. Available in two different platforms – with two different geometries, travel ranges, and wheel sizes – there's an Occam for virtually any rider.
