If an $800 cycling outfit, shiny new lights and a shred-tastic gravel bike suspension<\/a> fork aren\u2019t quite enough for you, why not take a look back at the very best of BikeRadar this week?<\/p>\n

The last seven days brought yet more Bike of the Year 2022 reviews<\/a>, with the Cube Stereo 120 HPC 29<\/a>, Scott Addict RC<\/a>, Saracen Ariel 50E Elite<\/a> and BMC Roadmachine X<\/a> gracing the BikeRadar homepage.<\/p>\n

A round-up of seven of the freshest mountain bike tyre inserts<\/a> on the market \u2013 a relatively new and burgeoning product category \u2013 was also a highlight.<\/p>\n

Finally, we saw the release of the all-new Garmin Edge 1040 <\/a>bike computer. This introduces solar charging and, finally, a move to USB-C charging.<\/p>

The Del Dios collection is California-based cycling brand Eliel\u2019s new top-end, performance-focused kit.<\/p>\n

Said to be five years in the making, the Del Dios collection is Eliel\u2019s vision of what an \u201cabsolutely uncompromising cycling kit would look and feel like\u201d.<\/p>\n

Eliel\u2019s Del Dios bib shorts are made from abrasion-resistant nylon with a lightly knitted construction that, Eliel claims, offers light aero properties.<\/p>\n

In addition, the shorts are constructed from \u201c\u200b\u200ban ergogenic fabric that reflects heat energy back to the body\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is claimed to \u201cpromote micro blood circulation, reducing lactic acid build-up and improving oxygen transfer thus supporting the leg muscles during long\/hard pedalling sessions\u201d. Heady stuff!<\/p>\n

The Del Dios jersey is made from proprietary fabrics that are claimed to reduce aerodynamic drag, with the effect most pronounced at \u201cspeeds ranging from 25km\/h to 50km\/h\u201d. No figure is provided for these claimed savings.<\/p>\n

Finally, the vest is made from a densely woven fabric that is windproof without relying on an additional laminate layer.<\/p>\n

The inside of the vest is lined with a grid of flocked squares that helps to trap heat without increasing bulk.<\/p>\n

Perhaps unsurprisingly, such high-end kit comes with a high-end price tag to match (international pricing N\/A):<\/p>\n
