Elite Aria Ultegra

Advantages: Good Grip at the strart
Disadvantages: They wear away quite fast

...The Nike Kraken Elite Pro gloves are ok even though they were a good pair of gloves. The only problem with them is that the foam on the fingers tended to wear away quite fast than and that sometimes you could see your hands. They are good for training but i wouldnt always rely on them. You can feel the ball very well with these gloves but once the foam has gone they are useless.They have got holes in the side of them like most gloves do but these might as well as been a picture or not there at all.

On a final note the bike comes with Kendo tyres which... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight comfortable fast great handling
Disadvantages: none

...is worth buying over the standard Elite as it has high quality Shimano R560 wheels and 105 brakes, which have been highly acclaimed in recent tests. The gear shifts are fantastically smooth with 105 handles at the front and Ultegra at the rear. As you would expect, the carbon fibre frame is feather light and performs brilliantly. I am working my way up in terms of ride duration but feel pretty confident that the Roubaix will match me every step of the way, no matter how far or high steep I try to ride.... Read review
