Eurobike Gallery: Continental, Giro, Specialized and Zipp

Giro is making a big push in its women's line for 2013. With subtle color accents that continue across accessories, it's now easier to get a bit of color in your cycling ki that's guaranteed to match. Photo: Nick Legan

Unfortunately Giro won't be offering its Empire shoe in any of the colors shown here. But they do make for a great display. Photo: Nick Legan

Giro made the Empire shoe at the request of Taylor Phinney. He met with Giro representatives and requested an aero shoe for time trials. The lace-up model uses the top of the range Easton EC90 sole. Photo: Nick Legan

High visibility colors are very en vogue right now and Giro is on board. Pictured left to right are the Prolight ($350), Factor ($285), Empire ($275) and Treble ($100). Photo: Nick Legan

Due to popular demand, Giro has reissued the Pneumo helmet. It has been updated with a RocLoc 5, slimline straps and buckles and a visor. They'll be available in multiple colors, including the iconic red/white/blue pictured, and will sell for $150. Photo: Nick Legan

Zipp debuts the newest addition to its disc wheel lineup, the Super 9 carbon clincher. The new wheel weighs 1,175 grams (about 180 grams heavier than the tubular version) and will cost $2,375 once it's available in November. According to Zipp's Andy Paskins, the wheel is "tire agnostic," meaning that aerodynamic differences between tires models have little effect on the wheel's aerodynamics. Paskins claims it is also "the fastest wheel we've ever made." That's due to the excellent profile of a clincher and clincher rim combo. Photo: Nick Legan

A year after Zipp launched the 303 clincher, the 202 completes the carbon clincher lineup for Zipp. The new wheel weighs 625 grams for the front and 750 grams for the rear wheel. Look to spend $2,725 to get yourself a pair. They will be available in October. Photo: Nick Legan

Continental has two new road tubular tires on display at Eurobike. The Force Comp is a 24mm-wide tire intended for use as a rear tire. It is paired with the Attack Comp and the duo won Continental a Eurobike award. The pair will sell for $250 or individually for $125. Photo: Nick Legan

Zipp's 202 carbon clincher, like all 2013 wheels, is Shimano 11-speed compatible. Zipp will also offer a retrofit kit for those with 2012 (black and pewter colored hubs) wheels. It includes a new freehub and axle and requires a re-dishing of the wheel performed by Zipp or a certified builder. Photo: Nick Legan

Specialized had early verions of its Cobl Gobl-R seatpost available for Tom Boonen and Sylvain Chavanel at this year's Paris-Roubaix. Now it's for sale. The post has 18 millimeters of vertical travel and sells in a 27.2 x 350mm size for $200. Photo: Nick Legan

Specialized is offering a limited edition of its Source Two as a fundraiser for World Bicycle Relief. For every two that are sold, Specialized with donate the cost of one of WBR's Buffalo bikes. Photo: Nick Legan

Cyclocross fans are entering a golden era. As manufacturers see sales soar, they throw more resources at the market. Continental unveils what looks like a phenomenal race tubular, the Cyclo X King. At 32mm wide, the tire weighs 390 grams with its latex tube and Black Chili compound tread. The tread pattern is based on Continental's popular X King mountain bike tread and looks like a nice all-rounder profile. Photo: Nick Legan

Easton is on board with disc brakes for cyclocross bikes, offering both a fork and a pair of tubeless wheels. The EC90 XD fork weighs 460 grams, features a tapered steerer, 45mm of offset, post mounts, and sells for $550. The EC90 XD wheel is a "bomber offering" according to Easton's Dane Zaffke. At 1,620 grams it is a little hefty, but with its 17.5mm internal width, its tubeless aluminum rim will support 'cross tires well. A pair will sell for $850. Photo: Nick Legan

Easton has its share of carbon clinchers, but for its latest offering it uses a 42mm deep aluminum/carbon rim. The EC70 SL wheelset should be a nice everyday wheel. It sells for $1,500 and weighs 1,660 grams. That's not bad for an aero wheel with a super reliable aluminum braking surface. It's also compatible with Shimano 10 or 11-speed. Photo: Nick Legan

The Attack Comp tubular is 22mm wide, intended for use as a front tire, and weighs 240 grams. With a butyl tube and Continental's Black Chili tread compound, it should be a winner. Photo: Nick Legan

New for 2013 is Continental's Mountain King cyclocross clincher. The 32mm tire weighs in at 320 grams with pricing to be determined. With its beefier trend it is intended for severe conditions or riders that like to nab a mountain bike trail aboard their CX bike. Photo: Nick Legan
