Plus all the news and reviews from the last week <\/p>
It\u2019s time for another edition of First Look Friday<\/a>, our weekly round-up of the latest swag to arrive at BikeRadar HQ, and a chance to revisit some content highlights from the week.<\/p>\n This week has been absolutely jam-packed with delicious news, reviews, features and more. So before we get on to the new kit, let\u2019s take a look at what you might have missed.<\/p>\n Liv, the sister brand of Giant, announced the EnviLiv Advanced<\/a> \u2013 its version of the highly rated 2023 Giant Propel<\/a>.<\/p>\n We were lucky enough to get a test bike in advance of the launch and our tester, Katherine Moore<\/a>, found it \u201cexcels at speed yet is surprisingly smooth and comfortable\u201d. A great option for women who race or simply like to ride fast, then.<\/p>\n Caf\u00e9 du Cycliste took hike-a-bike to a whole new level with its hiking boots-inspired gravel shoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n In men\u2019s pro racing, meanwhile, the Uno-X Pro Cycling Team caused a stir at the Volta ao Algarve with a new, rather outlandish, time trial helmet<\/a>.<\/p>\n Presumably made by team sponsor Sweet Protection<\/a>, the helmet appears to draw inspiration from the POC Tempor<\/a>, by using a flared shape designed to smooth the airflow over the rider\u2019s shoulders.<\/p>\n
