<\/a><\/p>\nEndura MT500 Waterproof II Jacket<\/strong><\/p>\n Nominated:<\/strong> 2015 Best Gear or Product from Pinkbike<\/p>\n \u201cEndura builds mega durable soft goods and hails from Scotland, where winters are long and harsh. We expected a lot from their best waterproof jacket<\/a> and that’s what we received. Every seam is sealed, its ventilation strategy operates beautifully, venting enough air to keep its occupant dry, without throwing open the doors for Old Man Winter. The jacket’s three-layer-laminate Exoshell60 fabric is pretty much the state of the art for breathable, waterproof fabric, which furthers its comfort levels under sustained efforts, and drawstrings are located in key places to customize the jacket’s fit at the hood, waist, and lower seam.\u201d<\/p>\n MSRP: $399.99 CAD Park Tool Adjustable Torque Driver<\/strong><\/p>\n Nominated:<\/strong> 2015 Best Gear or Product from Pinkbike<\/p>\n \u201cPark Tool’s ATD-1\u00a0<\/a>is a double assurance that home and shop mechanics will properly torque key cockpit, brake and drivetrain items – because it is easy to operate, and it eliminates confusion by offering only the five torque values commonly used on a bike. ATD stands for “Adjustable Torque Driver” and it is an ergonomically comfortable T-handle wrench with a five-way adjustable torque function. The business end has a magnetic driver that fits all commercial 1\/4 inch bits.\u201d<\/p>\n MSRP: $104.99 CAD <\/p>\n Topeak Alien II Multi Tool \u201cThis particular tool contains 26 tools in one, along with a nylon bag for easy storage. Whether you need to tweak your chain, spokes, or pedals, this tool should come in very handy.\u201d<\/p>\n MSRP: $69.99 CAD <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Awarded:<\/strong> Interbike\u2019s Road Product Innovation of the year and People\u2019s Upgrade Choice Award. \u201cFor off-road use,\u00a0SRAM\u2019s x1 (single chainring) groupsets offer many advantages<\/a>. They simplify the drive chain by dispensing with the second chainring and front derailleur, removing a potential source of clogging.<\/p>\n The clutch rear mech maintains chain tension and prevents chain slap. Whereas the chainring has alternating wide and narrow teeth to ensure chain retention and help clear debris.\u201d<\/p>\n Review <\/p>\n Nominated:<\/strong> Pinkbike\u2019s 2015 Innovation of the Year Award \u201cThe\u00a0TRS+ broad-range cassette<\/a> achieved our nomination because it broadens the gearing spread of an 11-speed one-by drivetrain to that of a comparable two-by system, it offers long-term serviceability, and it is cross-compatible with existing derailleurs and XD drivers.\u00a0Weight: 320g 11spd, 300g 10spd.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n MSRP: $357.99 CAD <\/p>\n Crankbrothers Mallet E Pedals<\/strong><\/p>\n Selected:<\/strong> One of MTBR\u2019s Best New Products of 2015<\/p>\n \u201cThe Mallet DH pedal is extraordinarily popular on the downhill circuit and\u00a0Crankbrothers<\/a>\u00a0hopes to capture some of this same magic with their new enduro version. This pedal has a 52mm Q-factor, is 12% smaller, and 50 grams lighter than the DH version. It also utilizes new internal components, which Crankbrothers claims will help increase longevity.<\/p>\n MSRP $229 CAD <\/p>\n Wahoo KICKR Turbo Trainers<\/strong><\/p>\n Selected:<\/strong> One of Cycling Weekly\u2019s Innovative Techs of the Year<\/p>\n \u201cThe direct drive set up removes the need to use a rear wheel and provides a more road like feel than a traditional turbo trainer. However, it is the KICKR\u2019s third party software compatibility that is really impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n KICKR Power MSRP: $1657.99 CAD <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At Live to Play Sports we pride ourselves on distributing fantastic brands with technically sound and innovative products.
