The BikeRadar team has stormed into the second week of 2022 with a rip-roaring mix of news, reviews and features.<\/p>\n

We kicked off the week with a fascinating (genuinely!) review of POC\u2019s Consort Dungarees<\/a>. These have a more than passing resemblance to Carhartt insulated dungarees, but will set you back considerably more than that workwear favourite, with a set coming in at a whopping \u00a3450 \/ $500 \/ \u20ac490. That is, objectively, a lot of money to spend on a pair of riding trousers, but tech editor Alex Evans thinks they could be worth the cost.<\/p>\n

We then took a look at the bikes Harriet Harnden and Thomas Mein rode to victory<\/a> at the 2022 British National Cyclocross Championships, as well as the custom Specialized Crux<\/a> that Cameron Mason rode to second place in the men\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

We also put together a round-up of the best electric hybrid bikes<\/a> we have tested and Thursday brought the launch of Argon 18\u2019s all-new Sum road bike<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If that wasn\u2019t quite enough to sate your appetite for tech, sit back and enjoy this week\u2019s edition of First Look Friday \u2013 your weekly round-up of the best new kit to land at BikeRadar HQ.<\/p>\n
